Savant Alaska, LLC hired CH2M HILL to be the lead contractor for the Badami Unit Redevelopment Project, 2009-2010 Tundra Winter road. The road was needed to transport equipment from the North Slope of Alaska to the Badami field, including a 2.5 million lb drilling rig. It ranges from a minimum of 6 in. thick to 5 ft at river and road crossings, made by mixing snow and ice with water making a solid, stable base coating protecting the tundra. The road was built in 32 days with no safety incidents or impact to the environment.
