The Challenge
The Cold Lake Fish Hatchery Upgrades & Expansion project required facility improvements and capacity expansion to support fish production operations. Key project oversight challenges included:
- Specialized facility requirements for fish hatchery operations (water quality, temperature control, life support systems)
- Mechanical and process systems requiring precise installation and performance verification
- Quality control and inspection to ensure systems would perform reliably for sensitive aquaculture operations
- Invoice verification to ensure contractor billing accurately reflected work completed and materials supplied
- Coordination with hatchery operations to minimize disruption to fish production
- Independent verification to protect owner interests and ensure contractor accountability
The owner needed experienced inspection services and invoice verification to ensure quality installation and accurate contractor billing.
