North Spur Industrial Properties
The necessary steps to develop the property to industrial, including the environmental, heritage, geotechnical, engineering, topographical, traffic planning and landscaping studies required for zoning have already been conducted. A comprehensive development plan, with development agreements with the municipality, including integrating existing municipal infrastructure with the existing park is in the process awaiting finalizing plans in accordance with current or prospective anchor tenants. All that remains is finalizing the development plan to tailor to anchor tenants.
Work completed ready for development:
Geotechnical Assessment Suitability of the land for industrial facilities was established in a geotechnical assessment conducted by AMEC engineering. Geotechnical and groundwater level tests on the soil and found it was more than suitable foundation for even the heaviest of manufacturers.
Topographical Study the firm of George Nickolson Franko & Associates then conducted extensive legal and topographical survey plans crucial for drainage and spur line planning.
Lot Layout Planning - The firm of Crosby Hanna & Associates have been engaged in an ongoing basis in working with NSIP to develop phasing plans, rail line planning, landscape planning guidelines, conceptual drawings, and currently a comprehensive development review.
Engineering Caterall and Wright Engineering has been working with NSIP pertaining to the engineering of the project, including exceeding a 1 in 200 year drainage criteria and temporary ponding to facilitate the phased construction in a cost efficient means.
Traffic Studies MMM Group was retained to conduct a traffic study of the development in co-ordination with our planners and in consideration of the highway 11 and highway 12 overpass construction and future perimeter highway which it was also working on for the Saskatoon Planning District. This study was shared with the municipality and civic administrations for future planning including the Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth .
Saskatchewan Highways The park location has been considered in light of future overpass planning in the region's long term planning. Upgrades have currently been recently made for the turn-off into the existing industrial park for the increase in anticipated traffic. Internal existing roads are to be maintained by the RM to a heavy haul standard.
Rail Access Engineering- AECOM the Edmonton branch of AECOM engineering was retained on advice of CN rail to develop the spur line concept in collaboration with Crosby Hanna & Associates based on the technical requirements provided by CN rail for spur line construction.
Environmental Clearance AMEC Earth and Environmental conducted an environment assessment of the property and found no environmental or unique or endangered flora or fauna or concerns over habitat. Catterall and Wright have engineering effluent and drainage that meets Saskatchewan Watershed Authority criteria.
Heritage Clearance the Saskatchewan Heritage department has conducted a heritage review of the location and found no unique attributes or archeological significance that would impede development.
Fire Marshall Clearance written commentary was sought from the Fire Marshall about the capacity to provide fire protection to the industrial park. It was indicated specific industries are to seek approval at the time of their development, and that fire protection is offered to North Corman Industrial Park in the current agreement. NSIP engineers planning for hydrant supplied water for fire protection with retention pond fire protection hydrants an option.
Utilities The adjacent infrastructure of roads, power, gas, water, and electrical are all in or adjacent to the current industrial park. Each of the utilities of water, power, gas, and telephone had been contacted as part of the RMs bylaw approval process pertaining to the industrial park expansion. Saskpower and Sasktel have made recent upgrades in the area to facilitate expansion. Saskpower has provided a servicing plan for the development.
