Amec Foster Wheeler is a publicly traded company providing various services in markets such as Oil & Gas, Mining, Environment & Infrastructure and Clean Energy. The purpose of this report is to investigate and analyze stratigraphic units, geotechnical properties, identify the presence of weak clay layers in the Water Management Pond (WMP) site and how failures such as cracking can occur in embankment dams. The Quaternary geology encountered at the site from the Ontario Geological Survey was Whiteshell Till, Labradorean Glaciofluvial, Whylie Formation, Whitemouth Lake Till, Brenna Formation, Poplar River Formation, and Holocene Deposit. Within the clay fill, the undrained shear strengths for WMP Dam 1 and Dam 2 indicated a range from 50 kPa
The Lynne deposit lies within the early Proterozoic Penokean fold belt of the southern province of the Precambrian Shield. The fold belt is divided into two major terranes in Wisconsin (Sims 1989). The first is the northern Penokean terrane, which contains major oxide facies iron formations and granitic intrusions (DeMatties 1989). The second major terrane, separated from the Penokean terrane by the Niagara fault zone, is the Wisconsin magmatic terrane, characterized by a volcanic island arc-basin assemblage (Sims 1989). This southern terrane lacks major oxide facies iron formations, but contains abundant tonalite-granite intrusions (DeMatties 1989). The Wisconsin magmatic terrane is further subdivided into the northern Pembine-Wausau terrane and the southern Marshfield terrane, which are separated by the Eau Pleine shear zone, a north-dipping subduction zone (Sims 1989).

MILLERSBURG — For allegedly threatening to kill the mother of his unborn child, a Big Prairie man faces a host of criminal charges.
The objective of the trip to Blount Springs, Alabama was to observe and gather data on the geological structure of the area. Blount Springs is located in the northern part of Alabama just 33 miles north of Birmingham, and lies on the southernmost part of the Appalachian fold belt. The field work began on the morning of Saturday April, 7th at 8:50am. The weather was cloudy with temperatures in the mid 40’s, and the area was wet from rain the previous night. Our materials included a map of the area, list of formations, a Brunton compass, and a Rite in the Rain field book. The procedure of the field work involved 12 stops at outcrops to gather data, one stop was omitted from the original plans. This data gathered included bedding and joint orientations
The article “Down go the dams” by Jane C.Marks aim to provide an informative view on the current pending issue on Dams. The article starts out my mentioning the important nature of dams in our society. For example, Jane C.Marks states that today about 800,000 dams operate worldwide as well as the fact that most were built in the past century, primarily after World War II. Furthermore, the author lays down informative facts about dams such as the fact that dams control flooding and their reservoirs provide a reliable supply of water for irrigation, drinking and recreation which are all very important to society. In an economic standpoint, although it is very high maintenance dams provide jobs for people. The
The structural relationship between the Wabigoon and Quetico subprovinces during deformation in Canadian rocks relevant to the study area has been discussed by Czeck and Poulsen (2010).
Sproule (in Ells, 1932) described the Keg River from outcrops along the Clearwater River, near Fort McMurray in the 1930s. Sproule described the carbonate sequence as a “thin-bedded, alternating limestone and shale, progressing to an argillaceous limestone under a massive dolostone.”
Most of the river system is located within the Canadian Shield. Roughly twenty kilometers north of Mattice, Ontario is Thunder House Falls where the river cascades off the Canadian Shield and the terrain shifts into sandy lowlands. The rock underneath yourself becomes sedimentary and covered by clays dating back thousands of years (Canoeing Ontario’s Rivers). Some rocky sites, like high ground above Reva Island on Missinaibi Lake have outliers of the Great Lakes St Lawrence Forest, old stands of 350 years old Red and White Pine (Canadian Heritage Rivers Systems). Near the southern end of the river there’s a few locations where granite is joined with very ancient volcanic rocks in places such as Devil’s Shoepack Rapids and Split Rock Falls.
Canada and especially Ontario have very interesting and much filled geologic pasts. Ontario has many types of rocks and minerals that have formed and are still forming due to the geology. Ontario has sedimentary rocks; igneous rock, and metamorphic rock as well as minerals such as gold, silver, quartz, and many more. In this paper, we will begin by talking about ten rocks that were collected right here in Windsor Ontario. The rocks were examined from the outside which tended to be weathered and the inside which were fresh.

A project conducted by professor Ian Ralston aimed to find out whether the triple outerworks are similar with well- known enclosed ‘courts’ or whether the triple system of banks and ditches being different in construction of the headland walls are
I also wanted to let you know that I connected with my friend and we would like to have JC meet a gentleman that works at Withnell Dodge and see about mentoring for JC. I think this could be very encouraging and to see if he could get excited and make some future plans. I will keep you post on the process if this is something you approve, his name is Tim Late and he is one of the managers at
Several issues arose both before the project had begun and also throughout its undertaking. These issues were however solved in a typically Swiss fashion; precisely, efficiently and effectively. The issues that were encountered on this project ranged from the geology of
