(KCB) is an interna onal engineering, geoscience and environmental consul ng fi rm with its head offi ce in Vancouver and 9 offi ces in strategic loca ons in Canada, Peru, Australia and the UK. We have a strong reputa on for quality service and technical excellence in a range of services including: Mining, Environmental, Water, Power, Transporta on, and Oil and Gas. Since forming in 1951, we have a long history of par cipa on in local projects, as well as a strong interna onal reputa on. We are working on some of the largest, most challenging engineering projects, both na onally and interna focus is the integra on of the environment into engineering and social plans to build successful, sustainable projects.

4 We minimize environmental eff ects and op mize opportuni es to mi gate the environmental footprint of the project and maximize social benefi ts. Our environmental teams include specialists in: aqua c and terrestrial biology, geochemistry, limnology, meteorology, hydrology and groundwater, socio-economists, and project and program managers. We work with local environmental consultants and retain na onal and interna onal experts to develop teams that work for the client, the community and the environment professionals have extensive experience in working with our engineers for the successful integra on of environment and engineering for power, water resources, transporta on, mining, oil Sands , and oil and gas our offi ces in Calgary, Edmontonand Saskatoon, KCB s Alberta Group works on challenging projects in the oil Sands developments, onshore and off shore oil and gas industry , tradi onal mining, infrastructure and water resources markets.

Our team of engineers and geoscien sts have a broad range of analy cal, design and construc on experience on a variety of projects in Canada and on EngineeringWe have provided founda on engineering for a broad range of projects and soil condi ons.

6 KCB has designed founda ons for pulp and paper mills, refi nery sites, oil Sands plants, off shore structures, mine facili es, cogenera on facili es, sewage treatment plants, buildings and industrial EngineeringWe have the capacity to provide for all your embankment needs including; embankment design, slope stability assessments, seepage and se lement analyses, reservoir stability assessments, dam safety studies, construc on management and inspec EngineeringKCB has carried out regional assessments of seismic hazards. We can provide designs for slope stabiliza on works and founda ons in high hazard seismic areas taking into considera on dynamic stability and deforma on Inves ga ons, Instrumenta on, and MonitoringKCB has completed thousands of site inves ga ons for geotechnical and environmental engineering projects involving soil sampling, rock coring and groundwater monitoring. KCB has installed and monitored various types of instruments including slope indicators, geotechnical gauges, pressure sensors, and survey on SupportOur fi eld assignments have involved the construc on management and inspec on of bridges, pulp mills, dams, canals and hydraulic Tes ngOur laboratory can perform standard soils tes ng including moisture content, grain size, permeability, A erberg limits, specifi c gravity / rela ve densi es, standard Proctor compac on tests / modifi ed Proctor tests, direct shear tests, triaxial and consolida on ModellingKCB rou nely uses numerical modelling capabili es to help fi nd innova ve solu ons to complex geotechnical engineering problems.

7 In recent years, we used both 2D and 3D stress-deforma on analyses to facilitate greater in-depth assessments of the stability of major dams. KCB is also doing pioneering work in applying numerical modelling techniques to evaluate sta c liquefac on triggering, which is an important component for assessing the liquefac on poten al of materials that are considered suscep ble to liquefac SOIL ENGINEERING AND DESIGNGEOTECHNICALA lameda DamThe Alameda Dam experienced founda on deforma ons during construc on, which con nued at a reducing rate a er construc on was completed in 1995. The project is being carried out in fi ve phases. Phase 1 involved an assessment of the dam s stability to assist in developing near-term reservoir opera ng criteria for 2012. Phases 2 to 5 involve site inves ga ons, assessments of the founda on deforma ons and the development of remedial measures that may be required to maintain the long term safe opera on of the dam and its appurtenant structures, and evalua ng spillway upgrades including incorpora on of an auxiliary spillway.

8 Morrison Dam and SpillwayMorrison Dam is an 1830 m long, 17 m high earthfi ll dam situated on the East Poplar River approximately 4 km north of the Canada USA border. The dam creates Cookson Reservoir which stores about 41000 m3 of water and has a surface area of 680 ha at its full supply level. KCB was the prime consultant responsible for performing the annual inspec on of the dam, structures and instrumenta on, and comple ng the performance evalua on of the seepage monitoring Dam Safety ReviewThe Boundary Dam and service spillway are located adjacent one of the SaskPower thermal power sta ons that provide much of the base load electricity for Saskatchewan. The dam was widened from a crest width of approximately 12 m to 25 m in 1998 to facilitate coal handling and truck hauling across the dam crest. The reinforced concrete spillway consists of a 42 m wide, gated, ogee-crest control sec on, parallel walled, 220 m long spillway chute with 5 steel radial gates.

9 A major rehabilita on of the service spillway was carried out in 2008-2010 to replace the majority of service spillway structure with the excep on of the headworks and gate system. The ini al dam safety review was carried out in 2005 based on the 1999 CDA dam safety guidelines. KCB was contracted in 2010 to carry out the second dam safety review based on the updated 2007 CDA Falls Hydro DevelopmentThe main dam has a maximum height of 24 m and creates a reservoir with approximately million m3 of storage, while the reservoir created by the m high Whitesand Dam has million m3 of storage. KCB is the prime consultant responsible for performing the dam safety inspec on and review of the concrete and earth dams, powerhouse, and spillways, and analyzing of instrumenta on Slope / Rock Shed Slide Protec on for CN Rail KCB designed an 80 m long rock shed for CN Rail. KCB s modular rock shed design allows for construc on under railway traffi c.

10 Our fi ve phase methodology included; i) characteriza on of rock slope hazards using LiDAR and fi eld mapping, ii) dynamic rock fall and stability analyses for conceptual design, iii) detailed structural design of rock shed, iv) preparing tender package and providing fi eld services for installa on of rockfall catchnet to protect work area, and v) QA/QC fi eld services during construc on.
