Surface drainage upgrades at the Inuvik Aiport. The project will involve constructing new drainage ditches and culverts within the airport property which includes the runway, taxiways, and the natural areas to the east and west of the airport within Commissioner’s land under reserve by the Inuvik Airport within property boundaries held by GNWT–Department of Lands. The purpose of the drainage design is to prevent surface water from ponding around the runway and minimize further permafrost degradation in order to stabilize the runway, embankments, and vertical infrastructure (i.e., buildings).
