Enbridge Lifesaving Rules
• Each Lifesaving Rule
focuses on an area of
high risk and
consequence
• The rules are intended
to heighten awareness
![Page 4: Great Lakes Tunnel Project](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042405/625dd42de3389e41371f2f17/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Life Saving Rule #1: Hazard Management
I will complete a hazard assessment prior to starting work and
reassess if conditions change and new hazards are introduced.
• The assessment is meant to identify, assess and control the field-based hazards of
the work being performed
• Examples of questions to be addressed:
• Have we identified hazards today? Is it documented?
• Did everyone on the crew have an opportunity to provide input?
• Have results from the assessments been communicated to all workers?
• Do we have effective controls in place and are they in compliance to the
Enbridge Safety Manual, local legislation and the Contractors Program?

• Deeper-than-expected buried valley
• Open voids (karst)
• Toxic/combustible gases
• Variable ground conditions
• Some fractured, more permeable zones
• Claystones in Point Aux Chenes - weak rock, slaking
• Borings most closely spaced in deep channel
– Increased confidence in top of rock elevation
Geotechnical EvaluationLow Likelihood Conditions Known Rock Conditions Sufficient Geotechnical Data
Not anticipated – but if they occur
can be managed with some
adaptations during tunneling
Rock parameters influence
cutting tool wear and tunneling
progress rates.
Managed with the specified TBM and construction methods
Geologic understanding and
subsurface data provides a
sufficient basis for tunnel design
and state-of-the-practice

Understanding of the geotechnical conditions shaped the design approach

The shield of the TBM prevents water, soil and rock
from entering the tunnel during construction
The concrete segments are assembled into a water-
tight lining inside the shield; under the protection of
the shield. No water, soil or rock enters the tunnel
during construction
As the shield advances during tunneling three seals
prevent water from leaking inside the TBM

Tunnel Grouting
• As the TBM advances, it pushes forward off the lining and simultaneously fills the void behind the lining with grout
