The Rainy River Tailings Management Area
2024-11-14 12:00 - 13:00
Date: November 14, 2024
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 PM CST
Event Format: In person presentation
Location: Saskatoon, SK
Hosting Organization: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group
Event Summary: The Rainy River Tailings Management Area (TMA) in Northern Ontario is uniquely situated above highly plastic, normally consolidated glacial clay soils of variable thickness. Since 2022, SRK has assumed the Engineer of Record (EOR) role for the Rainy River TMA. This involves annual TMA dam raise design, on-site support for construction quality control/assurance, and dam performance monitoring during and post-construction. The TMA is of zoned material construction consisting of clay core dams with chimney and blanket filters and rockfill buttressing, constructed upwards of ~30m in height. The clay foundation soils govern the design and construction of the dams. The design of the TMA requires large upstream and downstream rockfill buttressing combined with extensive monitoring to ensure continued performance is maintained. Instrumentation within the TMA foundation is extensive, including piezometers, slope inclinometers, shape arrays, settlement plates and magnetic extensometers to monitor the site. Both significant displacements (both lateral and vertical) and excess pore water pressures are observed throughout the year in response to additional loading. Monitoring of the instrumentation is a constant effort shared by the owner and EOR. The successful construction and operation of the site has benefited from continuous improvements to the monitoring and reporting system, yearly field investigations, interrogation of the most-probable and unfavourable conditions through numerical modelling, and open communication between EOR and owner/site operations.
Cost: From $15 – $25

Importance of Safety Critical Elements in Process Hazard Analysis – An APEGS Webinar
2024-11-14 12:00 - 13:00
Date: November 14, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time)
Event Format: Live Webinar
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation
Event Summary: Safety Critical Elements (SCEs) play a pivotal role in safeguarding industrial operations, particularly in high hazardous process industries such as oil and gas, nuclear, chemicals, and petrochemicals. These elements encompass equipment, systems, and controls that are essential for preventing or mitigating major accidents hazards, such as fires, explosions, and toxic releases. During Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), identifying and assessing SCEs ensures that potential risks are recognized and adequately managed by the team tasked with these responsibilities. By focusing on SCEs, organizations can prioritize resources to maintain, monitor, and improve critical safety barriers, thereby minimizing the likelihood of catastrophic failures. Identification and management of SCEs falls under many of the important elements in CSA767:2022 Process Safety Management. The integration of SCEs into PHA fosters a proactive approach to risk management, enhancing the overall safety of operations and compliance with regulatory standards. Ultimately, the recognition of SCEs underscores their vital role in preventing accidents and ensuring the protection of both personnel and the environment.
Presenters: David Asekomhe, Engineering Licensee, is a safety enthusiast and agent of change with over 20 years of experience in the oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and energy industries. With engineering and master’s degrees from the University of Manchester, he currently serves as president and board member of RskLess Inc., a minority-owned organization in Calgary dedicated to empowering future PSM engineers and executives. His career began at ExxonMobil, followed by senior roles in the UK. In 2013, he moved to Canada, advancing to VP at a process safety consulting company for over nine years. He has extensive experience in PSM and views it as a passion rather than just a job. Additionally, he contributed to developing PSM frameworks for Qatar’s largest petrochemical company.
Jamie Merriam is a Process Safety and Safety Instrumented System trainer and a registered Professional Engineer with APEGA. With over 30 years of industry experience, including 20 years dedicated to process safety issues, Jamie currently consults on technical and training matters with David Asekomhe and Rskless Inc. Jamie began his career as an instrumentation technologist from SAIT, working in construction and maintenance for about 10 years. In the early 90s, Jamie moved to the USA and earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee. After graduation, he traveled to Newfoundland, Canada, and spent 10 years working in offshore construction and maintenance on the Terra Nova FPSO. Returning to Alberta, he has since focused on Process Safety and Safety Instrumented Systems. Currently, Jamie’s work involves a combination of training and Process Safety Management (PSM) support activities, including facilitation, auditing, and development.

Date: October 29, 2024
Time: 12pm – 1pm
Event Format: Lunch Presentation
Location: South Dining Room, Park Town Hotel, 924 Spadina Crescent E, Saskatoon, SK, S7K 3H5
Hosting Organization: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group
Event Summary: Join the Saskatoon Geotechnical Group for the Cross Canada Lecture Tour, presented by Jocelyn L.Hayley, University of Calgary. Across the Canadian north, access to stable linear infrastructure networks is critical for the well-being of Northern communities and the Canadian economy. The Hudson Bay Railway, the first major transportation infrastructure built over permafrost in Canada, is now facing significant climate-driven stability and drainage issues. The Hudson Bay Railway corridor extends across icy and frost-sensitive glacio-marine deposits through the sporadic, discontinuous, and continuous permafrost zones of Northern Manitoba. After touching on its rich history during construction and operation, we introduce a
transdisciplinary multiyear project that aims to identify and characterize permafrost-related hazards along the railway corridor and investigate potential mitigation measures for improving rail stability and minimizing risk. Traveling along the Hudson Bay Railway, we will look at site investigation methods, explore ground temperatures and ice wedge formations, drainage issues, sinkhole formation and more – all with the goal to improve the resilience, sustainability, performance, and safety of Canada’s permafrost railway.

Decarbonization in the Oil & Gas Sector
2024-08-22 12:00 - 13:00
Registration is now closed.
Date: August 22, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time)
Event Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation
Event Summary: In recent years, Canada has introduced its plan for 2050 net-zero emissions goals with the aim to make the Canadian economy either emit no greenhouse gas emissions or offset these emissions. One of the methods to achieve these goals is employing technologies that can capture carbon emission before it is vented into the atmosphere. In Canada, the oil and gas sector is the highest emitting sector and adopting the decarbonization solution is not an easy task due to many reasons. However, the most pressing reasons are the lack of understanding of carbon capture technologies and the shortage of skilled engineers in this space. This webinar will provide engineers with the fundamentals to better understand the carbon capture processes with focus on those technologies, which are ready and suitable for both small and large emitting facilities.
Presenter – Walid ElMoudir, Ph.D., P.Eng., PMP
Dr. Walid ElMoudir is the Principal Process Consultant at ChemProcess Consulting & Services Ltd. and the official representative of Optimized Gas Treating, Inc.

Event Summary: An Operations Management System (OMS) plays a vital role in performing your role as an engineer and/or a geoscientist in the energy sector, whether its in oil and gas production or as a service provider. An OMS is basically a framework of elements such as leadership accountability, risk management, incident management, reliability and integrity, management of change, supply chain management, performance assessment and continuous improvement, and so on. This framework helps the industry enhance measures for process safety and remain in compliance via internal and external audits. Knowledge of an OMS will help candidates self-assess to continue what they are doing well, find out what they need to learn next and apply operational excellence in their respective functions.
