Ekati Panda Project

Equipment for the project must be exceptionally reliable and durable for the extreme operating conditions and remote site.
Equipment for the project must be hauled over the seasonally-available ice highway by Robinson's Trucking, a specialist in this type of transportation. It's a big job, and hazardous.
