Transfer Station Electric Fencing & Gate Replacement, Jasper National Park

Requirement:

The work includes removal of identified portions of existing fencing, replacing with new wire mesh fencing, burrow protection and electrical wire animal protection.  Work will also include replacement of existing access gates.

The Jasper Transfer Station located 5km east of the Town of Jasper currently has an electrified fence surrounding the working area. This existing fencing was installed in 1989 and is approx. 1400 metres in length. The existing fencing is both electrified and has burrow protection chain link material on concrete pad extending outwards from the fence for approx. 1.2 metres. This fencing has proven to be very effective in keeping bears, wolfs and coyotes from entering the grounds of the Transfer Station.

This project will remove 791.2m of existing fencing and associated materials in the smaller footprint area and installation of 943.4m of new wire mesh fencing, 3 electrical wires, 3 angled barbed wire on top of fencing, swing gate and sliding front entrance gate.
