Triple Point Resources advances environmental planning for the Fischells Salt Dome Project
Triple Point Resources Ltd. is advancing environmental planning for the Fischells Salt Dome project on the province’s west coast, as the company prepares for project registration and the next phase of regulatory review.
As part of this work, Triple Point is collaborating with ICI Innovations Inc., a St. John’s-based software and professional support services company. Its Real-Time Innovation and Visualization Access Software (RIVAS) system for project information management is central to environmental planning for the project and supported by ICI Innovations’ experienced team of developers, scientists and practitioners. The system will promote transparency, improve understanding of project context and support informed engagement with regulators, Indigenous groups, communities and stakeholders.
ICI Innovations is compiling public and private biological, geophysical and engineering information, alongside local knowledge gathered through Triple Point’s community meetings and regional discussions. Integrating this project information within RIVAS makes complex information accessible and supports clearer communication throughout the environmental assessment process.
“Getting environmental assessment right starts long before registration. We have been engaging for a long time with communities, Indigenous groups and regional stakeholders and we take that responsibility seriously,” said Julie Lemieux, CEO of Triple Point Resources. “ICI Innovations’ expertise in environmental assessment and data visualization will help ensure that our planning process is transparent, informed and grounded in both science and community input. We can identify issues early, design smarter and move the Fischells project forward responsibly as we work to position the region and Canada, as a leader in clean energy storage.”
Triple Point has completed extensive technical and engineering studies to evaluate the potential of the Fischells Salt Dome as a large-scale underground energy storage asset. This work, together with environmental planning and community engagement, will support preparation of the project registration and inform the environmental assessment process.
Triple Point expects to initiate the provincial environmental assessment process with submission of its project registration in the first half of 2026.
