Purpose
The Hamlet of Arviat, Nunavut is situated on continuous permafrost and is highly susceptible to permafrost degradation due to global climate change, which threatens the infrastructure in northern Indigenous communities. The Arviat Air Terminal Building (ATB), which provides essential services to the aerodrome in this fly-in only community, is currently in poor condition and deteriorating as a result of permafrost degradation. As the ATB was initially built for permafrost ground conditions, in the last 30 years, the building has experienced permafrost thawing and subsequent ground shifting which has enhanced the deterioration of the structure’s foundation.
