Nō tata nei, i arotakehia e te kamupene keri onepu hinu matua a Syncrude tana whakawhiti mai i te wira peere ki te keri taraka me te koko i te mutunga o te tekau tau atu i 1990. "Ngā taraka nui me ngā koko - ina whakaarohia te keri i Syncrude i ēnei rā, koinei tonu ngā mea e puta ake ana ki te hinengaro. Heoi, ki te titiro whakamuri ki te 20 tau ki muri, he nui ake ngā kaikeri a Syncrude. Tata ki te 30 mita te teitei o ngā mīhini keri wira peere a Syncrude i runga ake i te whenua. I te 120 mita te roa (he roa ake i te papa whutupaoro), koinei te whakatipuranga tuatahi o ngā taputapu onepu hinu, ā, i whakanuia hei tangata nunui i roto i te umanga keri. I te 11 o Poutū-te-rangi, 1999, ko te Nama 2Kaiwhakahoki Wira Pāketei retia, koia te tīmatanga o te umanga keri i Syncrude kua rerekē."
Ka keria e ngā raina tōia ngā onepu hinu ka whakatakotoria ki roto i ngā puranga i te mata o te maina i mua i te whakaurunga o te mahi keri i Syncrude ki ngā mahi taraka me te forklift. Kātahi ka keria e ngā mīhini whakahoki hinu ngā onepu hinu mai i ēnei puranga ka whakatakotoria ki runga i te pūnaha kawe e arahi ana ki ngā putea maka me te tipu tango. "I whakamahia te mīhini whakahoki hinu 2 i te papaanga i Mildred Lake mai i te tau 1978 ki te 1999, ā, ko te tuatahi o ngā mīhini whakahoki hinu e whā i Syncrude. I hangaia motuhaketia e Krupp me O&K i Tiamana, ā, i hangaia mō te mahi i runga i tō mātou papaanga. Hei tāpiri, i keria e te Nama 2 neke atu i te 1 tana mita o te onepu hinu i roto i te wiki kotahi, ā, neke atu i te 460 tana mita i roto i tōna oranga."
Ahakoa kua kitea te ahunga whakamua nui o ngā mahi keri a Syncrude i roto i te whakamahinga o ngā raina tō me ngā wira peere, nā te whakawhiti ki ngā taraka me ngā koko kua pai ake te nekeneke me te whakaiti i ngā utu e pā ana ki ēnei taputapu nui ake. "He maha ngā wāhanga miihini hei whakahaere i te wira peere, me te pūnaha kawe e haere tahi ana me ia e kawe ana i ngā onepu hinu maroke ki te tangohanga. Ka hangaia he wero anō mō te tiaki taputapu nā te mea ina whakahekehia te wira peere, te kawe rānei e pā ana ki a ia, ka ngaro i a mātou te 25% o ā mātou mahi whakaputa," te kī a Scott Upshall, te kaiwhakahaere keri o Mildred Lake. "Ka whai hua anō hoki ngā āheinga whiriwhiri ake a Syncrude ki te keri i ngā huringa o ngā taputapu keri. Ka mahi ngā taraka me ngā koko i runga i ngā wāhi iti ake, e āwhina ana ki te whakahaere pai ake i te whakaranu i te wā tangohanga. Pērā i ā mātou taputapu keri o mua, ko te tauine nui o te ao, kāore i taea i te 20 tau ki muri."
