Project Description The Craigflower Bridge has been in operation since the early colonial days of Victoria, and this recent replacement is believed to be the fourth bridge on this site. As part of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s historic Craigflower Farm, the bridge served as a transportation link between Craigflower School and Craigflower Manor, both National Historic Sites. The bridge site also has unique archaeological merit, encompassing three distinct periods and types of human habitation which span thousands of years. Herold Engineering was selected as the Prime Consultant and bridge designers for the project for [...]

Project Description The Lee’s Avenue Underpass consists of two rising, curved, trapezoidal girder lines, spanning over an 86.8m opening over Highway 417 in Ottawa. The structure was erected onto off-site temporary shoring. A concrete deck was formed & poured on the erected steel on temporary shoring. Self propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) lifted the poured structure off the temporary shoring and travelled this large structure to its final location during the allotted shut-down time. At 2100 tonnes, the bridge is the heaviest bridge to be erected by rapid replacement over a highway in North America. [...]

Project Description Key features of the Chukuni River Bridge design included: The use of a single span structure resulted in the elimination of pier construction in the water. This minimized environmental and approval impacts and also reduced the construction cost and schedule; The replacement of the bridge on the existing alignment avoided unnecessary road works, property acquisition and mitigates environmental impacts; The use of staged construction while maintaining one lane of traffic avoided the need for a temporary modular bridge and associated costs. Construction traffic was maintained in a one lane operation using temporary [...]

Innovative steel deck turns historic bridge into modern world leader While Edmonton’s Dawson Bridge has been in service for nearly 100 years, innovative technology used in its recent rehabilitation has turned it into a modern world leader. The five-span riveted steel through-truss bridge was originally built to carry electric trains to a coal mine on the east bank of the North Saskatchewan River. Later converted to carry automobiles, the bridge currently accommodates 17,000 vehicles per day along with significant pedestrian and cyclist traffic. After almost a century of use, the bridge needed significant repair [...]

The Port Mann Bridge Highway 1 project was tendered in 2007 as part of the Gateway Program in Vancouver, B.C. The project was part of the B.C. government’s program to upgrade the transportation network in the Vancouver Region in order to ease congestion on Hwy 1. The scope of the project included upgrading approximately 37 kilometres of highway, including the existing bridge crossing of the Fraser River. The project called for doubling the capacity over the river, expanding the five-lane facility to 10 lanes.Port Mann Bridge main span Canron Western Constructors LP live up to the challenges
