Consortium Japonais pour l'Autoroute Algérienne (COJAAL)

Location :

Northern Algeria, Africa

Algeria's East-West Highway

One of the largest road construction sites in the world, this highway links the border areas of El-Tarf in the east and Tlemcen in the west. Contractors had 40 months to deliver the highway in its entirety according to the specifications of the various quality plans. We helped COJAAL reach this objective by playing a major role in quality audits and delivery (on the eastern portion of the highway) upon the project's completion. We are required to file, among other things, all required registrations (as-built file) of internal and external quality controls and as-built plans throughout construction with the Agence Nationale des Autoroutes.

Project name :

Bolsover Dam

Client :

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC)

Location :

Bolsover, ON, Canada

Bolsover Dam

Our team performed a dam assessment and recapitalization project for Lock 37 (Bolsover Dam) located on the Trent-Severn Waterway. The dam is used to regulate water levels for navigation and has been designated a Level 1 Cultural Heritage Site. The dam is a concrete gravity structure with two stop log bays, four spillways and headwalls. The assessment concluded that the dam is in a significant state of disrepair, the integrity of the structural concrete is in question and is at risk of structural failure. Operation and safety risks were also identified. A recapitalization project is ongoing to evaluate alternatives for the rehabilitation/reconstruction of the dam while maintaining the existing cultural/historical character of the site.

Charlottetown Harbour

Location :

Charlottetown, PE, Canada

Charlottetown Marine Terminal Expansion

To facilitate the berthing of cruise ships at the port of Charlottetown, a 30-m extension to the existing terminal was built, along with a 185-m ell that was added using reinforced concrete cribs. We provided complete planning and engineering services for the project, conducted a structural evaluation of existing facilities, carried out marine structure options analyses including concrete cribs, concrete crib and span and combination HZ steel sheet piling. Along with preparing design criteria, concept designs, preliminary and detailed designs, drawings and contract documents and cost estimates, we also provided tender phase services as well as construction phase services, including inspection.

Coeur-Campus Park

Client :

University of Sherbrooke

Location :

Sherbrooke, QC, Canada

Coeur-Campus Park

Sherbrooke University eliminated 150 parking spots in the heart of its main campus and created a lush oasis to provide a better environment for its students. The goal was to create a vast green space in the heart of the University campus and our landscape architecture and urban infrastructure teams eagerly took up the challenge. Our team designed the Coeur-Campus Park so that runoff from parking lots and roofs could be efficiently used and treated. In addition to storm water storage ponds, the development includes a new 17,500 m2 natural green space with over one hundred indigenous trees and shrubs. The new "Coeur-Campus Park" now replaces what used to be a large parking lot and has quickly become a very popular meeting place for students and
staff alike.

Fredericton, NB, Canada

E. John Bliss Water Treatment Plant

This plant represents one of the largest single water and sewer construction project undertaken by the City of Fredericton. The plant is situated on previously developed land that is part of the St. Anne Point Heritage Preservation Area and the architectural design uses scale, material, and detailing to complement the heritage character of the district. The building is distinguished as a civic landmark at the gateway to the city. We provided; programming, heritage planning, public consultation, conceptual design, architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical design services, cost estimating, contract administration, commissioning, testing and training.

East Village Redevelopment

Client :

Calgary Municipal Land Corporation

Location :

Calgary, AB, Canada

East Village Redevelopment

Originally developed in the 1800s, the East Village of downtown Calgary had been neglected since World War I. To transform the area into a vibrant, new community meant the 100-year-old infrastructure had to be upgraded for new residential and commercial development. Plans for the unique and sustainable community include the construction of a storm water wetland to remove sediment from the existing urban catchment area, integration of open spaces including the riverfront, Fort Calgary, and two new park areas, pedestrian-friendly streets, and preservation of historical buildings. Services provided include project management, preliminary engineering and design, construction and post-construction services, storm water and landscape architecture.

Patrick-Hackett Bridge

Client :

City of Granby

Location :

Granby, QC, Canada

Patrick-Hackett Bridge

One of the largest reconstruction sites in the city's recent history, the Patrick-Hackett Bridge is the main access into Granby's downtown core. To accommodate growing traffic volume, the project involved three components; widening the bridge, redesigning the approaches and improving transportation and traffic metrics. The design was to include sidewalks on both sides of the bridge, overhanging lookouts, street lights and furniture to match those in the downtown area. Our environment, urban infrastructure, civil engineering, transportation, electrical and landscape architecture teams all contributed to the project's success. Services included; front-end engineering and design, structural, highway and municipal engineering bid documents, on-site monitoring of bridge widening and approach construction work.

Shawinigan Dam Complex

Client :

Hydro-Québec

Location :

Shawinigan, QC, Canada

Shawinigan Dam Complex

Due to the age of these facilities (originally commissioned in 1914), Hydro-Québec decided to upgrade the plants. The complex has a total of 11 turbine-alternator groups, and our team was contracted to conduct preliminary design and provide detail engineering services covering most aspects of the plants. This included design and production of drawings and specs for the supply, installation and construction of equipment and systems, managing engineering works and coordination with sub-contractors and between different specialties and manufacturers.

Project name :

Water Filtration Plant Expansion

Client :

City of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield

Location :

Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC, Canada

Water Filtration Plant Expansion

The goal was to increase this existing plant's capacity with the addition of two filters and improve water quality with an ozonation system. A 7,000 m³ concrete storage tank was also built and connected to the existing storage tank, which meant that part of an existing building had to be demolished and the wall re-closed. Our team also managed the disposal of C+ level contaminated materials before landscaping and a terrace were developed over part of the storage tank. Services include; identification of current and future water demand, development of a program to reduce unaccounted-for water, development of the preliminary technical solution, specifications, financial feasibility study, designing the filtration plant and water intake and construction management, monitoring and commissioning.
