HLFN selected M2 Engineering, a team of two water treatment consulting engineers to help provide a safe, secure water supply. The City of Calgary replaced the aging St. George’s Island Bridge over the environmentally sensitive Bow River. There are places on the bridge to linger and watch the river go by. Thank you to the nearby communities and users of the trail and bridges for providing feedback and being patient during construction. The Consulting Engineers of Alberta (CEA) presented 12 awards of excellence and 14 awards of merit at its 24th annual showcase gala at the Edmonton Convention Centre. Mill Creek Ravine is an important urban park and key component of the City of Edmonton’s ecological and transportation network. Delete this bracket before posting). The Mill Creek Pedestrian bridges officially opened on June 22, 2018 a full four months ahead of the proposed schedule and within budget. The project was completed in parallel with many others in the tight confines of the island, with the team working to mitigate impacts to communities and Zoo operations, while finishing in time for the Pandas to arrive. The structure’s arched and haunched profile improved local flood resiliency while widened vehicle lanes and a multi-use pathway upgraded safety for all modes. An unconventional mitigation system was chosen, using a sheet pile cofferdam wall, watertight barrier and pumping system.

ISL was retained in 2016 to complete a condition assessment and recommend design options for the five bridges that are part of this segment of the trail system: three historic trestle bridges and two smaller single-span bridges. The new Walterdale Bridge is a gracious, single span arch – a functional, signature structure that blends with its natural setting and creates a landmark gateway to the City’s downtown. The categories ranged from engineering, to community and environmental, to software design, project management and infrastructure. The bridges initially connected the railway that ran between Edmonton and Calgary and was the first link across the North Saskatchewan River. As Prime Consultant, Jacobs’ innovative design reduced potential environmental impacts during construction using full-depth, full-width precast concrete deck panels and ultra high-performance concrete connections instead of a cast-in-place deck. https://www.cea.ca/events/showcaseawards/ceashowcaseawards/showcase-award-winners2020.html, © 2020 Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd.

Kerr Wood Leidal Associates received the Award of Excellence and the Award of Merit for its Bow River Bioengineering Demonstration and Education Project at 2020 Consulting Engineers of Alberta Awards gala, held on February 21, in Edmonton, AB. On February 21, 2020 the Consulting Engineers of Alberta (CEA) awarded ISL with the Award of Merit in the Transportation Structures category for our work on the Mill Creek Ravine Pedestrian Bridges Rehabilitation Project. The result, Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre, is a testament to Red Deer College’s vision and Stantec’s integrated design philosophy—a remarkable accomplishment of engineering and architectural teamwork. The completed WWTP is now sized for a maximum flow rate of 100,000 m3/d. The 2019 Canada Games needed a competition ready venue, and Red Deer College recognized the opportunity to meet their needs while building a legacy for the community. Designed and constructed through the use of a collaborative and integrated process, this steel and concrete framed building features innovative, sustainable and adaptable structural, mechanical and electrical systems. The two remaining sites had terrain and space constraints that required innovative designs using alternative fill materials.
