The winner of the 2013 Award of Excellence in TECHNICAL Innovation was awarded to AECOM for their submission of Replacement and Widening of the Steinhauer Bridge Superstructure The replacement and widening of the Steinhauer Bridge superstructure over the Athabasca River is a key component of the Highway 63 upgrading scheme through Fort McMurray to increase traffic flow and improve user safety.An innovative method of construction was developed that eliminated the need to work in the river. This has had significant environmental, cost and schedule benefits, and has allowed work to progress continuously with reduced construction-related risk. Construction utilizes portions of the existing and new superstructure as working platforms in a phased approach. In Stage 1, the upstream side of the existing superstructure was used as a working platform to rebuild the downstream side of the bridge. In Stage 2, the new downstream side of the bridge is currently being used as a working platform to complete the work. The pier caps of this 7-span, 473m long bridge were also reconstructed off the working platforms. Project Team Members: |

The winner of the 2013 Award of Excellence in TECHNICAL Innovation was awarded to Alberta Transportation and AMEC Environment & Infrastructure for their project Travers Dam Abandoned Diversion Conduit Compaction Grouting Infill Program Travers Dam is an important irrigation and water supply earthfill dam in southern Alberta. Compaction grouting, a technique typically used to add support to problem foundations, raise sunken structures or provide in situ compaction to soils, was adopted to successfully infill the Abandoned Diversion Conduit (ADC) while displacing/compacting the soft sediment at the bottom of the ADC and, importantly, to add a filter material to a critical location in the dam structure in order to mitigate the risk of internal erosion. |
