Southern Alberta Longview bridge repair
HWY 40 over HWY 1: Concrete Repairs
This project included the rehabilitation of a major crossing over HWY 1 with a deck area of 630 square meters. Highway 40 has average weekend traffic volumes of 2,834 vehicles per day with Highway 1 seeing nearly 30,000 vehicles per day. Almost 50 specific bid items were identified by Alberta Transportation’s representative, and the resulting product will extend the life of the structure significantly.
HWY 547 over the Bow River: Strip-deck Replacement
VSH replaced the timber sub-deck, and strip-deck on the existing trusses with a total length of 160 meters. The whole area repaired was approximately 640 square meters with a total timber weight of approximately 70 tonnes.
Bridge Construction
Laycock Park pedestrian bridge, Calgary
Laycock Park: Pedestrian Bridge
The Laycock Park pedestrian bridge re-connects Calgary’s north-to-south regional pathway. It also creates neighbourhood access after damage was sustained to the existing structure from the 2013 Flood. The main beams are made of Alaskan Yellow Cedar spanning 37 meters over West Nose Creek and are some of the largest in Canada.
Lasthill Creek bridge girder installation
Lasthill Creek: Bridge Construction
The existing three-span bridge was at the end of it’s service life. VSH was contracted to remove the existing structure, and construct a single-span bridge with driven steel piles, cast-in-place concrete elements throughout, 20.0 m long precast concrete girders, and an asphalt wearing surface. This structure provides a critical connection for the farming community in the area, and will be in service for multiple generations.

St. Mary River Irrigation District: Drop 1 Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation of the St. Mary River Irrigation District’s Drop 1 Structure on the main canal reach included replacement of the upper concrete slab. 17 tonnes of reinforcing steel, and 400 tonnes of new concrete were installed in the area during winter construction conditions.
Alberta Infrastructure: Travers Outlet Construction
This project included construction of a three-cell, cast-in-place outlet structure with custom fabricated bulkheads. We used nearly 100 tonnes of reinforcing steel, and 2,700 tonnes of concrete to complete this contract successfully.
