Two years later, the road above the culvert required widening to create a new passing lane and improve traffic flow. The existing Tunnel Liner Plate was extended to accommodate the wider road. VIEW PROJECT Armtec Provides Alternative Solution to Storm Sewer Tender Springdale, NL Product: UltraFlo Corrugated Steel Pipe In late November, as the construction season was winding down, a large tender was called for the small municipality of Springdale in Central Newfoundland. The town's storm sewer system required the addition of 590m of 1,050m diameter pipe. The original specification called for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. With limited supplies and a tight construction window, an alternative product was required. VIEW PROJECT Parkdale Creek BC Stream Crossing Parkdale Connector Lanford, BC Product: Bridge Plate The Westhills lands encompass 209 hectares of rolling sloped lands, knolls, and rocky outcroppings, and are located in the City of Langford, British Columbia. At Westhills, sustainability equates to environmental stewardship—it is the result of a careful assessment of every decision and action they take that relates to the land, water and air. A 12mm span x 5.9mm rise Bridge Plate arch structure was selected for this water crossing. It delivered both cost savings and fit into the developer's vision of environmental stewardship. VIEW PROJECT Shamrock Lake Tunnel Liner Plate Shamrock Lake ON Product: Tunnel Liner Plate A concrete box culvert located beneath Highway 11 near Shamrock Lake, about 31.5 km North of Nipigon was in critical condition. Constructed in 1938, the existing box culvert was quickly eroding and crumbling. Concrete patching and crack repair alone would not restore the integrity of the culvert and it was only a matter of time before the highway would require closing for repair. Located under 16.3m of cover and servicing a critical spawning habitat for Brook Trout, a trenchless solution was preferred over full replacement. Armtec proposed rehabilitation of the existing structure using Tunnel Liner Plate. VIEW PROJECT St. John's International Airport Bin Wall St. John's, NL Product: Bin Wall St. John’s International Airport services approximately 1.5 million passengers per year connecting Newfoundland and Labrador to the rest of the world.

Included in the plan was the construction of a bin-type retaining wall system to support a new parking area. VIEW PROJECT Pinkerton Tunnel Rehabilitation Southwestern Pennsylvania, USA Product: Bridge Plate The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) is one of the most picturesque converted rail-trails east of the Mississippi River. Connecting Washington D.C. to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this multi-use trail is enjoyed daily by bikers and hikers as it twists its way through the Appalachian Mountains. Near the town of Somerset, the busy trail took an abrupt turn to detour around the historic Pinkerton Rail Tunnel. The tunnel, originally built in 1911 to connect the former Western Maryland Rail-line to the bustling Pittsburgh region, was closed since the GAP trail opened in 1999. Much of the tunnel interior had cracked and spalled concrete walls and in some areas the roof had collapsed leaving large holes in the ceiling. In the fall of 2014, engineering consultants Gannett Fleming contacted Armtec for assistance to rehabilitate the 270m long concrete tunnel and eliminate the 2.5km detour around the failing structure. VIEW PROJECT Bridge-In-a-Box for the M.D. of Smoky River, AB Falher, AB Product: Bridge-in-a-Box A section of road regularly impacted by spring flooding in the Municipal District of Smoky River, Alberta required a road grade elevation and new bridge crossing.

VIEW PROJECT Bathurst Street Reconstruction East Gwillimbury, ON Product: Bridge Plate In order to manage growing travel demands, York Region commissioned the reconstruction and reconnection of Bathurst Street from Green Lane West to Holland Landing Road in the Township of King and Town of East Gwillimbury. During the design phase, several options were evaluated by the consultant SNC Lavalin. A Bridge-Plate solution was found to provide the best life-cycle cost while satisfying the project hydraulic, structural performance and design service life requirements. Two structures were required to span dry channel crossings for the passage of wildlife and a third middle crossing was required to span a stream channel. The Region incorporated three Bridge-Plate arch structures into their design to construct a road overpass over each of the three crossings in this area. VIEW PROJECT Buffalo Creek Arras, BC Product: Bridge Plate During the summer of 2011, a 3,000mm circular pipe was washed out six kilometers west of Highway 52 on the 206 Road at Buffalo Creek during the historic flooding that hit the British Columbia Peace Region. The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation was tasked with replacing a washed out drainage culvert and ensuring it would have sufficient hydraulic capacity for future floods. A new drainage structure was required to replace the washed out culvert. In order to deliver the project in a speedy and cost-effective manner, the government tendered the project as a Design-Build. DWB Consulting, with Armtec’s support, prepared a preliminary package for a steel pile supported 6,500mm span x 3,681mm rise Bridge Plate arch with Armtec’s Wire Mesh Wall system. Belvedere Contracting was the successful bidder on the project.
