<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe materials used in the bridge, including stainless steel girder caps, bike rails, and flashing, align with The City\u2019s vision for sustainable development and coincide with the public interest in protecting the environment and fighting climate change. The new bridge\u2019s abutments and the banks upstream and downstream of the bridge were protected from erosion concerns through a combination of bioengineering and riprap bank protection solutions. The bridge has a \u2018natural stone’ finish concrete form lined block retaining wing walls and granite stone bridge curbs that add to the structure’s aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We presented the details of this bridge, including the bridge’s structural system, design innovations, and aesthetic design features, at the CSCE 2021 Annual Conference virtually in May 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sustainability is one of our core values. Backed by empowered teams, we implement best practices in corporate operations and solutions to address environmental risk and minimize our carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>About The Author<\/h5>Peter Phillips, Design Project Manager, has seventeen years of experience in the field of civil engineering. His work has involved detailed structural design for bridges (road, pedestrian, and rail), onsite structural evaluations\/inspections, and bridge project management. He is proficient at managing multiple projects at once while maintaining a high attention to detail on each project. He has been involved in about 20 pedestrian bridge design, review, and management projects, such as Elbow River Bridges, Laycock Park Bridge, Jaipur Bridge, Bertram Bridge, etc.<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>About The Author<\/h5>Abul Rafiquzzaman, Engineering Services During Construction Manager, has experience in structural analysis and bridges design, including steel and concrete structures and tunnels in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Manitoba. Currently, he is the lead design engineer for several highway bridges for the Southwest Calgary Ring Road project. In addition, Abul has designed several pedestrian overpasses for the City of Calgary, and he was the independent design reviewer of several bridges as part of the Southeast Calgary Ring Road in Alberta, Circle Drive in Saskatchewan, and Center Port Canada Way in Manitoba.<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
