This 400-foot pedestrian overpass was built for the worlds largest biotechnology company, Amgen, and was designed to evoke the shape of a helical DNA molecule. >>
Empire Iron Works Ltd. (EIW) of Edmonton was proud to contribute steel detailing and fabrication for The Art Gallery of Alberta a fantastic $88-million, steel and glass structure consisting of 85,000 sq. ft of gallery, public and classroom space, including a 5,000 sq. ft atrium. >>
The Coast Meridian Overpass (CMO) linking north and south Port Coquitlam is a 580-metre long, 24-metre wide cable-stayed bridge crossing 60 tracks of the Canadian Pacific rail yard and four lanes of traffic on the Lougheed Highway. >>
Somerset Engineering was brought in to design and erect a replacement highline (cableway) system for the failed predecessor. The extremely challenging nature of the Hoover Dam project not only demonstrates the full potential of a construction highline, but also the critical need for proper structural and mechanical engineering. >>
High in the rugged Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, this unique 400 meter long bridge was built in the Kicking Horse Pass 90 meters above the canyon floor. It features six spans ranging from 50 to 80 meters in length. The bridge deck itself is over 23 meters wide and designed to accommodate two lanes of traffic in each direction. The superstructure consists of four main steel girders and three substringers supported on intermediate cross-frames. >>
The Whistler Nordic Centre staged several thrilling events for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games none more nerve-wracking than the spectacle of witnessing skiers fly off the 95-meter and 125-meter ski jump structures built specifically for the games. >>
