  • Chapter Eight
    LEVERAGING INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION 87 CHAPTER EIGHT THE CANADA LINE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT Roger Woodhead Technical Director, Canada Line Rapid Transit Project, Canada Abstract The Canada Line Rapid Transit Project being a Public Private Partnership largely under the control of one company, SNC Lavalin Inc., has provided an ideal environment for fostering innovation. This paper describes the project, discusses the organization and presents many examples of innovation. 1 Introduction Construction on Canada Line, a new 18.5 km rapid transit system that connects Downtown Vancouver with Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Richmond City Centre, started in late 2005. Full transit service will commence on or before November 2009, in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. The $2 billion project is a public-private partnership between various levels of government and InTransitBC, the private sector concessionaire. SNC Lavalin Inc. (SLI) under an EPC Contract with the Concessionaire is responsible for all design, procurement and construction. The alignment which is shown in Figure 1 travels from south to north from near Richmond Centre (Brighouse), along Number 3 Road to Bridgeport Station. From here the alignment splits in two. One segment travels westbound over the Middle Arm of the Fraser River and parallels Grant McConachie Way to a terminus at YVR 88 LEVERAGING INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION Airport Station. The second segment crosses over the North Arm of the Fraser River to the City of Vancouver. The alignment is elevated over Marine Drive and enters a tunnel portal at 63rd Avenue. The alignment then continues in a tunnel under the northbound lanes of Cambie Street until it reaches Olympic Village Station.

  • Design of Templeton Overpass for the Canada Line
    DESIGN OF TEMPLETON OVERPASS FOR THE CANADA LINE Yulin Gao, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., SNC-Lavalin Inc. Samson Chan, M.Eng.,P.Eng., SNC-Lavain Inc. Roger Woodhead, PhD, P.Eng., SNC-Lavain Inc. Paper prepared for presentation at the Bridges in a Climate of Change Session of the 2009 Annual Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Vancouver, British Columbia October 18 - 21, 2009 Design of Templeton Overpass for the Canada Line ABSTRACT The Canada Line is a 19 km rapid transit line connecting Downtown Vancouver with Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The airport section of the Canada Line includes a 1.8 km at-grade guideway. The at-grade guideway is designed to accommodate future airplane taxi way requirements in accordance with YVR’s future plan. Templeton Street is a major road servicing YVR and connects the North Service Road with Grant McConachie Way. It plays an important role in YVR’s transportation planning; a bus route and a bicycle route are also included in the Templeton Street design. And it crosses the existing Templeton Street at about 100 meters west of Templeton Station. A grade separated structure is required to allow the train to travel at-grade and vehicular traffic to cross over the Canada Line uninterrupted. After comparing various design and construction options for the overpass, the decision was made to design a 60 m long cast-in-place concrete box structure with approach ramps. This paper presents various options considered for the overpass, the preliminary design and detailed design of the overpass structures.

  • The Canada Line (Rav)
    OttawaGeo2007/OttawaGéo2007 SEISMIC DESIGN OF MODIFIED EXPANDED-BASE PILE GROUPS – THE CANADA LINE (RAV) Ali Azizian and Keith E. Robinson EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd., Vancouver, BC, Canada ABSTRACT A state-of-the-art methodology was applied to the seismic design of pile group foundations for the Richmond-Airport- Vancouver (RAV) Rapid Transit Project, the Canada Line. The Richmond and Airport sections consist of elevated guideways founded on potentially liquefiable sand and compressible silt zones. The design philosophy was based on selecting a foundation system that met both the deformation criteria and flexibility demands under the design earthquake. Modified expanded-base piles with permanent steel casing were selected after a comprehensive review of a number of other options. A series of advanced numerical analyses using FLAC integrated with the UBCSAND constitutive model were completed. These dynamic analyses provide a better representation of the seismic performance of pile foundations compared to standard approaches. The selected option had a significant advantage in terms of construction costs, schedule and property issues. RÉSUMÉ Une approche utilisant les technologies de pointe a été retenue pour la conception sismique des fondations sur pieux de la ligne de transport urbain sur rail « Canada Line » faisant partie du projet « Richmond-Airport-Vancouver (RAV) Rapid Transit Project ». Sur cette ligne, les voies situées à Richmond et celles donnant accès à l’aéroport sont portées par des structures aériennes fondées sur du sable potentiellement liquéfiable et des zones de silt compressible. L’approche conceptuelle des fondations de ces structures visait à mettre au point une type de fondation respectant à la fois les exigences de déformation et de capacité imposées par les charges du séisme de conception.

    ISSN 0382·2141 PUBLISHED BY THE BRITI H COLUMBIA MI ISTR OF TRANSPORTATION AND HIGHWAYS FALL 1981 VOLUME 18, NUMBER 3 MINISTRY EMPLOYEES TAKE TO THE AIR Eyebrows go up when Garth Shea ring talks abo ut getting 45 miles to the gallon and cruis ing at a speed of 175 miles per hour. Just what does the guy drive? A supe r, souped-up Volkswagen or what? Actually, Gar th, communications eng ineer with our Ministry in Victoria, doesn't dri ve this particular mac hine - he flies it. Garth's one of a growing number of Ministry employees who enjoys flying as a hobby and every chance he gets, he's up there in a snappy little two­ seater that's his pride and joy. He's joined in his love for flying by at least two other Ministry employees. (there may well be more but we haven't tracked them down) in Mike Creasy, air operations officer with the Air Transport Assistance Program, and Lou Hansen, stock­ man with the communications branch in Clov erdale. Garth, who got his pilot's licence in 1964, has an aircraft that draws double-takes, even from veteran fliers . His VariEze, designed by Burt Rutan, of Mojave , Calif., was bu ilt over a two-year per iod at a cost of around $7,000 - cheap when you consider that a Cessna 150 will set a buyer back about $25 ,000. While its configuration is unusual compared to traditional aircraft design, Garth says it's an efficient and tremendously safe plane to fly.
