A Demonstration with a Gold Medal Performance
20 A Demonstration with a Vancouver Olympic Streetcar Demonstration Project Gold Medal Performance 2011 Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards Vancouver Olympic Streetcar Demonstration Project Prepared by: Hatch Mott MacDonald Two Page Description 2011 Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards NEW APPLICATION OF EXISTING TECHNIQUES/ORIGINALITY/INNOVATION In 2007, the City of Vancouver engaged Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM) to provide preliminary engineering services in support of a long-term plan to re-introduce streetcars to downtown Vancouver. The preliminary design scoped out various route and construction options, and definitively established the rail right-of-way next to the Olympic Village. While the preliminary engineering was underway, the City of Vancouver saw an opportunity to demonstrate modern streetcars during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The project’s objective thereby changed to include the detailed design, procurement, and construction management of upgrades to the 1.8 km rail corridor between Granville Island and the Canada Line’s Olympic Village Station. This section of track was re-named the ‘Olympic Line’, and was previously used by the Downtown Historic Railway, which ran restored heritage streetcars in summer. This project involved HMM successfully negotiating with the BC Safety Authority to allow the streetcars to cross Moberly Road using only traffic lights without gates or other train signals. This is a first for Vancouver and an important precedent for transit in BC. The design represented an advanced approach in that it merged a variety of modern elements with an old system. Re-using the existing infrastructure was more than just a goal; it was a necessity, as there wasn’t the time or funding to do more.

Vancouver's 2010 Streetcar Demonstration Project
Vancouver’s 2010 Streetcar Demonstration Project Location Project Description Vancouver, BC Vancouver’s 2010 Streetcar Demonstration Project was developed from the preliminary engineering work that HMM undertook for the City of Vancouver (CoV). This was to develop a modern Client City of Vancouver streetcar employing modern Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) to link activity centers in Vancouver’s downtown core and integrate the existing SkyTrain (ALRT System), SeaBus (connecting North Vancouver with Downtown), West Coast Express, and bus service, with the newly developed high Project Type Transportation density neighbourhoods surrounding False Creek. During the preliminary engineering work it Services Detailed Design and became apparent that the existing trackwork Construction Management should be replaced in order to continue operating a Downtown historic Railway (DHR) service. In replacing the trackwork for the DHR a unique Duration May 2008 – November opportunity was identified within the Granville 2009 Corridor, between Granville Island and the Canada Line Olympic Village Station, to use the Construction Cost upgraded track to provide a Downtown Streetcar $8.5 M Demonstration Project during the time of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympics Winter Games. There are four goals of this project. Firstly, it would provide new track for DHR operation after the Demonstration period. Secondly, it would provide much needed transportation to and from Granville Island during the Olympics. Thirdly, and most importantly, it would provide Vancouverites and potential funding partners the opportunity to experience first hand what a modern light right scheme will be like in their Community. In addition, it provides a real world test of ridership that would inform decisions and support the business case for the development of the full scheme.

An alternative approach to a traditional multiple account The Vancouver SkyTrain’s Expo Line is the backbone evaluation methodology was used to evaluate of Metro Vancouver’s rapid transit network. The Expo benefits generated by a series of improvements.

Its needed to consider the most appropriate time for subsequent expansion to King George Station in any given upgrade, so that system operation Surrey increased the Expo Line to a 29-kilometre continued normally and service disruptions and system with 20 stations. passenger inconvenience were minimized. Until 2009, the Expo Line operated at capacity, SNC-Lavalin fully satisfied the objectives of the study carrying approximately 12,000 people per hour per and kept within budget and schedule. The key tasks direction (pphpd). A fleet expansion in 2009-2010 included: confirming current passenger demand exceeded demand on the line; however, studies condition; forecasting future ridership over the next revealed that the expected ridership growth over the 30 years; assessing the existing system constraints next several years would again lead to overcrowded preventing the system from achieving full potential conditions. capacity; identifying potential upgrades; and recommending an upgrade implementation strategy.

Canada Line Transit Tunnels
Canada Line Transit Tunnels (Vancouver, BC): ground stability when excavating in Earth Pressure Balance mode; how changes to the conditioning of the excavated soil cope with varying challenges presented by a highly permeable layer. Zdenek Dan Eisenstein, Jeff Hewitt, Andrea Ciamei, Marco Moccichino 1. Summary Glacial till section of the Canada Line TBM tunnels experienced some disruption during the excavation. Unexpected not homogeneous soil conditions and layers of loose high permeable material with hydraulic connectivity have been successfully faced though. TBM was always below water table level with peak of 20 metres head. The control of stability pressure and muck conditioning were key elements of a challenging accomplishment. Specifically, field tests on the spoils and frequent adaptations to the conditioning agents’ mixture allowed regular boring cycles. Pulpy and homogeneous material inside the TBM excavation chamber granted a more uniform distribution of the earth stability pressures. This paper investigates the influence of keeping a proper not permeable muck in respect of the TBM face stability. Analyses show the effects of a homogeneous muck with a coefficient of permeability at least equal to the lowest in situ value. Under such conditions, the possibility of considering the undrained behaviour of the soil is one of the major finding of the present study. Permeability’s influence with non cohesive soil will be studied in further developments. 2. Canada Line: introduction The Canada Line is a 19km long automated light rapid transit system with 16 stations in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Concession was awarded to InTransitBC to design, build, partially finance, operate, and maintain the system for 35 years.
