EDMONTON, AB

QUICK FACTS PROJECT OVERVIEW

AVERAGE ANNUAL The Northeast (NEAHD) project is DAILY TRAFFIC: a $1,300,000,000 P3 project involving 27 km of new 125,000 eight-lane divided freeway with 46 bridge structures to complete 's ring road. Construction of bridges STRUCTURES over old mines, numerous major pipeline relocations, (AREA IN M²): the North River crossing, replacement of 46 BRIDGE interchange and rail bridges while maintaining service STRUCTURES were challenges faced by Lafarge as a member of the TOTALING OVER project design build joint venture. At award, this was 10,000 M² the largest transportation contract ever signed by the Government. TOTAL PROJECT VALUE: $1,800,000,000 The project consisted of 27km of eight-lane divided freeway with 189 lane-km of roadway, nine service CONSTRUCTION interchanges, seven grade separations, 46 bridge VALUE: structures with 12 bridges constructed during roadway $1,300,000,000 operation, 103 overhead sign structures, and 70 impacted wetlands. PROCUREMENT MODEL: P3 DBFOM

EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP A MULTI-DISCIPLINE, COMPLEX PROJECT MANAGER PROJECT

The Northeast Anthony Henday Drive project was based in a large Western Canadian municipality, utilizing a DBFOM P3 funding model. It is one of Alberta's largest projects with high levels of staging, management, and complexity. The job was massive not just in scope, but also covered a large area, spanning 20km from north to ANDREW south and 8km from east to west. MELNYCHUK PRDOeJsEigCnT le IaMdsA, cGoEnSstruction management, and operations and maintenance representatives and GENERAL concession managers were co-located on site. Lafarge SUPERINTENDENT discussed design challenges with the designers daily to produce constructible, technically-compliant designs. Formal contractor reviews were completed on all design packages at 4 stages during the design development, and weekly meetings were held with Alberta Transportation to review submittal packages.

UTILITY COORDINATION

JOHN DANIELE Over 500 utilities, including major pipelines, needed protection or relocation - requiring close coordination between the design SUPERINTENDENT disciplines, Lafarge, and the (ROADS) many utility companies. An extensive hydrovac program was undertaken and designs were modified to avoid conflicts as often as possible.

Utility relocations and crossings within the NEAHD Transportation KEVIN DEY and Utility Corridor were one of the most strenuously managed scopes due to their impacts on scheduling. The site included 500+ existing utility obstacles, and crews were required to relocate and/or protect nearly 300. The entire team had to collaborate to establish innovative designs and traffic-accommodation strategies to ensure that utility delays did not stand in the way of opening to traffic in October 2016.

Richard’s latest initiative has his team partnering with Tsuu T’ina Nation on the 90 Avenue S.W and Southland Drive connection project. The Tsuu T’ina nation is supplying the gravel for the road base. Richard and his team are working with Tsuu T’ina’s gravel pit operators to ensure the material met City of Calgary specifications. This project has been huge success for all partners, and from this project a relationship has flourished, with Lafarge and Tsuu T’ina Nation already looking for future opportunities to work together.

NORTHEAST ANTHONY HENDAY DRIVE PROJECT EXPUENRIQIEUNEC E CHALLENGES:

COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AQUARIAN SPECIES HABITAT

HIGH VOLUME URBAN TRAFFIC AREAS

EFFECTIVE CLOSURE TECHNIQUES

ONGOING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

The NEAHD project team was required to secure a LONG-TERM Fisheries Act Authorization to compensate for the PLANNING Harmful Alteration, Disturbance or Destruction of fish DESIGN habitat associated with cofferdam marine construction in the North , as well as surface embankments impacting runoff. The project team worked with regulators and Alberta Transportation to devise appropriate mitigation and compensation strategies, as well as to develop the comprehensive Environmental Management System and Environmental Protection Plan.

PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN VARIED PROJECT INTERESTS

Early on, the entire project team committed to core principles. The design and construction team worked together to optimise bridge deck areas, plan foundation construction over abandoned coal mines, optimize pavement designs and implement environmental mitigation measures. Constructibility considerations were integrated into every phase of the project's design. NORTHEAST ANTHONY HENDAY DRIVE
