This project involved the reconstruction of a 2.6 km section of a Region of Waterloo rural road in Wallenstein, ON. This project required this installation of storm sewer in the existing ditches that lined the road. The sewer ranged in size from 250mm to 600mm, and HDPE was used in the entirety of the runs. New curb and sidewalk was installed in the intersections and through the residential driveways throughout the project. New traffic signals were installed at the intersection of Herrgott Rd and Line 86, directly in front of the Wallenstein General Store. 

The existing roadway was pulverized and re-graded along the entire length of the job, with the exception of the main intersection in Wallenstein. Careful planning was completed to ensure that two lanes of traffic could pass through the work area at all times. Flagging was used when two lanes were not an option. After the pulverized roadway was graded and re-compacted 10,000 tonnes of SP 19.0 base asphalt were placed on the entirety of the job. This was followed by 3200 tonnes of SP 12.5 FC1 surface asphalt. Like the pulverizing operation, traffic control planning and staging became very critical for the success of the paving operation.

Airport Construction began in spring/summer of 2022, and was complete by the end of the 2022 construction season. There was a large need for fill on this site, so working with the new excess soils regulations and implementing a soil tracking system, we were able to import over 30,000 m3 of structural fill to the site. The site servicing required for the site included 1500m of storm sewer, 450m of watermain installation and 200m of sanitary sewer including a precast concrete wastewater tank. There was a stormwater retention system that was also installed, with a capacity of over 1000m3 of stormwater run-off. 

Granular installation, concrete curb and sidewalk and asphalt paving followed the site servicing. There was also a large electrical component to this project, where we installed site lighting and power to a guardhouse that will be installed in the second phase of this project.

This project is a reconstruction of 1.2 km of Bridge St, in Kitchener and Waterloo. This includes full roadworks excavation and granulars, storm sewer upgrades and repairs, watermain replacement, concrete hardscape, and HMA paving. There is considerable traffic staging for this project, and it is separated into a 2022 and 2023 phase of the project. The section of Bridge repair work has to remain open to one lane of traffic during the 2022 construction phase. 

The bridge component of this project involves the repair and retrofit of an existing structure spanning Laurel Creek, which is a tributary of the Grand River. Work on this project, and this bridge specifically needs to comply with the requirements of the GRCA Permit for this project. A suspended deck was built on this bridge to complete the repairs to the girders and sofit, as well as to build the concrete supports for the 400mm insulated sanitary forcemain. This suspended deck required us to core through the deck to install an anchoring system that would support the live and dead-loads of the suspended deck, and is complete with environmental controls to stop debris from entering the waterway below. To begin the installation we used a mobile suspended platform to work under the bridge and begin the repairs, as the deck was getting built. The forcemain supports we built by a metal fabrication supplier and the pipe was dry-fit at their shop before brought to site and installed on the bridge.

This project involved the construction of two single-lane round-a-bouts for the County of Brant on King Edward St, west of Paris. The round-a-bouts intersect Putown/Falkland Rd and Bishopsgate Road. The area was to be kept open for two lanes of traffic for the duration of the construction, so traffic management and staging of the work was an important part of the job planning stage. 

Drainage upgrades were an important part of this project. Most of the storm sewer was new construction, with connections to the existing infrastructure that was onsite. The storm sewer ranged in size from 250mm catch basin leads to 900mm concrete sewer. As with any round-a-bout concrete curb and sidewalk play a crucial role in the alignment of the intersection. In total 650m3 of concrete was poured to construct the splitter islands, barrier curb, concrete pavement and sidewalks. 

35,000 m2 od King Edward St was reconstructed with Cold In-Place Recycling with Expanded Asphalt (CIREAM). In additional the this, 4700 tonnes of SP 19.0 base asphalt and 2450 tonnes of SP 12.5 FC1 was placed to comprise the new asphalt make-up of the round-abouts. Below this, Capital placed over 15,000 tonnes of granular B and A to make up the new road base structure of the intersections.

This project consisted of the removal and replacement of two culverts. The first culvert replacement involved the installation of three 1340x2110mm concrete elliptical culverts. The second area involved the installation of two 1090x1730mm concrete elliptical culverts. 

Both areas required extensive de-watering and creek diversion. The diversion plan was drafted and stamped by a third party engineering company, retained by Capital Paving and included the installation of 3 x 900mm HDPE diversion culverts. The project area required consistent de-watering, and flows were calculated daily and submitted to the the Town as part of our requirement under the Permit to Take Water. The sub-base was stabilized with sheet-pile shoring and rock immersion, which involved the placement of 6″ gabion stone in the soft native material. The roadworks consisted of Granular B & A placement and asphalt paving.

This project included the reconstruction of a 700m stretch of arterial road in the City of Kitchener. Two-way traffic was to be maintained at all times, so to complete the work, several traffic configurations were required. 

The project consisted of the extension of a 600mm CCP Zone 5 watermain from International Place to Fischer Hallman, as well as the removal or grouting of the existing asbestos cement watermain. Due to the proximity of the regional water treatment facility, staged shutdowns were required for all connections. A cured-in-place (CIP) liner was installed in the existing main through the Fischer Hallman intersection. 

The roadworks on the project consisted of earth excavation and granular placement, concrete curb and sidewalk and asphalt paving with SuperPave asphalt mixes. Several entrances to the nearby plaza were re-configured as part of this contract as well. A multi-use path was also installed.

Work for this project began in the late spring of 2021, and was completed in the fall of 2022. The roadwork component of the project involved improvements to the the grading and drainage along the 403 corridor, including cleaning, repairing and lining 14 non-structural culverts. This work was staged prior to the asphalt paving, and required heightened environmental controls. Paving on this project consisted of nearly 60,000 tonnes of Superpave asphalt mixes (SP 19.0 & SP 12.5 FC2). 

The contract also required structural rehabilitation work of the Horner Creek bridge. This included waterproofing removal and replacement; type A & type C partial depth concrete repairs; full depth concrete repairs; jacking of the superstructure and replacement of bearings; and the removal and replacement of the parapet wall, deck ends, ballast and wing walls and the semi-integral expansion joints.

Erb Street W Improvements was a multi-year project that was completed in 2021 for the Region of Waterloo. The project included the replacement of a 1km section of 450mm diameter water main system, including the replacement and fitting of a new Pressure Reduction Valve Chamber and connections to 4 different distribution lines, two separate pressure zones, and a reservoir/pump station. Due to the complexity of the installation and connections, and detailed WM commission plan had to be completed. 

This project was completed with traffic fully open through the site, so multiple traffic configurates needed to by employed to ensure the safety of our workers, as well as the ease of transit for the public. Road construction included excavation and placement of 50,000t of granulars, storm sewer improvements and removal and disposal of 700m of asbestos watermain pipe. Surface works for this job included over 4500 linear meters of curb, 10,000t of SuperPave HMA placed in echelon, and full coordination with Sub-Contractors.

This project included partial depth asphalt milling, placement of SP 19, SP 12.5 FC2 , SMA asphalt materials and durable pavement markings. Electrical upgrades were completed as well as complete resurfacing of all on/ off ramps at Guelph Line. Work was completed within limited lane closure timing restrictions, with a major focus on safe Book 7 lane closures and signage. Due to the nature of the work, scheduling became a key element of the management of the project deliverables. 

Work also included Type B and Type C concrete repairs at the Guelph Line Bridge. This work was completed by Capital Paving forces, utilizing overnight lane closures. Mobile elevated work platforms were required for our crews to work on the underside of the bridge. These platforms were equipped with debris and dust controls, so that we did not effect traffic in the adjacent live lanes. Work was complete with chipping hammers, and repairs were complete by anchoring the form work to the underside of the deck and pumping the repair concrete into the repair areas.

This project involved multiple stages of construction and coordination with an archaeological study that was taking place in the project area from the start of construction in spring 2020. We were also challenged with coordinating with a contractor hired by the City of Kitchener for a sanitary trunk installation. This CofK project included a directional drill for a sanitary trunk main beneath our site at the Strasburg Creek. The work for the Strasburg Creek Culvert installation included work within the GRCA and Capital was required to work within the confines of the GRCA permit. With these constraints, considerable effort was required to keep an accurate and updated project schedule.

The installation of the pre-cast culvert required the lowering of the existing 300mm Watermain. Because of the groundwater level, a dewatering and creek diversion was required. The construction of the culvert included the placement of pre-cast box culvert units. This was done in phases in order to maintain the existing flow of the Strasburg Creek. The ends of the culvert required cast-in place wing-walls and were completed by our structural concrete crew. 

Roadway construction included excavation and placement of 25,00t of granulars, storm and sanitary system improvements and the construction of a round-a-bout at Bleams Rd. and Fischer-Hallamn Rd., Surface works included concrete curb and sidewalk, SuperPave HMA and the construction of  Multi-Use Trail (M.U.T.).
