2012 Awards of Excellence
Award of merit – Infrastructure/Transportation
Project Name: Chief Peguis Trail Extension Rothesay Street Overpass
Firms: AECOM Canada Ltd. and
Gateway Construction & Engineering Ltd.
Client: DBF2 Ltd.
JUDGES’ COMMENTS
The judges chose this
project for a Merit award
as it provided a significant
contribution to the overall
Chief Peguis trail extension.
The structure incorporates
the first know combination
of mechanically stabilized
earth retaining wall abutments
and light-weight
cellular fill supporting
an integral abutment. A
major achievement was the
completion of the overpass
in only 11 months.
Award of merit – Energy Resource Development
Project Name: Mayo B Hydro Enhancement Project
Firm:
KGS Group
Client: Yukon Energy Corporation
JUDGES’ COMMENTS
The Mayo B Enhancement
Project documents the
successful construction of
a northern hydro project,
which increased the capacity
of the existing facility from 5
megawatts to 15 megawatts
and thereby displacing diesel
generation. The successful
completion was in large part
attributable to the ability of
those involved to work in
harmony and in the best interest
of the project; resolving
not only complex technical
problems but equally complex
hum relations issues.
