Awards of Excellence - ACEC|Manitoba

2012 Awards of Excellence
Award of merit – Infrastructure/Transportation
Project Name: Southwest Rapid Transit Corridor Osborne Street Station
Firm:
Dillon Consulting Limited
Client: City of Winnipeg – Transit Department
JUDGES’ COMMENTS
The judges chose this project
for an Award of Merit due to
the advances made in designing
a transit station on top of a
new bridge and the lack of any
design codes for this project.
Significant constraints on the
site and the large skew angle
greatly added to the complexity
of the design and overall
project requirements. The
social, economic and environmental
contribution for this
project were also significant
for the City.
Award of merit – Municipal & Water Technology
Project Name: University of Winnipeg Combined Sewer Overflow Storage
Firm:
AECOM Canada Ltd.
Client: City of Winnipeg – Water and Waste Department
JUDGES’ COMMENTS
The University of Winnipeg Combined
Sewer Overflow Storage
Facility project addressed the problem
of discharging raw sewage in
to the Assiniboine River from combined
sewers. The unique solution
was offline storage constructed
amidst the challenges of a dense
downtown area at the University
of Winnipeg. The underground
storage facility also allowed the
area above the facility to become
a University Of Winnipeg green
space and the design provided an
opportunity to demonstrate CSO
mitigation technology, which could
be applied citywide.
