Brennan Paving & Construction
Hwy 407 East Extension - Durham Region (Construction General Partnership)
Brennan Paving and Construction was awarded work on the Highway 407 East Extension project for pre-cast culverts and structures,
sewer and grading works in August 2013. Ground breaking
commenced promptly in September 2013. On-site management and
field staff work diligently to ensure all activities are done at above
normal standards from office related to on-site works. Our team at
the 407 project is fully committed to ensuring that The Miller Group
is recognized for quality, safety and efficiency of work. The COR program
has already been implemented on this project, getting ready
for certification.
Our team strives to have an above standard working relationship
with our Client and sub-contractors to ensure work proceeds in a
Brennan Paving & Construction
GTA Construction – Concrete Paving MTO 2010-2001 (Hwy 404 Extension)
The project involved concrete paving for the 404 extension
from Green Lane to Queensville Side Road.
For this project, Miller Concrete supplied the concrete for the
project with our Erie Strayer Portable Concrete batch plant.
Mainline Pavement was placed with our Gomaco PS-2600
Placer/Spreader, Gomaco GHP-2800 2-Lane Paver and Gomaco
IDBI (In-the-pan dowel bar inserter). During placement,
in order to provide a smooth riding surface, a Gomaco GSI
Smoothness Indicator was utilized. Deceleration lanes were
completed with our Gomaco Commander III and CMI MTP-
4004 Belt Placer.
Earth excavation on Hwy 407 East Extension
Cast-in-place concrete in Con-Span pre-cast culvert footings
This section of the Hwy 407 was originally awarded to another contractor but the Hwy 407 East
Group had serious doubts of that contractor’s capability of fulfilling the high expectations of
the Group. They subsequently awarded the project to Brennan Paving.
This new section includes, among other activities, 500,000 m3 of earth excavation and supply
and placement of over 400,000 tons of Granular A from Miller’s Carden Quarry. Day after day,
the Hwy 407 East Group looks at Brennan and Miller as reliable and dependable resources to
assure excellent quality of
work and on-time delivery.
smooth, efficient, and profitable manner. Since the start of
the project, 407ECGP contract administrators have looked
for Brennan’s assistance on items which are beyond the
original contract. Brennan has attained additional work by
not only having a great relationship with the Client, but also
within the team at the 407 project. That way, Brennan has
become the “Contractor of Choice” by the 407ECGP Team.
Brennan was recently awarded another section of earth
work in the west area (Segment A1) of the new highway.
The Hwy 407 East Group needed to accelerate construction
operations and they knew that Brennan would achieve any
commitments we made on the project.
Different Divisions of
the Miller Group; Miller
Aggregates, Miller Concrete,
Transportation and
Logistics, Miller Paving, Installation of pre-cast culvert arches
and Brennan, have come
together on the Hwy 407 East project to show once again that
we are Only the Best!
The Spider Saw in action
Miller Paving utilized our ‘spider saw’ on this project.
Unique in Canada to The Miller Group, this equipment
performs the transverse relief cutting for our concrete
paving work. Not only does this equipment ensure
a perfect linear cut across the joint; it is also capable
of performing this work at approximately double the
rate as per conventional methods – ensuring that no
random cracks develop due to late sawcutting.
Miller Paving received a bonus on the concrete paving for the project due to the high level of quality associated with the ready
mix concrete that was supplied and for the smoothness of the end product. This high level of quality proves our position within
the industry as – ONLY THE BEST!
