said Horner. “With safety and the environment at the fore-front
of execution, our team bonded together to achieve this
project without incident and minimization of environmental
impacts. The working crews utilized MasTec Canada’s Safety
Management System and Behaviour Based Observation
Program. Working during the coldest part of the prairie
winter (January and February), a night shift was utilized to
ensure the aggressive contract schedule was met.”
MasTec used its own equipment for the project, which
included the following:
• 165-ton Terex crawler cranes
• 110-ton Terex crawler crane
• Delmag D30 diesel hammers
• ICE 50B vibro hammer
• ICE 28B vibro hammer
“We currently own the AZ39-700 sheet piles used in the
design and installation of the cofferdams,” said Horner. “As a
result of MasTec owning these sheet piles and having them
available for this project, the design incorporated these
sheets. With these sheets being a thicker and stronger size,
this afforded sufficient support for the intended design. The
sheets provided a capacity in excess of 1,200kN.m.”
The following companies supplied equipment:
• Driven H-piles (310 × 110) – 18 metres to 47 metres in
total length (supplied by Manitoba Infrastructure)
• Driving shoes (310 × 110) (supplied by Manitoba
Infrastructure)
