“We did have a bit of a challenge with an undocumented
lake bed depression,” Van Impe said. “Suddenly there
was a pocket that fell over two metres, but we solved the
problem quickly by splicing additional material to the pipes
and sheets. The splicing work was completed both in the
field and within our manufacturing plant, and the option
to complete the work in two locations greatly reduced
the delay and associated costs. It was a ‘field fit’ solution
that worked.”
By the end of November, the wall was completed, although
working on the edge of a large metropolis, the timeframe
could have been much longer. SB Canada deployed two
shifts for much of the project which helped Ellis Don and
Waterfront Toronto maintain the demanding schedule.
Despite some changes and issues along the way, the hard
work and responsive nature of SB Canada allowed the project
to be completed on schedule.
As the backfilling behind the new wall progresses through
the winter and spring of 2019, SB Canada will still be involved.
“We are constantly checking the wall to make sure it stays
plumb,” said Van Impe. “As the backfilling operations continue,
more and more load is applied to the wall and this causes the
wall to bend out. When that happens, we go out and tighten up
the anchors to get it back straight and flush again.”
It is this kind of expertise in providing custom solutions,
combined with the ability to handle unexpected challenges,
that provides the strong foundation beneath the success
of the new Soletanche Bachy Canada – for today and into
the future.
