Turncot Interchange

REVITALIZING A MAJOR MONTREAL TRANSPORTATION NODE IS "A HUGE 3D PUZZLE" By Sarah B. Hood The Turcot Interchange is the gateway to southwestern Montreal. Since freight and passengers entering the island city by rail or road have a limited choice of routes, more than 300,000 vehicles per day pass through this dense transportation network. It is the connection point for three highways, access to the Champlain Bridge and the ground route to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. Montreal's main rail lines also pass through the area.

Sealed Deal

WATERLIGHT, SELF-SEALING CONCRETE STRUCTURES ARE RESILIENT FOR THE LONG TERM By Kim Biggar Driving concrete piles in the construction of a deep foundation makes them prone to cracking, which leads to water penetration and corrosion of the reinforcing steel. This is an issue that pile driving contractors have dealt with largely by applying an oil-based coating to the concrete piles before driving. The coating is intended to serve as a barrier to water penetration.
