SOFT GROUND ENG Page 1 of 1


PROJECT RELATED EXPERIENCE – SOFT GROUND ENGINEERING Utzig Holdings Ltd. Delta, BC Undertook a rigorous geotechnical assessment for an existing landfill placed on bog (Burns Bog). Geotechnical issues included development potential, and short-term (total stress) and long-term (effective stress) global stability. The effects of creep-induced consolidation were also addressed with respect to nearby high-pressure gas mains. Farrell Estates Ltd. Richmond, BC Completed numerous studies for various small warehouse type structures located within a peat bog area. Methods for ground improvement included preloading. Long-term settlement criteria were established as well as special provisions for unique foundation loading conditions. Suncor Energy Inc. Alberta Carried out a stability assessment for a tailings containment facility to be constructed over oil sand tailings. In order to achieve satisfactory long-term global factors of safety, methods such as soil-grout mixed columns and/or gravel columns were evaluated as a means to increase the strength of the subgrade soils. Column sizes and spacings were determine on the basis of the composite strength of the subgrade soils and designated minimum factors of safety for global stability. Flatiron Construction Ltd. Coquitlam, BC Provided geotechnical engineering design for equipment access over swamp conditions beneath the Port Mann Bridge. Various designs for sediment control and support of a 360-tonne crawler crane travelling over the peat deposits were developed and implemented.

LANDFILLS Page 1 of 1


PROJECT RELATED EXPERIENCE – LANDFILLS Utzig Holdings Ltd. Delta, BC Provided geotechnical design for closure of a woodwaste landfill placed on bog (Burns Bog). Geotechnical issues included development potential, short-term (total stress) and long-term (effective stress) global stability, control of leachate discharge through the woodwaste into an environmentally sensitive area, development of slope configuration and cover design and placement requirements for landfill closure, and review of post-closure development considerations. City of Cranbrook Cranbrook, BC Provided geotechnical design input for development of a new municipal waste facility in Cranbrook. Geotechnical issues included assessment of areal extent required to meet Cranbrook’s municipal waste generation and review of the existing soil profiles with respect to need for sythetic liners.

Howe Sound Pulp & Paper Port Mellon, BC Provided senior geotechnical services for a major landfill development for the pulp and paper industry at Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, and at Port Mellon on the west coast of mainland BC. The industrial landfill was to be completed in three phases, with the first phase (Cells 1A & B) occupying a volume of about 500,000 m3. Geotechnical design and construction components included static and seismic stability assessment, control of surface water flow and groundwater seepage, design of sediment control features, design and construction monitoring of a reinforced soil embankment varying to a maximum height of approximately 70 ft, and selection and design of geomembrane liner systems and leachate control systems.

NorskeCanada Ltd. Crofton, BC Provided project management, design, and senior construction review of a 6-hectare landfill located in Crofton. The design also included development of an operation plan to facilitate the placement of ash over the life span of the facility. The landfill was required as an expansion of existing landfill facilities to accommodate the increased production of ash from the pulp & paper plant. The landfill was sited within a moderate sloping terrain, with an elevation difference of about 18 m over a distance of about 350 m. The site soils predominantly comprised glacial deposits with a localised wetland area near the upslope end. The design included placement of an underdrainage layer comprising a network of drains to intercept groundwater springs, a 60-mil HDPE liner (textured on one side), a leachate collection system and monitoring facility, and containment berms to mitigate the potential for large displacements during a major earthquake. The maximum design height of the final landfill was 30 m.

HIGHWAYS & BRIDGES Page 1 of 2


PROJECT RELATED EXPERIENCE – HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES McGill Street Overpass Vancouver, BC Provided ground improvement design, specifications, and construction monitoring for stabilisation of the south abutment of the McGill Street Overpass for the purpose of mitigating liquefaction during a major earthquake. The ground conditions consisted of loose to compact, fine to medium sands, which were densified using timber displacement piles.

CPR Overpass – Cape Horn Coquitlam, BC Reviewed overall post-earthquake event stability of the CP Rail overpass on Highway No. 1 at Cape Horn in Coquitlam. Generated anisotropic strength models for cyclically softened mineral deposits, and determined liquefied strengths of granular deposits for the assessment. Alternate methods of ground improvement were analysed (such as light weight fills, pile stabilisation, stone columns, and soil reinforcement) to limit post-event displacements to within structural tolerances.

Simms Creek Overpass Campbell River, BC Developed seismic loading criteria and an overall stability assessment for bridge abutments for the Simms Creek Crossings (North and South Arms) along Dogwood Street in Campbell River. Assessments addressed cyclic softening of sensitive marine clays and local/global stability of the bridge abutments subsequent to the design earthquake event.

Canyon Drive Rehabilitation Hudson Hope, BC Provided geotechnical input into route selection and engineering for approximately 1.2 km of highway located about 2 km northwest of Hudson Hope. A 1.2-km section of highway was to be remediated due to continual slope failures along the side of a steep embankment along the east bank of the Peace River. The new alignment took advantage of terrain features, a gully that was set back from the problematic slope area. The new design included cuts and fills, with the fills reaching a depth of about 6 m, and the cuts reaching a height of about 25 m. The maximum road grade was 10%. Cuts within the native deposits were dependant on the sensitive nature of the low to medium plastic clays and the extreme climatic conditions of the region. The cut slopes were optimised by acceptance of minor ravelling (maintenance considerations) while significantly reducing the risk of deep-seated slope failure and reducing the volume of materials to be removed. A pavement section was developed in consideration of traffic frequency and type, native soil conditions, frost penetration, and spring thaw.

Peterson Hill Remediation Ft. St. John, BC Provided geotechnical input into route selection and engineering for approximately 650-m section of highway located about 60 km north of Ft. St. John. The existing section of highway was subject to ongoing localised failures, with periodic large-scale failure of fills situated within a ravine crossing. The new alignment took advantage of terrain features, a gully that was set back from the problematic slope area. The new design included cuts and fills, with the fills reaching a depth of about 10 m (ravine infill), and the cuts reaching a height of about 20 m. The maximum road grade was 10%. Cuts within the native deposits were dependant on the sensitive nature of the low to medium plastic clays and the extreme climatic conditions of the region. The cut slopes were optimised by acceptance of minor ravelling (maintenance considerations) while significantly reducing the risk of deep-seated slope failure and reducing the volume of materials to be removed. Very flat slopes were required within the ravine infills due the presence of an unknown source of water, which previously triggered a large landslide within the extensive ravine infills. Removal and replacement of the extensive fills was not an option (by the owner) due to the substantial costs that would be incurred in this remote area. A pavement section was also developed in consideration of traffic frequency and type, native soil conditions, frost penetration, and spring thaw.

Highway 91 Delta, BC Provided geotechnical engineering analyses for the foundation design for the Howe Street and 72nd Avenue overpasses for the new Highway 91 upgrading project in New Westminster and Delta. The upgraded section extends from the Queensborough area to approximately the 72nd Avenue exit. The soil conditions over most of the designated upgrade area comprised bogland peats overlying organics, which were underlain by liquefiable deposits. The analyses included a review of the seismic response of the underlying ground conditions during a major earthquake and provided alternative deep foundation support methods, including concrete piling steel piles and large steel caissons. Numerical (finite element) analyses were also carried out to evaluate the effects of fill placement adjacent to the new foundations (with respect to permanent lateral deformations and subsequent reduction of axial pile capacity).
