Clanwilliam Bridge Project

Clanwilliam Bridge Project

The Clanwilliam Bridge upgrade included replacing the deteriorating old two-lane bridge with a four-lane structure for improved capacity and safety.

This project involved:

  • Tight quality control standards
  • Performance concrete mix designs, including self-compacting concrete, controlled density fill, and high durability bridge deck mix
  • Bridge deck mass pours up to 18 hours in duration
  • Strict adherence to environmental and safety protocols

With our many years of experience in concrete, we were able meet the stringent specifications that the project required, and in a short timeline to completion of under two years. We are proud to have contributed to upgrading this section of the the Trans-Canada Highway, significantly improving safety standards as well as increasing capacity and mobility.
