P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd.
Project: Cumberland Square Redevelopment 
Client/Owner: Concorde Group of Companies

A conventional geotechnical investigation was completed at a site located in Saskatoon to provide foundation design parameters for a proposed multi-storey building. The geotechnical report recommended driven, open-end steel pipe piles as the foundation of choice. In consultation with the project Owner and general contractor, it was decided to complete pile driving analyzer (PDA) testing on pre-production piles in the hopes of optimizing the pile design. The results revealed that the geotechnical design parameters could be increased, and the testing also allowed to use a resistance factor of 0.5. The increase in geotechnical design parameters coupled with the increased resistance factor resulted in a significant cost saving for the project.

PINTER & Associates Ltd.
Project: Flying Dust First Nation Railway Lands Remediation
Client/Owner: Flying Dust First Nation

Flying Dust First Nation and PINTER & Associates Ltd. remediated over 130,000 tonnes of environmentally impacted materials via excavation using locally sourced First Nations resources.
The project covered 27 parcels of land along 5.5 kilometres of former railway and was the first successfully completed railway reversion project of its size. Flying Dust was involved in every aspect of this project and were a critical contributor in the remediation of their own lands. Flying Dust are now able to take back and develop these lands, leading to economic and social benefits for years to come.

BCL Engineering Ltd
Project: Wastewater Treatment Upgrades
Client/Owner: Town of Pilot Butte

Situated on the outskirts of Regina, the Town of Pilot Butte is a rapidly growing Town of just over 2,600 residents. Faced with increasing regulatory and development pressures due to a rapidly growing population, upgrades to the wastewater treatment facility became a top priority for the Town.

BCL designed a wastewater treatment system for the Town which integrated Nexom’s O-P-T-A-E-R (aeration) and submerged activated growth reactor (S-A-G-R) technologies with the existing lagoon infrastructure (primary and storage cells).

The project has met its objective of providing the Town of Pilot Butte with a wastewater treatment system that meets the long-term treatment and capacity requirements of the rapidly growing community and a treated effluent quality that meets the effluent targets developed for the Town.

Project: Battleford Truss Bridge Rehabilitation
Client/Owner: Town of Battleford

For almost 100 years, two steel truss bridges served as a main transportation route to the Town of Battleford. Today, the historic structures provide access to Finlayson Island for vehicles and pedestrians. Since 2003, Associated Engineering has worked with the Town to maintain the structures. In 2018, A-E developed a Ten-Year Management Plan that provided the basis for federal grants. The need for repair and erosion control was addressed and included a longer jump span and armouring of the bank. The design will increase use following construction. The cost-effective, environmentally sustainable rehabilitation restores the Battleford bridges for decades to come.
