West Calgary Ring Road – DB1

Project Description:

Working as a Subcontractor to the General Contractor (Ellis Don), Sureway is performing the overall earthworks scope for the DB1 project. This project includes the new construction of Stoney Trail from Highway 1A (TransCanada Hwy) to Springbank Rd, the reconstruction of Highway 1A west to Old Banff Coach Rd and a new systems interchange at Highway 1A and Stoney Trail.

A large cut excavation in the Paskapoo Formation on the south Stoney Trail section required Rock Blasting. This project has similar geological and geotechnical conditions as that of Springbank, including a high degree of material characterization and management for various fill material requirements.

Borrow excavation will form pond features with compacted clay liners. Stringent requirements for ESC, dust control and care of water. High stakeholder management focus due to close proximity to residential neighborhoods.
