Lac Saguay 50 km cyclic pathway
Geohazard Evaluation & MSE Wall
The project involved prompt respond to a Geo-hazard Risk Assessment to a part of 50 km stretch of public cyclic pathway and snow trail located in Lac Saguay. Immediate intervention was required to identify causes of instability, review elements causing the failure, assessing potential progressive risk and safety to public, and evaluate risk associated with keeping the pathway opened to public.
Engineering Environmentally Harmonious Solutions
The assessment was carried out in four phases to support public safety and minimize impact on municipal touristic season.
- Phase 1 consisted of reviewing the geological information of the area, documenting site condition, and surveying failure characteristics. Based on information at hand, an analytical model was developed to evaluate past, present, and future potential conditions that yielded in our phase I recommendations.
- Phase 2 implemented a site investigation plan to confirm phase I consideration. Assess soil design parameters and develop sustainable remedial solutions in line with environmental consideration, local available resources, and execution time.
- Phase 3 included developing IFC plans and specification for tender procedures, tender review, and recommendations.
- Phase 4 carried out during construction by implement quality control program to ensure adherence to specification and successful project completion on time.
Supporting our Clients, Ensuring Public Safety
Public safety was prioritized. The adopted solution considered minimizing the impact on the site natural setting and environmental characteristics.
Sustainability was confirmed under varying climatic imposed conditions, seismic consideration, and applied loading conditions. This remedial solution utilized available regional contractual resources and was optimized to meet the client's completion requirements.
