An existing 3.0m diameter x 30.5m long Corrugated Steel Pipe (CSP) culvert had to be replaced due to sagging of the roof as well as perforated corrosion on the floor. GeoMetrix was retained as the structural engineering consultant for the CSP replacement design. GeoMetrix also carried out an independent design check of the gabion… Continue Reading
GeoMetrix was retained by Alberta Transportation as the prime consultant on the replacement of BF86321 culvert on Highway 2:54 near High Prairie, AB. This crossing consists of four 1.2m diameter CSP culverts. All four existing culverts were demonstrating signs of being under-capacity due to evidence of overflow.
