RELATED PROJECTS

• Super-Cor Box provides more climate change washout resilience in BC culvert-replacement project

  This Super-Cor Box Culvert was part of a larger infrastructure development and roundabout construction near a new high school being built in Lake Country, BC. Needless to say, there was a lot of construction activity in a small area.

• Another of our two-stage Super-Cor / MSE Wall solutions chosen for an NSTIR twinning project

  As part of the twinning of busy Highway 103 on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, a new access road and underpass structure was required for local residents to reach Vinegar Lake and other areas north of the highway near Hubbards.

• AIL’s Super-Cor with MSE Precast Panel Walls selected for more NSTIR 100 Series highway crossings

  An AIL Super-Cor Arch, complete with Best-Kote Polymer Coating and MSE Precast Panel headwalls, is now taking shape for Nova Scotia Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (NSTIR) along the Highway 107 extension project, also known as the Sackville-Bedford-Burnside Connector. This buried metal bridge for a grade separation at Pewter Lane joins a stream crossing at Wright’s Brook on the same nine-km, four-lane expressway project.

• AIL value engineers Polymer‐Coated Super-Cor Arch and MSE Wall package for NSTIR’s railway tunnel project at Windsor, NS

  AIL is proud to have another Super-Cor and MSE Panel Wall project now nearing completion of Phase 1 in Nova Scotia.

• AIL and Algonquin Bridge team up on NSTIR’s East River Bridge replacement project

  Nova Scotia Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal needed to replace an older wooden span bridge at East River on Highway 3, near Chester. AIL designed and supplied a Super•Cor Arch with Best•Kote Polymer Coating and our MSE Precast Panel Walls for the headwalls. AIL Group sister company, Algonquin Bridge, supplied a rental Modular Panel Bridge as a detour bridge for the project duration.

• Best-Kote Box Culvert best choice for St. John’s stream crossing

  When a Galvanized CSP Pipe Arch had reached the end of its service life in an area known for its aggressive soil chemistry, the City of St. John’s opted to replace it with a Super-Cor Box Culvert with Best-Kote Polymer Coating from AIL.

• Value engineered composite backfill makes big difference on Super-Cor grade separation in PEI

  Prince Edward Island — famous for its iron-rich red soil — does not have good quality aggregate typically used for backfill around buried structures. Consequently, aggregate is very expensive as it needs to be imported from other provinces, and buried arch bridges need a lot of engineered backfill. This was a major factor in the cost of this Trans Canada Highway grade separation at Baltic Road near Clyde River.
