Global engineering consultancy COWI has been retained by Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (ATEC) to provide engineering services for major bridge replacement and other work for the Highway 36:02 bridge over Chin Coulee Reservoir, south of Taber, Alberta.  The project involves the replacement of the existing Highway 36 bridge over the reservoir and the work has been necessitated by the planned water level rise to increase the reservoir’s capacity.  COWI’s scope of work will be preliminary engineering, detailed design, contract tendering, construction supervision including post construction and warranty inspection.  The reservoir sits in Chin Coulee Provincial Recreation Area where boating, water skiing, and fishing are popular pursuits on the water and is vital to the local community. The reservoir is located in the middle of a region in Southern Alberta known for its agriculture and agri-food sector that is a key contributor to the local and provincial eco...

September 2023 – “ For us, facing challenges means creating opportunities ”. Perhaps the words Silvia Dalla Valle, Stone Italiana’s Marketing Director, chose for her introduction to the third edition of the Sustainability Report are the best summary of how last year went for Stone Italiana on an economic, social and environmental level. It was a complex year to face, one marked by the continuing geopolitical crisis and an ever more demanding market. Nonetheless, the Italian Company posted a 7% increase in net profits compared with 2021 and a 21% reduction in direct CO ₂ emissions . These are encouraging figures that echo the significant results it has attained in terms of its commitment to the environment, reducing the consumption of paper for waybills by 62% (compared with 2020), consolidating the figure of 11% recycled base materials out of the total purchased and increasing the percentage of recovered waste to 83% . “While it is true that responsibility has been part of the Comp...

Owners building complex industrial projects face a wide range of risks in delivering their projects as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible. This is especially true when the project is still evolving in terms of scope or identifying long lead items, but, regardless, the planned start of production is the project’s primary driver. For owners facing this scenario, integrated services like the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) delivery method may be the best option for your project. EPCM encompasses the coordinated management of the project’s design, procurement, construction, and administration, with construction and design happening in tandem to crash the project schedule while simultaneously realizing significant potential cost reductions. EPCM achieves this by commencing project construction while design is still in its early stages, enabling the team to tender and award project elements prior to completed full package of design documentation. EPCM ...

Luke Carothers Located near the southern border of Missouri, Table Rock Lake was created in 1958 when the eponymous dam was constructed across the White River to control flooding and generate hydroelectric power.  Designed and built by the US Army Corps of Engineers over a four year period starting in 1954, Table Rock Dam–so named for an overhanging rock formation one mile downstream–created a 43,100-acre lake with a shoreline that stretches roughly 800 miles through the surrounding Ozark hills.  Long before the White River’s waters filled the shores of Table Rock Lake, however, it cut a defined path through the Ozarks–beginning in the Boston Mountains of Arkansas and snaking into Missouri before flowing southeast into the Arkansas River and eventually the Mississippi.  Before any stagecoaches, trains, or roads appeared in the Ozark Hills, the White River served as the region’s only means of transportation.  The region’s first settlers made their way through the reg...
