Grasslands Badlands Parkway
Parks Canada Agency challenged McElhanney to design the Badlands Parkway to minimize impacts to the wildlife and overall ecosystem.
Structural Engineering for Avalanche Mitigation
McElhanney’s structural engineers prepared a foundation design (including reinforced concrete and post-tensioned rock anchors) to assist with avalanche mitigation measures near Terrace, BC
Yoho National Park / Trans-Canada Highway Twinning
Banff National Park is home to a spectacular landscape and countless species of wildlife, attracting more than four million visitors each year.
Raising of the Bayonne Bridge
The historic raising of the Bayonne Bridge has permitted the largest modern supertankers and shipping vessels vital access to Newark Bay.
80th Avenue Extension
McElhanney was retained to design a brand new road for the Township of Langley, connecting the intersection of Labonte Ave / 216th Street with the intersection of Glover Road / Trinity Western University.
208 Street Overpass Widening
McElhanney was retained to twin the bridge, widen 0.8km of approach roads, and upgrade the multi-use bike path, to improve efficiency, safety, and accessibility for all users.
Avalanche Mitigation Projects
McElhanney worked alongside Parks Canada to complete several avalanche mitigation projects in the Rogers Pass area of Glacier National Park. This area is a critical link between Alberta and British Columbia, through which the Trans Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway traverse.
Ross Road Upgrades & Bridge Replacements
Ross Road is located between Mountain Highway and Allan Road in North Vancouver. McElhanney is designing replacement bridges for the aging Coleman Creek and Hastings Creek Bridges. This involves raising both the roadway approaches and bridges to achieve the maximum freeboard possible.
Stadium SkyTrain Station
McElhanney gathered laser scanned data, converted it into a 3D model, then brought it into Virtual Reality software. This is a relatively simple virtual reality experience where the user can move around the station by walking or teleporting.
No. 2 Road
The 3D visualization for this project needed to show what No. 2 Road would look like after the widening between Steveston Highway and London Road was finished. Our team took photos from 5 specific locations to so the surroundings in the rendering could be accurate.
