Case Study: Grierson Hill LRT Slope Stabilization (Edmonton, AB) The Grierson Hill project faced significant challenges due to an unstable slope, difficulties with revegetation, and multiple unsuccessful attempts by the initial contractor to restore this iconic landmark. With slopes exceeding 70 degrees, the project called for advanced engineering solutions and innovative materials. How has NPA geocell technology effectively addressed these challenges?

A $2 billion investment in Baltimore’s future is underway with the rebuild of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Expected to open by October 2028, the new bridge will replace the original structure, which collapsed in March 2024 after being struck by a disabled container vessel. Phase one of the design-build contract is being led by Kiewit and includes topographic and underwater surveys, soil sampling, and geotechnical exploration. In collaboration with engineering experts from WSP in the U.S., RK&K, and Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, the new infrastructure will strengthen the region’s port capabilities and ensure safer travel through the Patapsco River. Learn more about the initial progress being made on this critical rebuild.

The Norwegian Coastal Administration - Kystverket (NCA) announced global consulting firm COWI – based in #Denmark – will assist NCA in #construction of the Stad Ship Tunnel as a technical advisor. Dubbed the ‘world’s first ship #tunnel’, the Stad Ship Tunnel in Vestland county, #Norway, was greenlit in 2021 with an allocation of NOK2.7 billion (US$245 million). “With Cowi on board, we have secured a skilled partner who will assist us with the ship tunnel,” said Terje Skjeppestad, the NCA project manager for the scheme. “[Cowi] will be with us until the tunnel is fully constructed, meaning through both preparatory work and in the #tendering, #design, construction, and completion phases.” According to NCA, Cowi will assist with #engineering work and #consulting in all necessary #technical disciplines including #geotechnics, #geology, #structures, technical installations, corrosion, #sustainability/environment, and health, safety, and environment (HSE). A range for the value of the agreement was estimated at $2.7-$8.2 million, which also includes an option for temporary staffing. With the staffing option, the contract has a maximum value of $13.6 million. Norway-based SINTEF (research and development) and LONGVAS OPPMÅLING (surveying) were named as subcontractors. The possibility of a tunnel through the mountains of the Stad peninsula has been debated for decades, but a construction plan was first included in Norway’s National Transport Plan in 2013. The Stad Ship Tunnel, located at the western tip of Norway, will offer haven to ships navigating the most exposed stretch of sea on the country’s coast. The surrounding waters, the Stadhavet Sea, is said to be the most windswept part of the nation’s coastline with storms approximately 100 days of the year, which leads to ships waiting days to pass. Currents created by the meeting point of the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea also complicate navigation. The tunnel will create a canal bypass near Kjøde on the east end, and, on the west end, the tunnel will open between Eide and Berstad. The proposed tunnel will be 1.7-km long, 50-m high and 36-m wide, which is large enough for coastal cruise ships to navigate. Construction of the tunnel is likely to be undertaken using conventional blasting methods, utilising #underground drilling rigs and pallet #rigs.

From feasibility to earthworks, PTG Consulting has been deeply involved in shaping the future of SkyRidge since 2022. Over the life of the project, we've completed a broadscale geotechnical investigation and slope stability analysis, essential for ensuring the safe and efficient development of this 350-hectare greenfield site. Now, our colleagues over at Protest CMT are bringing their expertise to Level 1 supervision for bulk earthworks, helping to prepare the site for the construction of 3,500 residential dwellings. This work is critical for a project of this size and complexity. Our geotechnical engineers are focused on providing sustainable, tailored solutions that meet the unique challenges of the east-facing slopes of the Gold Coast. Take a look at our drone footage to see the impressive progress of this transformative project that will welcome 10,000 residents to their new homes in South East Queensland. #GeotechnicalEngineering #SkyRidgeDevelopment #PTGConsulting #GrowWithPTG #NewHomes #Development #HousingDevelopment

Any guesses where we are today? Teamwork is definitely making the dream work here, as here in the south west we have utilised our colleagues in South Wales with certain restricted access technique skills to come and undertake piling works for a new conservatory base for a domestic dwelling. It’s not always big developments, but it’s just as rewarding! #teamwork Nice views eh? #restrictedaccess #minipiling #vibratingmole #grundomat #foundations #piling #drivenpiles #civilengineering #groundworks #engineering #geotechnics #geotechnical #geotechnicalengineering #engineers #structuralengineering.
