Mechanized River Valley Access project 

 

Live Project Update: July 9th 2016

Project Overview:

Lafarge Precast Edmonton has been awarded the supply and installation contract for precast deck panels and architectural benches on the Mechanized River Valley Access project that will make the Edmonton river valley more accessible.  

 
 
The precast deck panels will be fabricated and installed by Lafarge Precast Edmonton and will provide a stay in place forming system for the casting of the bridge that will gently slope down to overlook the edge of the river.   Lafarge Precast Edmonton will also be supplying the Architectural Precast Benches that will be placed by the contractor around the project and down the stairs.
 
 
Lafarge Precast Edmonton has the expertise to meet the challenges found in any construction project. With more than 40 years of precast experience, no project is too big, too small, too specialized or too challenging for Lafarge.

 The individual precast components:

 

Due to the speed at which our crews install operate, the production of each individual precast concrete components at our Edmonton facility must start well in advance of our commencement on site. Our project management team works hand in hand with the main contractor to schedule the production of every precast concrete component ahead of time, ensuring that the entire package is ready for shipping as soon as the individual sections are required on the job site. 

 
 

 

 Architectural Precast Concrete Benches

These architectural precast concrete benches were designed and engineered in a variety of sizes, each one has a sandblasted surface finish.

One of the primary reasons precast concrete was selected for this project because of cost and speed of construction. All Precast concrete components were made off site as shown above and delivered to the project on a "just in time" basis, all shipments were efficiently and conveniently coordinated between Lafarge and the main contractor to ensure the tight project timelines were met.
