Lafarge Precast Edmonton

Taylor Drive Intersection expansion Red Deer by Lafarge Precast Edmonton

Taylor Drive Intersection, Red Deer

Live Project Update: June 2017

Project Overview:

Lafarge Precast Edmonton is proud to be part of the construction team building the new Taylor Drive Intersection expansion project, Red Deer, Alberta.

The intersection at  Taylor Drive is currently under construction to implement a new design to accommodate increased traffic flow in the future. The upgrades to this intersection are in preparation for the Southpointe Junction development and as part of the future configuration for the Taylor Drive / Gaetz Avenue / Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway interchange. The construction design elements of this project incorporated 24 of our 2m deep 40m long precast concrete NU girders, and the installation of these girders is spread across four phases spanning through 2017 and into 2018.

 Stage 1, Production of the precast NU girder:

 

Due to the speed at which our crews install structures that incorporate precast products, the production of our individual precast 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 project is ready for shipping as soon as the individual sections are required on the job site.

One of the primary reasons precast concrete NU girders were 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.
