MONTREAL, Jan. 9, 2023
/CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:SNC), a
fully integrated professional services and project management
company with offices around the world, was awarded a design and
engineering contract to replace the Shepard Broad Causeway bridge
in south Florida. The project will
provide multi-modal safety improvements, increase mobility, enhance
hurricane evacuation capability and ease daily and seasonal
congestion by replacing the aging bascule bridge with a bridge that
meets current design standards and is consistent with United States
Coast Guard (USCG) regulations.
"Our longstanding expertise in the transportation sector
enables us to tailor our capabilities thereby helping our clients
develop safer, more reliable, customer focused solutions that solve
today's problems while also considering future demands," said
Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief
Executive Officer, SNC-Lavalin.
Under the multi-year contract, SNC-Lavalin will serve as
the prime consultant on the project, providing the feasibility and
environmental study, development of both concept plan and full
design packages and construction engineering and inspection (CEI)
services. The team will focus on minimizing project delays and
ensuring schedule efficiency.
"Using innovative digital technology tools, such as
rendering visualizations and digital twin 3D modeling, we help our
clients fully explore all the conceptual design options," said
George Nash, CEO, Atkins North America. "Our team has a
comprehensive knowledge of Florida's goals, policies and initiatives and
are well positioned to deliver a new bridge and accessible causeway
that is safe, sustainable and will serve the community's needs for
decades."
The Shepard Broad Causeway bridge plays a critical role in
facilitating traffic between the beaches and mainland Miami-Dade County over the navigable
Intracoastal Waterway. The Company has successfully delivered
several similar Florida based
projects including I-75 over the Caloosahatchee River, I-275
Howard Frankland Bridge over
Tampa Bay, the Cortez Bridge over
the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the I-4/Selmon Expressway
Connector interchange.
