Select has been involved with the Neighbourhood Renewal Projects in Beaumont since 2017. During this time we have developed a great working relationship and trust with the City. Select’s project team have proven to a great asset bringing the projects in on budget and on time.
The program typically includes full concrete replacements with asphalt overlays as well as full roadway reconstructions in mature neighbourhoods. A two-tone decorative sidewalk, roadway median with LED streetlights have also been incorporated. Catch basins are often added to roadways to increase pick up locations and relieve flooding issues.
Select worked with the prime contractor to develop a successful traffic accommodation strategy and ensure garbage collection was maintained. Resident access disruptions were kept to a minimum and pedestrian access was maintained. Due to very poor sub-soil conditions, alternative sub-structures were assessed on-site to determine workable solutions to construct a long-term pavement structure.
Project Challenges:
- Resident access and construction staging
- Poor soil conditions and high groundwater table
- Traffic accommodation strategies
- Coordination of shallow utility (AltaGas/Telus Fiber) relocations
