PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS--------
- Provencher Paired Bridges - Winnipeg, Manitoba
The Provencher Paired Bridges replaced an aging steel bridge structure. Wardrop was retained to provide technical assistance to the City of Winnipeg for the development of several conceptual designs of which, through public consultation, the paired bridges (separate vehicle and pedestrian bridges) concept was selected.
The Vehicle Bridge is a 270-m-long, four-lane bridge designed in accordance to the latest AASHTO Load Resistance Factored Design Specification. Two alternatives were designed and tendered. The lowest priced alternative was a five-span, continuous, precast concrete, trapezoidal box girder design. This design utilizes segmental construction techniques and discrete posttensioning methods to make the superstructure continuous. Innovative designs for the piers minimized construction costs for the foundations. Galvanized reinforcement was used for the lower and upper deck reinforcement layers.
The Pedestrian Bridge is a 220-m-long (equivalent 440-m-long) asymmetric, cable-stayed bridge structure. The main span is 110 m (equivalent 220 m) long. SCOPE OF SERVICES:
Conceptual designs of four different alternatives Preliminary design of the selected paired bridges alternative Detailed design Contract administration Resident engineering services Budget and cost control Project scheduling and management

- Water Pollution Control Plant, Secondary Treatment Facilities, Thunder Bay, Ontario
In January 2000, the City of Thunder Bay engaged the team of Reid Crowther and Wardrop Engineering, to complete the design of Secondary Effluent Treatment at their existing Atlantic Avenue Water Pollution Control Plant. The plant previously provided enhanced primary treatment, phosphorus removal, and seasonal disinfecting prior to treated effluent discharge. This project involved the addition of Biological Aerated Filtration secondary treatment, Dissolved Air Flotation for thickening of secondary sludge, an expansion to the polymer addition system, and a significant upgrade to the pumping capacity of the Main Influent Pump Station. The design was completed in May 2002, with commissioning scheduled in the fall of 2004. SCOPE OF SERVICES:
The project design included four major components, as follows:
Influent Pump Station: Three new pumps will be installed and one pump refurbished to provide a firm capacity of 750 ML/d. Biological Aerated Filtration (BAF) Facility: Secondary treatment will be accomplished by a facility with fifteen BAF units eight Carbonaceous, six Nitrification, one spare each 107 m2 with 3.9 metres of media depth. The facility also included an intermediate pumping station, primary effluent screens, backwash supply and waste tanks, and associated process blowers, electrical service and heating and ventilation ancillary components. Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Sludge Thickening Facility: Four DAF thickeners will be constructed in the retired primary clarifier tankage. A superstructure will be placed over the units to provide weather protection. In the adjacent space, process ancillary items and other support services, including odour control, will be located. Dewatering Polymer Facility: The existing polymer system will be replaced by new, larger units located in an expansion to the dewatering building.
- Central Train Control System for PATH - World Trade Center Link, Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, Jersey City, New Jersey
As part of the restoration of subway service to New Yorks World Trade Center following the terrorist attacks in September 2000, the Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) contracted for the replacement of train control and signalling infrastructure between Exchange Place station on the New Jersey shore of the Hudson River and a new World Trade Center station in lower Manhattan. Wardrops portion of the project was to design and implement the central train control (CTC) system for this subway link. The system consists of a network of control computers located in three separate control centers. These computers receive status information from, and output controls to, non-vital logic controllers in the field, which in turn monitor and control the wayside switch and signal equipment. The CTC provides a visual representation of the subway system showing the status of all tracks, switches, and signals and the position of all trains. It allows operators to control the establishment of routes and the movement of trains through the various switch and signal interlockings. It also features an integrated facility to dispatch trains automatically according to established schedules. The central control system is based on Wardrops proprietary Train Movement Manager (TMM). FUNCTION:
The system provides computerized monitoring and control for the reconstructed portions of the PATH subway system. It facilitates automatic operation of the system, yet permits transit operators to maintain scheduled train service by routing trains efficiently and safely around obstructions such as disabled equipment or maintenance work crews. This is a mission-critical and safety-critical application. SCOPE OF SERVICES:
Complete software design, development, integration, testing, and commissioning on site, as well as training of PATH personnel in the operation and maintenance of the system. PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
Real time graphical display of the subway lines in the system showing the status of all switch and signal equipment and current track occupancies. Recording of all system events and state changes, with a facility to play back past operating scenarios for purposes of analysis and training. Data base-driven design makes system easily configurable to adapt to a wide variety of different field equipment and railway operating procedures. Advanced human-machine interface to enable operators to recognize and to respond quickly and safely to special situations. Stand-alone test and training simulator. Redundant, fault-tolerant design.
