Shediac River Bridge No. 1.5, Shediac River, New Brunswick

GEMTEC’s multi-disciplinary team designed a two-lane, six-span bridge structure spanning 218 metres across the Shediac River. This new bridge is part of the Route 11 twinning project. The bridge Piers are supported on 1800 mm diameter rock socketed caissons, the North Abutment is founded directly on bedrock and the South Abutment is founded on driven H piles to bedrock.

Services on this project included:

• Geotechnical investigation (Land and Barge Drilling)
• Foundation design
• Embankment settlement and stability analyses
• Substructure and superstructure design
• Dynamic pile testing using our PDA
• Caisson rock socket inspection using our downhole camera
• Embankment settlement monitoring
• Engineering support during construction
