In 2008, an integrated team of experienced Tulloch professional was required to manage the rehabilitation of the Boyne River Bridge on behalf of the township of Lake of Bays, requiring analysis of the existing structure, engineering surveys, environmental assessment, and detailed design.  The project was funded through the Canada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (COMRIF).

A team of skilled engineers and technologists conducted a hydraulic analysis of the existing structure, an assessment of design alternatives relating to fish and migration measures as well as a class environmental assessment.  All necessary regulatory approvals were obtained through the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Transport Canada and local agencies.  We offered first-rate project management and construction supervision to ensure the ongoing success of the project.  Construction activities included:

• underpinning at the bridge abutments
• reconstruction of the embankments and retaining walls
• replacement of the abutment rock protection
• removal of the existing bridge wearing surface
• construction of a new reinforced concrete slab deck over the existing deck
• approach grade improvements
• replacement of existing safety measures
