C O M / H E A D S T A R T 2 0 1 6 Editor's viewpoint Winter 2017 Table of Contents By Mark Buckshon Interim editor, Canadian Design and Construction Report I enjoy the misleading ostrich allegory: If you bury your head in the sand (like an ostrich) you’ll be run over by the fast changing and moving forces around you. This belies the fact that the ungainly African bird, with rather large eggs, has survived quite well through the eons. Maybe the ostriches know more than we about survival (and there is an explanation for the head burying - see below). Clearly, there are rather serious dangers in not being aware of our environment and adapting to it. Technolog- ical changes are moving at an amazing pace. These give me hope for a really bright future ahead. For example, solar energy has started to become ra- tionally economic in many market/climate conditions - and this is without artificial government incentives and prop-ups. Wind turbines have also become an important business. The electronic car has become a high-end in- demand product (Telsa). And building technologies have advanced to the point in Europe where extremely large structures are designed and built to consume virtually no energy, be comfortable for users, and economic to maintain (Passive House.) The world is changing. Publishers like me also need to see the changes, and I think the evolving direction to primarily electronic media, supported by low-run print-on-demand services, such as for Canadian Design and Construction Report, will become the new norm. Yet maybe the ostrich has something on the push for change. Because these birds don’t actually bury their heads in the sand, according to National Geographic Kids. (Amazing how grown-ups sometimes have to check kids’ literature to figure out the facts.) “Ostriches don’t bury their heads in the sand – they wouldn’t be able to breathe! But they do dig holes in the dirt to use as nests for their eggs. “Several times a day, a bird puts her head in the hole and turns the eggs. So it really does look like the birds are burying their heads in the sand!” We can certainly emulate the ostrich, carefully tending our business “eggs” by respecting, nurturing and encour- aging healthy growth and adaptation.

UBC’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture to host LafargeHolcim Awards for Sustainable Construction jury Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer University of British Columbia’s (UBC) School of Archi- tecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA) will host the North American jury to judge the fifth International Lafarge- Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction this June. The awards are an activity of the LafargeHolcim Foundation. “We are honoured to host the North American regional jury of the largest global design competition so closely aligned with the design and sustainability leadership values at the core of our school,” SALA director Ron Kellett said in a statement. “LafargeHolcim Foundation has chosen only SALA and MIT as its partners in North America which demonstrates the calibre of academic rigour applied to the awards.” The jury head will be SALA faculty member Dr. Ray Cole, professor of architecture and former director of SALA, who has been teacher, researcher and thought leader in envi- ronmental issues in architectural design and education for the past 40 years. Other jury members include: • Kevin Daly, founder, Kevin Daly Architects, US; • Paul Fast, founder and partner, Fast & Epp, Canada; • Jeanne Gang, founding principal, Studio Gang, US; • Harry Gugger, professor, architectural and urban de- sign, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzer- land; • Forrest Meggers, assistant professor, Princeton Uni- versity School of Architecture, US; • Jennifer Wolch, dean and professor, College of Envi- ronmental Design, University of California-Berkeley, US; and • Marc Angélil, professor of architecture and design, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland. In June, the jury will review all North American entries in Main and Next Generation (under age 30) categories and will consider the merits of each for awards based on five target issues for sustainable construction: • Progress – Innovation and transferability • People – Ethical standards and social inclusion • Planet – Resource and environmental performance • Prosperity – Economic viability and compatibility • Place – Contextual and aesthetic impact LafargeHolcim says notable past Canadian award winners are: • Nader Tehrani- NADAA: Heritage Reframed/ University building renovation and extension - Toronto, ON • Mason White – Lateral: Regional food gathering nodes and logistics network - Iqaluit, NU • John Gunn- Laurentian University: Living with Lakes Center for freshwater restoration and research - Sud- bury, ON The competition is open to projects in architecture, building and civil engineering, landscape architecture and urban design.

Massive punitive anti-dumping du- ties introduced last September have been rolled back, replaced by a lower and more sustainable levy that allows the single western Canadian gypsum board producer to remain competi- tive, while contractors receive signifi- cant relief for the burdens they faced in fulfilling pre-existing contracts at the pre-dumping duty prices. The story erupted when drywall contractors and distributors discov- ered that the Canadian Border Serv- ices Agency (CBSA) would immediately impose the punitive pro- visional anti-dumping duties on U.S. manufactured gypsum board distrib- uted in western Canada. The duties were set at varying rates, depending on the manufacturer, but at the highest level would reach 276 per cent. The new charges sent shockwaves through the industry. Neil Pollock, a Calgary drywall con- tractor and spokesperson for the Western Canada Alliance of Wall and Ceiling Contractors (WCAWCC), said the CBSA collected more than $4.9 million in duties in the first six weeks from when the duties were imposed on Sept. 6. Prices spiked 30 to 50 per cent, and distributors reported supply shortages nationwide, as the higher costs and shortages spurred the gen- erally uneconomic distribution of the building material from eastern to western Canada. CertainTeed Gypsum Canada, which operates the only functioning 6 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Canadian drywall manufacturing plant in western Canada (in Delta, B.C.) had complained last spring that U.S. man- ufacturers were dumping their drywall into the Canadian market – that is sell- ing the product in Canada at prices significantly less than they were in their home markets. In June, the CBSA reported its in- vestigation validated CertainTeed’s claims, finding that two major U.S. producers – Georgia Pacific and U.S. Gypsum – were undercutting the Canadian industry by dumping their product. However, the shockwaves only hit when the CBSA started imposing the provisional duties in September. There was a political outcry as homebuilders, distributors and drywall contractors lamented the higher costs – especially painful in Fort McMurray, recovering from the disastrous fire earlier in the year – and for contractors who had signed fixed price contracts with their clients. They were now locked into money losing agreements that could bankrupt their businesses. The government responded by ask- ing the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) to review the matter. Hearings in Edmonton in November outlined the scale of the problem – and the beginnings of a solution. CertainTeed representatives, while pressing the case that there has been a significant dumping problem, pro- posed that provisions be imple- mented to provide interim relief to contractors with fixed price agree- ments, and that a special exemption be made for Ft. McMurray. These understandings were re- flected in the CITT ruling issued Jan. 4, which rolled back the duties to 43 per cent, allowed for transitional arrangements, and called for the gov- ernment to refund the punitive duties imposed while the provisional tariffs were in place. The tribunal ruled the dumping did “cause injury” to the Canadian indus- try, though it also said in a report for finance minister Bill Morneau that full imposition of provisional duties wouldn’t be in the national interest. Enacting provisional duties in their full amount “has or will substantially reduce competition” in Canada’s western regions and “cause signifi- cant harm to consumers of those goods or to businesses who use them,” the tribunal said in its report to Morneau, who had earlier requested the tribunal fast-track its recommen- dations. It called for the “temporary elimina- tion” of drywall duties by simply re- funding them for a period lasting six months. “Final duties for any co-operating exporters on any export transaction in- volving subject gypsum board to Canada should not exceed 43 per cent of the export price at any time on and after the earlier of July 5, 2017, or the date the subject imports reach a max- imum volume of 229 million sq. ft., a reduced rate which should allow ei- ther U.S. exports or domestic ship- ments from eastern Canada to continue to supply the western Cana- dian market,” the CITT ruling said. “We will make it a priority to act quickly and respond to the tribunal’s recommendations,” finance depart- ment spokesman Paul Duchesne said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News. Dumping concerns are “particularly serious given the risk of delays around reconstruction efforts in Fort McMur- ray,” Duchesne said in the email to merk@merx.com Bloomberg. The ruling says “that, if the govern- ment considers the measures men- tioned above as insufficiently alleviating the hardship suffered by certain residents of the Regional Mu- nicipality of Wood Buffalo (the Fort McMurray region) as a result of the May 2016 wildfires, and considering the consent by the domestic industry to a special remission in connection with the Fort McMurray region, the government should grant a special re- mission in an amount equivalent to the dumping duties collected on gyp- sum board specifically used for the re- building of the Fort McMurray region, on terms and conditions that ensure that the end users or consumers ben- efitting from the measure do not pay more than the amount that they would have paid for that gypsum board in the absence of duties. This special re- mission should cover subject im- ported gypsum board which is specifically linked to the reconstruc- tion effort, and is purchased and in- stalled between Sept. 6, 2016, and Dec. 31, 2019.” Drywall contractors, represented by the WCAWCC, say they are happy with the CITT tribunal’s decision. “We thank the tribunal for their ex- tensive study into the impact of anti- dumping duties on the construction sector across western Canada and on the Canadian economy,” said Pollock. The CITT findings reflect testimony before the tribunal late last year demonstrating the adverse impact of the sharp and unexpected price hikes caused by the imposition of prelimi- nary anti-dumping duties (PD) on con- tracts, letters of intent (LOIs) and bids www.merx.com based on pre-PD pricing, the industry group said in a statement. The contractors group says in a news release that the tribunal’s rec- ommendations go a significant way to alleviating the harm from the duties. “Our group is very pleased and en- couraged by the tribunal’s finding and we’re really happy with what has come down,” Pollock said in an inter- view. “The minister (Bill Morneau) stepped up to the plate and did a great job by recognizing the harm coming down on the contractors.” Pollock said the only concern is the six-month exemption may not be long enough for some contractors with longer fixed-price contracts. Some in the commercial sector extend to 12, 18 or 24 months. He said the alliance hopes the “government will take a look at that and increase it.” “We look forward to reviewing the tribunal’s reasons and we strongly encourage the government to imme- diately implement the recommenda- tions,” Pollock said in a statement. “To maintain our industry’s economic via- bility, western Canada’s construction industry must be predictable and sta- ble. We cannot be hit by significant overnight product cost increases that will put our livelihoods at risk.” Meanwhile, the union representing CertainTeed workers says it also is happy with the CITT decision. The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, representing 120 em- ployees, said in a statement that union members “can breathe a collec- tive sign of relief knowing their jobs are secure.” www.merx.com/events The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 7 THE CITT DECISION: Reducing the anti-dumping tariff burden on drywall manufacturers, distributors and contractors Here is the text of the ruling released Jan. 4, 2017 by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) relating to the punitive anti-dumping gypsum board duties levied provi- sionally by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) on Sept. 6, 2016. This report completes an inquiry by the Canadian Inter- national Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) to determine whether the imposition of provisional duties or duties applicable to gypsum board imported from the United States for markets in Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon and the Northwest Territories is contrary to Canada’s economic, trade or commercial interests, and specifically whether such an imposition has or would have the effect of substantially reducing competition in those markets or causing significant harm to consumers of those goods or to businesses who use them. The inquiry was referred to the tribunal on Oct. 13, 2016, by His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Finance, pursuant to section 18 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act. The Governor General in Council directed that the Tribunal report to the Governor General in Council on those matters no later than Jan. 4, 2017, and submit to the Governor Gen- eral in Council, within 15 days after that date, its findings and recommendations on any remedy that could be taken. It is a well recognized feature of the trade remedy sys- tem that imposing anti-dumping and/or countervailing du- ties on a particular good will affect the Canadian market 8 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report price and may impose higher costs on the downstream in- dustry that uses those goods. However, there may be con- sequences on the downstream industry that are either unintended or unwanted. This inquiry process provided a public forum for interested parties to express their con- cerns and inform the Tribunal of their views or experience about unintended or unwanted consequences that arose from the imposition of the provisional duties and that might arise from the imposition of final duties. It also allowed them to present the options that they favoured and be- lieved viable to deal with any unintended downstream con- sequences arising from the imposition of the provisional duties and the possible imposition of final duties. After reviewing the documentary and oral evidence pre- sented to the Tribunal, it has come to the conclusion that the imposition of provisional duties or duties applicable to gypsum board imported from the United States for markets in Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon and the Northwest Territories, in its full amount, is contrary to Canada’s economic, trade or commercial inter- ests, and specifically that such an imposition has or will substantially reduce competition in those markets, or cause significant harm to consumers of those goods or to busi- nesses who use them. Accordingly, the Tribunal hereby recommends as fol- lows: • That provisional duties collected be retained by the federal government and used to refund, either wholly or in part, the higher costs for imported and domesti- • • • • cally produced gypsum board purchased since the imposition of the provisional duties on Sep- tember 6, 2016, up to but not including January 4, 2017; That all of the final duties imposed on cooperat- ing exporters be remitted to them through a sim- plified process until the earlier of a) six months, from the date of this report, i.e. from January 4, 2017, up to and including July 4, 2017, or b) the date the subject imports reach a maximum vol- ume of 229 million square feet, allocated on the basis of historical export shares; this temporary elimination of the duties would give time for the downstream market participants (especially dry- wall installers) to perform existing fixed-price con- tracts and, going forward, to give them an opportunity to reflect the duties in new contracts; That final duties for any cooperating exporters on any export transaction involving subject gypsum board to Canada should not exceed 43 percent of the export price at any time on and after the ear- lier of July 5, 2017, or the date the subject im- ports reach a maximum volume of 229 million square feet, a reduced rate which should allow ei- ther U.S. exports or domestic shipments from Eastern Canada to continue to supply the West- ern Canadian market; That, considering the limited amount of data available to the Tribunal at the time of the inquiry in GC-2016-001, the reduced final duty be re- viewed at the appropriate time; and That, if the Government considers the measures mentioned above as insufficiently alleviating the hardship suffered by certain residents of the Re- gional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (the Fort Mc- Murray region) as a result of the May 2016 wildfires, and considering the consent by the do- mestic industry to a special remission in connec- tion with the Fort McMurray region, the Government grant a special remission in an amount equivalent to the dumping duties col- lected on gypsum board specifically used for the rebuilding of the Fort McMurray region, on terms and conditions that ensure that the end users or consumers benefitting from the measure do not pay more than the amount that they would have paid for that gypsum board in the absence of du- ties. This special remission should cover subject imported gypsum board which is specifically linked to the reconstruction effort, and is pur- chased and installed between Sept. 6, 2016, and Dec. 31, 2019. The reasons for its findings and recommendations will be issued within 15 days from this date. The ruling was signed by presiding member Serge Fréchette, and members Jean Bédard and Jason W.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 11 The silica dust hazard What is it and why should I be concerned? 12 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Every year an esti- mated 2.3 million workers out of a global workforce of approximately 3.5 billion die as a re- sult of work related accidents and in- cidents. An estimated 160 million suffer as a consequence of work re- lated diseases with some two million dying from these diseases annually. It is estimated five per cent of all cancer cases may be work related. In terms of the deaths from work activities, about eight per cent can be directly attributed to respiratory dis- eases namely silicosis, pneumoconio- sis, asbestos related diseases (ARD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disor- ders (COPD), occupational asthma, metal-lung disease and organic dust diseases. Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) is an abundantly found naturally occur- ring substance found in stone, rocks (marble, sandstone, flint, slate), sand and clay, as well as in products rang- ing from brick, concrete, tiles, some composite materials and some metal- lic ores to shingles, mortar and plas- ter. Less harmful forms of silica dust are amorphous form such as those found in diatomaceous earth, syn- thetic amorphous silica or silica gel. These are not believed to lead to sili- Type of Material Crystalline Silica (%) Tripoli Sandstone Plastic Composites* Road Rock Concrete / Mortar Shale China Stone Granite Tile Slate Clay Brick Ironstone Basalt / Dolerite Limestone Marble 95+% 70 - 90% 19 - 90% Up to 80% 25 – 70% 40 – 60% Up to 50% 20 – 45% 30 – 45% 20 – 40% Up to 40% Up to 30% Up to 15% Up to 15% Up to 2% Up to 2% cosis, lung cancer or other known common disease associated with RCS. However, it is possible to chemi- cally change amorphous silica above 1300 o C into RCS such as when calcin- ing (roasting or exposing to strong heat) or welding using acetylene at greater than 3100 o C. Diatomaceous earth, as well as burning agricultural waste, can at these temperatures change into a harmful form. This is im- portant in scenarios involving demol- ishing silos or receptacles which may have been used to store rice husk. When and at what quantity is RCS harmful? RCS is harmful to health when it is inhaled deep into the lungs, therefore activities such as drilling, cutting and crushing are where we have to be more careful. The dust that is particu- larly harmful is smaller than a fine grain of sand. To put this into perspec- tive, the size of a full stop is about 200-300 m (micrometres) in diameter, whereas the RCS dust is about 5 m. These particles are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Those involved in demolition of older building and facilities can be ex- posed to bricks which have higher sil- ica content due to high levels of sand and limestone, including sand-lime bricks, concrete blocks, cellular con- crete, masonry rubble, natural stone and blast furnace slag bricks. If a person is exposed to a high level of RCS, the effects of harm and onset of silicosis can start from as lit- tle as a few weeks of exposure, as was the case in the Hawks Nest Tun- nel Disaster in the 1930s. In this case, thousands of workers were exposed to particularly high grades of silica dust during the construction of a tun- nel, in restricted areas with no per- sonal protection. This led to many workers developing an acute form of silicosis within a matter of weeks and resulted in their untimely deaths. This figure is an under-estimate and the ac- tual number could have been many thousand workers from one incident. The table below gives a range of RCS content in certain materials found on demolition sites, either in pure form or within other materials. In the case of plastic composites silica may be used as filler. Regulatory authorities have set standards based on the maximum ex- posure levels before there is likely to be significant harm. In the UK, this is defined as a Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL) of 0.1mg/m 3 based on an eight-hour working shift. This rate is lower in countries such as Canada where the The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 13 occupational exposure limit at a fed- eral level is 0.025mg/m 3 . Exposure needs to be monitored and the health of workers kept under surveillance to ensure levels are not harmful. Visual sight is not effective to determine dangerous levels – as by the time you observe a dust cloud, lev- els are already likely to be far in ex- cess of the WEL of 0.1mg/m 3 . What happens to those exposed? Unlike asbestos, where it may take anywhere between 10 to 50 years to manifest, symptoms for silicosis can start within extremely short periods of time. Individual susceptibility is based on a number of factors including the amount of dust, its size, respiratory protective equipment worn, the indi- vidual’s overall health status, and whether the person is a smoker - to name but a few. Silica dust is one of the world’s most significant causes of occupa- tional disease with an estimated 46,000 deaths globally in 2013. Occupational respiratory diseases – Silicosis The name silicosis is derived from the Latin word Silex or flint. However, it has been known under many other previous names including ‘grinder’s asthma’, ‘potters rot’ and ‘miner’s ph- thisis’. Its recognition goes back to the time of the Greeks and Romans, who spoke of respiratory problems from breathing in dust. With the dawn of industrialization, many new devices were introduced including pneumatic hammer drills in 1897 and sandblasting in 1904, which led to a steady rise in silicosis preva- lence. While we don’t have specific data for Canada overall, these are some numbers from other countries: Silicosis is defined as an occupa- tional lung disease classed as a pneu- Healthy Lung Early stages Late stages Above image shows the progressive worsening of lung tissue in black lung which is also a form of pneumoconiosis like Silicosis moconiosis and is marked by inflam- mation and scaring of the upper lobes of the lungs in the form of nodular le- sions. In acute (short term, severe or sud- den) form the symptoms are typically bluish skin, breath shortness, cough and fever. It is not uncommon for this to be misdiagnosed as pulmonary oedema (water on the lungs), pneu- monia or Tuberculosis. Symptoms can continue to develop even after expo- sure has stopped. Exposure to RCS dust can also cause: • chronic bronchitis; • lung cancer; • pulmonary fibrosis; • rheumatoid arthritis; • scleroderma; • systemic lupus erythematosus; • autoimmune antibodies; • and a variety of other conditions associated with exposure. Based on the above conditions it is conceivable many persons exposed to RCS dust may go on to develop other conditions other than silicosis.

We know that RCS is harmful to health and also know that there is a level that is considered safe. If the threat of exposure to RCS cannot be eliminated altogether then there are a few control measures that may work. It is estimated that silica related lung cancer could drop to 100 a year (cur- rently circa 800 in the UK) if more legal compliance is instigated, including the points raised below. To ensure compliance with your various legislative requirements you should follow the local rules. Here we will adopt guidelines from the UK Health & Safety Executive based on compliance with the Control of Sub- stances Hazardous to Health Regula- tions 2002 (COSHH) requirements: — Assess — Control — Review Assess (the risks) Assess the risks linked to the work and materials. High dust levels are caused by one or more of the following: Task – high-energy tools like cut-off saws, grinders and grit blasters pro- duce a lot of dust in a very short time; Work area – the more enclosed a space, the more the dust will build up. However, do not assume that dust lev- els will be low when working outside with high-energy tools; Time – the longer the work takes the more dust there will be; Frequency – regularly doing the same work day after day increases the risks Control (the risks) For operatives tasked with specific activities where RCS could become airborne, options of using mechanical equipment such as remote controlled rock-breaker or other means to pro- vide some degree of separation be- tween the workers, can be used. In some cases, the means can be as simple as dousing with a water stream and standing upwind. Other techniques such as hydro-demolition can be adopted and certainly from safety and an environmental element, can be beneficial in terms of dust sup- pression but can introduce a number of other hazards. Use the following measures to control the risk. Stop or reduce the dust before work starts, look at ways of stopping or reducing the amount of dust you might make. Use different materials, less powerful tools or other work methods. For example, you could use: • The right size of building materials so less cutting or preparation is needed; • silica-free abrasives to reduce the risks when blasting; • a less powerful tool; or • a different method of work alto- gether. Control the dust Even if you stop some dust this way, you may do other work that could still produce high dust levels. In these cases, the most important action is to stop the dust getting into the air. There are two main ways of doing this: • Water – water damps down dust clouds. However, it needs to be used correctly. This means enough water supplied at the right levels for the whole time that the work is being done. Just wet- ting the material beforehand does not work. • On-tool extraction – removes dust as it is being produced. It is a type of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system that fits directly onto the tool. This ‘system’ consists of several individual parts – the tool, capturing hood, extraction unit and tubing. Use an extraction unit to the correct specification (i.e. H (High) M (Medium) or L (Low) Class filter unit). Do not sweep. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency HEPA filter. Don’t use a general com- mercial vacuum. Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) Before considering RPE there are various considerations ranging from the type and duration of activities. It is far easier and more efficient generally speaking in using engineering con- trols to protect a wider range of work- ers than ill-fitting RPE which may give a false sense of security and actually endanger the lives of wearers. Water or on-tool extraction may not always be appropriate or they might not reduce exposure enough. Often respiratory protection (RPE) has to be provided as well. You will need to make sure that the RPE is: • Adequate for the amount and type The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 15 Common RPE for use with construction dust **APF level for common RPE types for construction dust Common type of RPE for use Possible activity during construction/ demolition work 10 FFP2 disposable mask or half mask with P2 filter • Clearing and removing rubble 20 FFP3 disposable mask or half mask with P3 filter or for longer duration work • Cutting and polishing 40 Full face powered respirator with airline and constant air flow • Abrasive blasting • Hand and pneumatic chiselling • Drilling and coring with handheld rotary power tools • Concrete scabbling • Tunnelling and shaft sinking • • • • • • of dust – RPE has an assigned protection factor (APF) which shows how much protection it gives the wearer. The general level for RCS dust is an APF of 40 based on the activity. This means the wearer only breathes one forti- eth of the amount of dust in the air; Suitable for the work – disposable masks or half masks can become uncomfortable to wear for long periods. Powered RPE helps mini- mize this. Consider it when people are work- ing for more than an hour without a break; Compatible with other items of protective equipment; Fits the user. Face fit testing is needed for tight fitting masks; Worn correctly. Anyone using tight fitting masks also needs to be clean shaven. Remember: RPE is the last line of protection. If you are just relying on RPE you need to be able to jus- tify your reasons for this. Review (the controls) You may already have the right con- trols in place, but are they all working properly? Check the controls work by: • Having procedures to ensure that work is done in the right way; • Checking controls are effective. Does the work still seem dusty? You might need to carry out dust 16 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report exposure monitoring; • Involving workers. They can help identify problems and find solu- tions; • Maintaining equipment: follow in- structions in maintenance manu- als; regularly look for signs of damage. Make repairs; replace dis- posable masks in line with manu- facturer’s recommendations; properly clean, store, and maintain non-disposable RPE. Change RPE filters as recommended by the supplier; carry out a thorough ex- amination and test of any on-tool extraction system at least every 14 months (or as specified). • Supervising workers - make sure they use the controls provided; follow the correct work method and attend any health surveillance where it is needed. Health surveillance A health surveillance program will be important to verify that controls are protecting staff. The surveillance pro- gram should be under the direction of a suitably qualified medical personnel and can include pre-employment health screening questionnaire and occupational history questionnaire to set a baseline, coupled with suitable lung function testing and biological ef- fect monitoring to monitor actual ex- posure levels. As a disease, it is possible to diag- nose using patient history, chest x-rays and also ruling out other possible under- lying illnesses that may display similar symptoms such as pulmonary oedema, pneumonia and TB (tuberculosis). Air monitoring Carry out air monitoring to measure the overall amount of silica dust cre- ated at various positions on the work- site and the maximum level of worker exposure (given the use of dust con- trol methods, respirators and other measures). Monitoring will enable the correct selection of dust control meth- ods and respiratory protection. Carry out air monitoring on a regu- lar basis to ensure dust control meth- ods in place remain effective and provide adequate protection for your workers. It is particularly important to Protective clothing It is vital that dusty clothes do not contaminate cars, homes and other areas outside of the worksite. Ensure your workers have disposable or washable clothes to change into at the worksite. Ensure that before your workers leave the worksite they shower (if pos- sible) or wash with water, and then change into clean clothes. Do not allow your workers to take dusty cloth- ing home to wash as it is possible to expose family to harmful levels of RCS dust. carry out air monitoring when new work methods are introduced. Training Provide your workers with train- ing on silica dust. All training should include information about: the health effects of exposure to silica dust; work practices to follow when silica dust is created at a worksite; the appropriate use and care of pro- tective equipment (including protec- tive clothing and respiratory protection). We should all adopt the principals outlined here based on the new global harmonization standards re- quirements for RCS exposure which can be merged into regular tailboard meetings/ tool box talks. Prevention is the best form of protection against silicosis and other illnesses by either complete elimina- tion of the silica dust hazard or by in- troducing suitable engineering controls such as dust control strate- gies using dry air filtering and water spray where dust emanates. That said, each worksite needs to have a comprehensive review of the hazards (risk assessed/ hazard analy- sis/ field level hazard assessment/ job safety analysis – whatever tech- nique is used) and establish suitable and effective risk control measures such as development of an ECP – exposure control plan - coupled with a health surveillance program for all those exposed to respirable crys- talline silica (RCS) dust based on local legislative requirements relat- ing to workplace exposure limits and occupational exposure limits. In conclusion Exposure to RCS is common in a number of sectors and particularly prevalent in demolition and decom- missioning operations. The reality is that silicosis is a non-reversible but avoidable dis- ease. Once you have it, the only cure is therapy to lessen its effects on the body, therefore prevention of expo- sure is the key.

Silica dust: Regulations and controversy challenge construction industry/ government relationships Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The issue of whether there is a need for tightened regulations for sil- ica dust in the construction industry has caused controversy as govern- ment agencies seek to introduce strin- gent respiratory protection and low Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) dust count requirements as a national stan- dard in both the U.S. and Canada. Several states, including California, have drafted their own regulations in concert with the tougher federal guidelines, over the objections of sev- eral industry groups. There has also been controversy in western Canada. The U.S. Department of Labor‘s Oc- cupational Safety and Health Adminis- tration (OHSA) introduced regulation CFR 1926.1153 in 2016, covering con- struction employers. The rules set out respiratory protection requirements depending on the work performed, hours on the job, and whether the work is indoors or outdoors. However, eight construction indus- try organizations filed a petition for re- view of the final crystalline silica rule by the OSHA with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in re- sponse to the regulations. Petitioning groups included: Mis- sissippi Road Builders’ Association, American Subcontractors Association of Texas, Pelican Chapter of Associ- ated Builders and Contractors, Louisiana Associated General Con- tractors, Associated Masonry Contrac- tors of Texas, Distribution Contractors Association, Mechanical Contractors Associations of Texas and Texas Asso- ciation of Builders. The affiliated national organizations of these groups—the American Road and Transportation Builders Associa- tion, American Subcontractors Asso- ciation, Associated Builders and Contractors, the Associated General Contractors of America, Mason Con- tractors Association of America, Me- chanical Contractors Association of America and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)—said they will move to join the petition. The construction industry raised numerous concerns regarding OSHA’s proposal, but the agency failed to ad- dress many of these issues when promulgating the final rule, says a NAHB news release. In particular, the industry presented substantial evi- dence that OSHA’s proposed permis- sible exposure limit (PEL) was technologically and economically in- feasible “The petitioning groups are con- cerned that the agency failed to take into account this evidence and moved forward with the same infeasible PEL in the final rule,” the NAHBA said. “This and other final rule provisions display a fundamental misunderstand- ing of the real world of construction. The construction industry petitioners continue to be active participants in the rule making process and are ded- icated to promoting healthy and safe construction job sites.” Conceivably, the new Trump ad- ministration will move to relax or avoid implementation of the higher stan- dards, in light of the stated policy to reduce regulatory burdens on busi- nesses. The silica dust issue has also been contentious in Canada, especially in British Columbia and Alberta. The Al- berta Construction Association in 2016 created “silica guidelines” and reported that it is “working with the Al- berta Construction Safety Association to develop awareness and supervisor training for 2017.” “Once these practices are well es- tablished on Alberta job sites, ACA plans to test them with OHS (Occupa- tional Health and Safety) to obtain hard evidence to confirm whether the current statutory limit is technically and economically feasible,” the ACA said. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 17 New Ontario “Construction Act” to be released in spring, says Ontario’s attorney general Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer Ontario’s attorney general Yasir Naqvi says the government is moving forward with plans to introduce legis- lation this spring to update the province’s Construction Lien Act and to implement measures to improve dispute resolution and resolve indus- try payment challenges. “It’s a piece of legislation that is ex- tremely important,” he told a gather- ing at the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA) late last year. “It should be called the Con- struction Act, because it regulates how financial action in construction projects takes place.” The government, in preparing to implement recommendations from lawyers Bruce Reynolds and Sharon Vogel’s Construction Lien Act Review, is continuing “consultation with all of you, all of you in the construction sec- tor.” He said he has been meeting “with all the stakeholders and everyone sup- ports the direction of the report, every- one says the report is right, but everyone says the devil is in the de- tails.” (The report submitted to the government in the spring includes 400 pages and 100 recommendations.) Right now, the government is fo- cusing on modernizing the regime about liens and holdbacks, introduc- ing prompt payment regulations and simplifying adjudication. He said the government is co-ordi- nating more than a dozen meetings “with essentially all of the provincially based organizations representing views of the construction sector from all walks of life.” “We’re getting their specific ‘asks’ from their sectors’ view of what is im- portant and what they would like to see or not see in the report.” The gov- ernment is also receiving written sub- missions. “We’re continuing to work with Bruce Reynolds and Sharon Vogel,” Naqvi said. “The advisory group they 18 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report created is affiliated with all the part- ners in the sectors as a check-in point,” he said. “This is so we don’t miss the detail part in consultation, (and) when we are actually writing the legislation we will be writing it in a way that works for you.” “I hope we can bring a modern piece of legislation that can serve as well for years to come,” Naqvi said. “(It will) allow you to run your busi- nesses and things you build, homes and businesses, with less burden and in a manner where (businesses) get paid for the work they do, with more stability and certainty in the construc- tion sector.” In an interview, Naqvi declined to say whether the government will ig- nore or alter some of the Construction Lien Act Review’s recommendations. “We are getting into some of the spe- cific details,” he said. “So, because I’m still getting that feedback, I’m not in a position to tell you what may be out and what will be left in.” “We have to be very mindful that if we take one piece out versus the other piece, what is the impact to the entire system. I’m very mindful of that . . . we don’t unbalance the cart. And we keep coherent systems in place that will work from beginning to end.” At the Construct Canada show in Toronto, a panel group of lawyers rep- resenting different sectors of the de- sign and construction community reviewed the impending legislation that will integrate lien rules, prompt payment requirements and a rapid acting dispute resolution system. “What about the interplay between all that,” asked panel moderator Glenn Ackerley, a construction lawyer and partner at WeirFoulds LLP. “Nowhere else have lien rights and prompt pay- ment rights (been put in the same leg- islation). How do they go together?” The panelists discussed the inter- play between the different industry is- sues and forces – including provisions that would allow for parties to con- tract out of parts of the legislation. TCA president and CEO John Mollen- hauer asked if, for example, a general contractor could insist on a provision that would result in zero interest pay- ments for overdue accounts, defeat- ing one of the remedies if a contractor or owner fails to pay invoices in a timely manner. Ackerley said this would not be the case; the minimum interest rate would be the statutory in- terest set through the provincial courts. However, owners, subcontractors and suppliers could contract for differ- ent invoicing cycles, setting for exam- ple, a quarterly or milestone based model before the downstream sup- plier could issue an invoice. Once that invoice is issued, it would need to be paid within 28 days unless the service purchasers could demonstrate that they, themselves, had not been paid. Other panelists included: Sandra Astolfo, a partner at WeirFoulds LLP, who works largely with subcontrac- tors; Yonni Fushman, vice-president and deputy general counsel at con- tractor Aecon Group Inc.; Jerry Paglia, senior counsel at the Region of York (representing owners); and Charles Simco, partner at Shibley Righton LLP, who represents architects and design- ers. Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) Awards of Excellence True North Labour recognized for association participation Canadian Construction Design and Report special feature True North Labour is a Burnaby- based staffing agency providing skilled workers to trade contractors in the ICI construction industry. Though a small player in the indus- try, and relatively new, True North was nominated recently in the category of Member of the Year in the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) Awards of Excellence. Marc-Antoine Cuerrier, who co- founded the company with Alex Nuhiyev and now acts as CEO, says True North was born out of an aware- ness that temporary agencies often did not have the necessary knowledge to assign the right workers to the right jobs. While modelled after a tempo- rary agency, responsible for placing roughly 90 workers on average a week, True North fulfills that need in specific ways. Cuerrier says True North Labour is challenging stereotypes, refreshing workers’ confidence in temporary agency employment, and working to prove to their clients that skilled, pro- fessional labour can indeed come from a temporary agency. “We’re fo- cused on building a workforce of peo- ple who are skilled, accountable and who are satisfied because they feel like they belong to a community of professionals.” He says building a skilled team starts with skills testing and training before people are brought on board. In-house training, including occupa- tional health and safety training such as fall protection and confined space training follows. “True North Labour employees can sign up for any of our programs and can earn cross-provin- cial certification for free.” Rather than re-inventing the wheel, he says training requirements, or Red Seal, apprenticeship and other spe- cialized training is sourced to the In- dustrial Training Authority (ITA), which allows True North to benchmark em- ployee skill levels based on set and known criteria. He says True North is currently working on developing its own super- visors training because many of its workers end up in these roles. Besides ensuring workers receive good wages and free training, he says an effort is made to create a corporate culture that brings people together and makes them feel part of a com- pany. Training sessions, he says, be- come events and networking opportunities that are fun and engag- ing. “We take the time to show up on construction sites with our staff when they are first assigned to a project to be sure they get introduced, that they know who to talk to and what they are there to do. We also make regular site visits to insure our workers have everything they need to excel on their assignments.” Cuerrier, who is secretary for the VRCA’s U40 committee, says True North tries to be an involved member and present as much as possible. He says he and Nuhiyev were humbled to be nominated. For more information about True North Labour, visit http://truenorth- labour.com/. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 19 CDBI Awards recognize excellence and contributions to design-build profession’s stature Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The Canadian Design-Build Institute (CDBI) annually rec- ognizes excellence in Canada’s design-build industry and acknowledges design-build teams whose projects con- tribute to the growth and stature of the design-build pro- fession. The 2016 awards recognized four distinct projects at the National Design-Build Conference in October. The Sechelt Water Resource Centre in Sechelt, B.C., the grand winner, is described as “a sewage treatment plant, but looks more like an intense hydroponic production cen- tre along with a small office wing. Treatment basins are in fact surmounted by greenhouses and veritable botanical gardens. The choice of the site also allowed for a large park adjoining the facility.” The project team was led by Maple Reinders Inc. and Urban Systems Ltd. “The project owner, District of Sechelt, indicated that they were satisfied that the 23-month con- struction schedule was effectively met considering nego- tiation and risk management delays,” CDBI said in a news release. “The now fully operating facility is exceeding dis- charge permit requirements, covering among others, BOD (biological oxygen demand), odour (0), and noise.” The Communications Security Establishment Canada Long Term Accommodation Project led by PCL Construc- tors Canada Inc. and WZMH Architects won the special uses category. “This P3 project incorporates many great ideas, typical of the design-build approach where builders and designers are at liberty to include what might be thought of as far out suggestions,” the award citation says. “Since the building is a classified secure facility, high levels of security clear- ance were required from all staff and systems were needed to ensure that classified plans, drawings and doc- uments were kept secure.” 20 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “The final complex is remarkable by the striking archi- tectural expression both in the interior and the exterior. It will disprove any opinions that design-build somehow has to limit design to low-cost options and materials.” In the civil category, the winner was the Footbridge over the Bow River in Banff, AB, detailed later in this feature. The Surrey Pretrial Services Centre Expansion, led by PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. and DGBK Architects, won the institutional category. This project required high security conditions, as the site continued in near capacity operation during the expan- sion and updating, used BIM (Building Information Model- ling) to program work and installation priorities as well as visualize construction sequences, including equipment clearances and crane movements, weeks in advance, and succeeded in achieving LEED gold certification, a first among BC correctional facilities.

Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature StructureCraft Builders Inc. has been recognized by the Canadian Design-Build Institute (CDBI) in its 2016 Design- Build Awards of Excellence, presented at the National De- sign-Build Conference in Winnipeg earlier this year, in the civil category for its Footbridge over the Bow River project in Banff, AB. The high profile, highly environmentally sensitive project also included Tritech Water Infrastructure Construction & Design, BSEI Civil Engineering and Fast + Epp Structural Engineers. StructureCraft president Gerald Epp says the footbridge, which also won several international and national awards for engineering and construction innovation, and was de- livered on time and under budget, involved several chal- lenges. “The location is high profile, right in the town of Banff, and within Canada’s oldest national park, thus sub- ject to extreme environmental scrutiny.” Driving the agenda was the pressing concern that exist- ing sanitary pipes installed below the river at this location some 50 years earlier could fail, spilling raw sewage into the river. Besides aesthetic and environmental considera- tions, the bridge needed to carry the new pipes, as well as provide a secondary access for emergency vehicles. He says to respect these and also economic demands to keep the span as short as possible, the team responded by installing piled supports “just outside the normal river channel, yielding a clear span of 80 m, which for timber bridges is one of the longest. The use of natural materials, PHOTO CREDIT PAUL ZIZKA CDBI recognizes StructureCraft for Banff Bow River Footbridge like timber, was a strong desire of the client.” Epp says the location, one of the most stunning in the Rockies, also demanded elegance. He says the team sought to make the bridge as slender as possible, resulting in the main technical challenge – how to deal with potential vibration discomfort. “We created a stepped glulam girder to follow the flow of the forces, very thin in the middle, and developed two custom-made tuned mass dampers which suspend below the bridge deck to offset vibrations from both walking and jogging frequencies,” he said. Construction challenges included carefully drilling piles within the river channel to not disturb the pristine Bow River environment, and erecting the bridge’s three main sections, up to 60 tons each, with a 500-ton crane posi- tioned at 100 per cent capacity over thawing river bank soils. A description on the CDBI website says: “The clear span of 80 metres is one of the longest in the world for a timber bridge. Planning the fabrication of the very long laminated beams to exacting tolerances required finite element analy- sis. Construction staging required careful planning and had to consider seasonal windows and annual high water, as well as crane support for the large inserted center section. The cable guard rail system presented challenges related to the seasonal temperature extremes and the potential elongation/contraction of the cables.” To ensure success, Epp says a parametric 3D model of the entire bridge was created early, allowing rapid investi- gation of a multitude of design decisions, providing visual The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 21 PHOTO CREDIT STRUCTURECRAFT BUILDERS INC. feedback to both the designer and client. “A tight site and harsh winter, coupled with a desire to complete the lifts before spring thaw, made ease and accuracy of assembly in the field critical.” Since the main structural elements of the bridge were too large to be transported to the site and fitting up the pieces over the river with a smaller crane would have pre- sented significant environmental and safety challenges, in- dividual elements were prefabricated in the shop and shipped to site as a kit of parts. “All cutting, drilling, sanding and finishing was per- formed indoors under controlled conditions so that mem- bers are permanently protected. Jigs were built to ensure accurate assembly of the main bridge components on the riverbanks. In all, the entire bridge superstructure was erected in three lifts over two days, with the heaviest as- semblies weighing in at over 50 tonnes.” Other design elements include: concrete abutments at either end of the crossing tie that down the haunch ends, but also house the pump station, eliminating the need for any additional above-grade structures and horizontal steel trussing that provide both the diaphragm and support for the service pipes just below the bridge deck. It is config- ured such that only the timber is continuous, resulting in very little length expansion. In order to ensure a 75-year design life, careful consid- eration was given to detailing including: A visually minimal stainless cable guardrail system involving 135m long con- tinuous cables which received focused, fine-tuned preten- sion analysis to ensure adequate tension in the summer, and avoid overtension in the winter; spacing between the paired glulams to allow full ventilation; and shingled heavy gauge flashing which creates a strong drip edge protecting the beam faces. Glulams are additionally coated with a sys- tem which behaves like a breathable membrane and is eas- ily re-coated. 22 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report A partner with Fast+Epp Structural Engineers for more than 25 years, Epp began StructureCraft with the idea to design interesting timber projects, and also build them. “We began taking on these projects, almost always involv- ing timber that is exposed to view, and exploring what could be achieved with the architects and clients, in a de- sign-build format.” The first project StructureCraft completed was for the Vancouver Aquarium with the the late Bing Thom architect. The company was also involved in 2001 with the Central City complex in Surrey. “In 2006-08, one of our greatest op- portunities came with a contract to design, fabricate, and install the wood panel roof for the 2010 Olympic Speed Skating Oval, a 250,000 sq. ft. feature roof that was en- dowed with many awards.” The company’s first design-build footbridge was the Princeton Bridge of Dreams, a covered bridge with double span timber tied arches resting on existing railway bridge piers which also won international recognition.

LaBranche says the project consists of a five-phase re- search study to determine the long-term manpower needs and opportunities for all personnel in the commercial real estate sector. “We are just completing the second phase portion now and hope to complete the project by the end of 2017.” Beyond its provincial involvement, he says the associa- tion is watching carefully how the federal government plans to achieve its climate action goals. “One of the ideas we hear federal government officials discussing is a regu- latory approach which is a concern for our industry as it adds to cost and can lead to unintended consequences,” he said. Though the impact of the recent U.S. election is not yet evident, BOMA will also be following announcements and changes there for issues that may affect its members. LaBranche says BOMA BC works with government at all levels to ensure any regulatory proposals “have the input of the industry” and provide training and standards building owners can achieve on a voluntary basis. “This approach cre- ates the opportunity to transform our in- dustry and create a more sustainable future.” He says the association is also work- ing to re-evaluate and improve its own existing programs. BOMA BEST, a pro- gram launched in B.C. more than 15 years ago, recently underwent a major overhaul of content, branding and sys- tem management. The program, which now includes five levels of certification, allows users to “progress through the program and con- tinually use the framework of the BEST practices and full assessment” capabili- ties to improve “environmental perform- ance and management.” From the base certified level, at which buildings have achieved up to 19 per cent on the assessment questionnaire, through the bronze level (49 per cent), sil- ver (79 per cent), gold (89 per cent) and platinum levels (100 per cent), the pro- gram helps building owners and man- agers understand and evaluate their performance in categories that include use of energy, water, air quality, comfort level, waste, and stakeholder engage- ment.

Providing First Class Contract Janitorial Services The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 25 youRhere Inc. provides touchpoint for tenants and visitors Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature youRhere Inc. provides unique digital interactive infor- mational signage to properties ranging from commercial and health care to multi-use and retail. With more than 600 touchscreens installed and staff working across the coun- try, the company continues to grow and evolve its ca- pabilities to meet building owners’ changing demands. Scot Martin, youRhere CEO, says the origins of the company go back 15 years and began with a focus on office lobby directories. “There was a growing interest in shifting from the old- style static signage to touch screens as a way to modernize and keep up with technology, and fueled by the time and cost involved in constantly updating posters and lettered boards as informa- tion changed.” He says at the time, though, the technology was basic, with small touch screens, simple functionality 26 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report and little integration. Today, things have changed and avail- able hardware includes screens up to 55 inches. Software, too, has improved. “Today’s systems provide a shared con- tent management system with a range of information that can be provided and changes made by either the customer or ourselves.” Martin says building owners can provide tenants and visitors with information ranging from local transit feeds, mapping of the sur- rounding area and amenities, building news and initiatives, retailer promotions, and of course, the traditional tenant information. Instead of remaining a touch point for visitors to the building, these interactive signs become a touch point for tenants as well. “These directories can be loaded with communication for tenants, including mainte- nance notices, sustainability initiatives, announce- ments about new tenants or building awards. And they can be available in multiple languages.” Installed from Victoria to Newfoundland in malls, hospitals, government buildings, tourist attractions and in commercial and res- idential properties, Martin says these directo- ries also produce valuable data for building management. “If a building has an interest in determining tenants’ interest in sustainability, for instance, they can send a message to all tenants to check the directory for updates. Our directories can then generate a before- and-after usage report, informing building management as to how many people subse- quently visited the directory to look at the up- date and letting them know whether this is something people care about.” Martin says youRhere, unlike others in the industry, is an end-to-end systems integrator. The company has designers, project man- agers and support staff across the country who work with customers to first create a look – either a simple wall mount or some- thing more complex and co-ordinated to the décor of the building, then determine the right software to meet the client’s needs, and finally, the right plan for follow up and sup- port. “Some clients may want us to remain con- nected simply as a service and maintenance provider over the life of the directory. For oth- ers, we can act as content managers and partners to the property owner, updating and interacting with the directory at their direc- tion.” With several of youRhere’s clients already operating or expanding into the U.S., the company is now moving internationally to provide its hardware, software and service south of the border.

DBOBNPVMEDPN EIFS DuROCK’s PUCC System meets new EIFS building code standards with effective drainage, insulation and ease of installation Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature A Canadian family owned business operating out of Vaughan, Ontario since 1980, DuROCK Alfacing Interna- tional Ltd. leads in EIFS industry innovation. Changes to the 2015 National Building Code of Canada have embraced the company’s product offerings and expertise. Andre Turrin, technical director, says the 2015 code for- mally recognized EIFS as an acceptable solution for Part 5 and for Part 9 construction. “Ontario has already imple- mented those changes and other provinces are expected to follow suit in 2017.” He says the EIFS subsection in Part 9 is specific to EIFS that have a Geometrically Defined Drainage Cavity (GDDC), such as the one in DuROCK’s PUCCS. “Simply put, PUCCS drains through a manufactured component of the system, rather than through a space that has been created by the installer.” PUCCS was developed by DuROCK in 2004 in response to demands for a better system. “Conventional systems that drained through spaces between ribbons of adhesive were heavily reliant upon the skill of the installer. Our patented PUCCS, with its unique drainage pattern, has a 10-mm air space incorporated into the insulation manufac- 32 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report turing process and that provides a greater level of assur- ance when it comes to drainage.” He says DuROCK’s proactive and forward thinking ap- proach positioned PUCCS as a solution to prescriptive measures, introduced as an insurance policy amendment in 2010 that effectively mandated a 10 mm drained air space for buildings designed by Ontario architects. With greater focus on building efficiency and an under- standing of insulation as a key component, PUCCS also provides the solution, Turrin says. “As EIFS is an insulated cladding, PUCCS may provide, or otherwise contribute to, the effective thermal resistance of opaque wall assemblies stipulated in National Building Code of Canada Article 9.36.2.6. Equally, PUCCS low thermal conductivity has a significant impact on the overall thermal transmittance of opaque wall assemblies, as designers strive to meet the performance criteria stipulated in National Energy Code of Canada Article 3.2.2.2.” Turrin says some provincial codes also include require- ments for continuous insulation, and once again, he says, PUCCS is ideally suited to fulfill that role. “As codes con- tinue to evolve, PUCCS is well positioned to perform any and all relevant environmental separation functions.” For more information, visit www.durock.ca The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 33 PASSIVE HOUSE Passive House Institute US advances passive building through training, education and resources Spring training program scheduled for Canadian and U.S. designers, architects and engineers Doig River Church, Credit: Iredale Architecture (Vancouver, Canada) Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) was founded in 2003 and since that time has worked to advance passive building in the U.S. and Canada through training, education and a range of resources. PHIUS has several ongoing train- ing programs, including programs this spring in Seattle, Chicago and Philadelphia. PHIUS executive director Katrin Klingenberg says the or- ganization’s trainings are intended for professionals across a variety of fields including design, architecture and engi- neering. “The Certified Passive House Consultant (CPHC®) training is conducted in two phases that include an online theory portion that can be completed at the student’s own pace, and then a second phase which is a five day in-class session that includes a final exam.” During the in-class phase she says, students will prac- tice energy modeling to better understand and practice the theory they have learned. Klingenberg says each class can accommodate 15 to 25 34 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report participants and that the demand exceeds space availabil- ity. An application process ensures participants have the required base knowledge and interest to take the training, so qualified participants have a more successful student experience. Katrin Klingenberg Teaching CPHC Training. Credit: Video still from Saturn Resource Management PASSIVE HOUSE Rocky Mountain Institute Innovation Center, Credit: Tim Griffith “The training is critical for those who wish to work on passive house projects and generally involves people who have a plan to move in that direction. Because the learning is focused on a holistic understanding of the building en- velope and mechanical and engineering elements, a cer- tain knowledge and experience level is required.” Since the training program’s introduction in 2008, Klin- genberg says much has changed, with new products, new ideas and new formulas coming to the forefront. With that in mind, the curriculum has also been updated regularly to include the latest best practices. “In the early days the training changed significantly and often. Now we’re at a steadier place where updates are minor.” PHIUS originally based its training and certified projects on European passive house standards. However, PHIUS quickly became aware of the critical differences between the moderately cold climate of central Europe, where the European standard was developed, and the varied climates and markets in North America. Today’s training has there- fore evolved to incorporate more cold, very cold and hot and humid climate considerations. Although passive house is often regarded as a European concept, the passive building concept was actually the re- sult of North American research efforts funded by the U.S. and Canadian governments during the 1970s and 1980s. That work established the fundamental building science principles that underpin the passive house concept. Klingenberg says a lot of the driving interest in passive house and related training has come from the coastal areas of the northwest and northeast, including significant Canadian interest. Attention to different climates has been important. “The European model is a good fit for the Vancouver cli- mate for instance, which is very similar to central Europe, but it doesn’t work just as well in other parts of the U.S. and Canada,” she said. In 2015 PHIUS implemented the climate-specific PHIUS+ 2015 Passive Building Standard, the product of three years of research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and in partnership with the renowned Build- ing Science Corporation. The resulting standard produced climate specific target metrics that represent the sweet 36 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report spot between aggressive energy conservation and cost ef- fectiveness, without compromising the main characteris- tics of a passive house, which include health and comfort. The standard provides designers a guideline on when to stop investing in the envelope and when it’s more cost ef- fective to invest in renewables. PHIUS+ 2015 was the first passive building certification program to combine a thor- ough passive house design verification protocol with a stringent Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program performed on site by highly skilled and special- ized PHIUS+ Raters. These updates, she says, are added into the online por- tion of the CPHC training so that those wishing to update their basic knowledge of the standard can take just this component to stay current. According to PHIUS’ website: “CPHC is the only profes- sional passive building credential training program that in- cludes instruction in energy modeling software and the only professional passive building credential with a long- standing continuing education program in place. It is the only passive building training program tailored to North America’s unique climate variations, market condi- tions and building components. PHIUS, the leading North American passive building training provider, has trained more than 2,000 professionals to date, including 1,350 CPHCs.” Alice Street Duplex, Truro, Nova Scotia, Credit: Design by Housing Nova Scotia, Construction by Global Construction, Energy consulting and construction support by Passive Design Solutions Another training PHIUS offers is WUFI Pas- sive, essentially a crash course on the model- ing software that allows users to “model buildings to meet the PHIUS+ Certification performance standard, access unique built-in hygrothermal modeling capabilities and to tog- gle between static and dynamic modeling modes, as well as generate reports for clients and certification documentation.” This course, Klingenberg says, can also be a valuable refresher for those who have previ- ously taken the CPHC training but have not been active in its implementation. In order to deliver the most relevant and ef- fective training, Klingenberg says instructors are drawn from those most active in the field, including some who were students of the or- ganization’s first training classes. “Since then these individuals have gone on to lead signifi- cant projects, including large multifamily proj- ects from coast to coast. They provide our students with firsthand knowledge derived from experience in a variety of climates and conditions.” In addition to its training programs, PHIUS has also developed a suite of product perform- ance data verification models. “We’ve just launched a panel performance data verification program which joins our existing Verified Win- dow Performance Data Program.” These veri- fication programs provide products with labels detailing the applicable climate zones and per- formance values for each product.

Today CAPULC is ac- tively focused on industry competency, ethics, and recog- nition for the profession. Among CAPULC’s most recent achievements is the es- tablishment in January 2016 of a Competency Review Committee to address the more than 3,200 competencies identified in the Underground Facility Locator (UFL) Com- petency Profile and to address gaps. CAPULC executive director Jason Mugford says the committee has been structured to facilitate a comprehen- sive review of the required competencies for a UFL to in- crease the accuracy and reliability of locates. “Competencies were identified as every day work tasks that make up the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and technol- ogy used by locators in accomplishing their day to day em- 38 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report ployment in the draft UFL Competency Profile sent out to the public review and comment on May 25, 2015.” The competencies are blended with theoretical knowl- edge, proven field procedures, regulations, training pro- grams, safe work practices and manufacturer’s equipment reference material. The committee, structured to include a chair, co-chair and administrative co-ordinator, is backed by sub-committees formed by industry stakeholder groups including electric power, transmission pipelines, gas dis- tribution, petroleum producers, general locating /privately owned facilities, telecommunications/CATV, water and wastewater, and surveying and mapping. Together the committee and its sub-committees are tasked with prioritizing, identifying gaps and updating the competency profile with advances in technology, educa- tion and training, industry feedback and regulatory changes. “The committee members are to prioritize a cross-sec- tion of competencies by identifying, categorizing and clas- sifying each competency in a hierarchical tiering. The committee is to report back to the board of directors of CAPULC their progress by the end of March 2017,” says Mugford. The Competency Review Committee is expected to en- sure validity of the competency profile and to develop ad- ditional competencies that might be identified. He says sub-committee members may also provide comments on any competency, propose a new competency or compe- tency modification. In addition to the current competency review, CAPULC has also added an additional requirement to its Code of Ethics form that must be signed by all members. Among the items detailed in the code, members must adhere to the UFL Competency Cycle and its three stages: Knowl- edge development (preferably industry specific) course(s); industry specific field training (hands-on or OJT); and in- dustry specific final assessment (verification of knowledge and skills). Mugford says the association is also addressing stan- dards for industry and clients. CAPULC recently made available version 2.0 of the UFL’s Field Task Competency Manual which CAPULC endorses. The manual specifies lo- cator training standards and competency requirements in an effort to increase the accuracy and reliability of locates. “The manual, developed by Locate Management, con- tains task descriptions written by subject matter experts with input from industry stakeholders,” he said. Besides internal initiatives, CAPULC works as an advo- cate for the industry at various levels of government. Mug- ford says CAPULC is actively supporting Bill S-229, ‘An Act respecting underground infrastructure safety’, introduced by Senator Grant Mitchell and currently in second reading. “Bill S-229 is an important piece of legislation that will re- duce the costs and increase safety associated with dam- ages to our underground infrastructure by addressing the need for a mandated comprehensive call/click-before-you- dig notification system across Canada.” He says while currently there are call/click before you dig systems in Canada, there is no legislation, except in Ontario, to require its use. “Bill S-229 would ensure the system is comprehensive and effective for underground infrastructure on federal lands.” Mugford says there is a significant amount of cost and damages from people who hit underground infrastructure when they are digging, whether it is from major construc- tion projects or homeowners digging in their yard. In 2015, he says, there were more than 10,000 voluntary reports of damage to underground infrastructure in Canada, of which 79 per cent caused a disruption to services. In an effort to connect with industry and raise aware- ness of its efforts, CAPULC will be attending and hosting a booth at the ORCGA (Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance) 2017 Symposium this year in Niagara Falls. “We will also be attending the 5th Annual Canadian Common Ground Alliance (CCGA) Damage Prevention Symposium in Ottawa from Sept. 19-21, 2017 and will have a booth there as well.” “It is important for all Canadians to understand just how complex our buried infrastructure is below their feet. Retail stores, our homes, airports, workplaces, schools, hospitals all rely on important telecommunications, electric power cables, pipelines, water and sewer that are buried under the ground across our country.” Locators and ground disturbers/excavators play an im- portant role in protecting this critical infrastructure, he says. “We as citizens of Canada forget that the energy in- dustry and our infrastructure is what built Canada and what gives us the luxuries we enjoy today like heat for our homes, basic electricity, high speed internet, clean drinking water, sewer systems, cell phones, internet, cable TV, street lights, trains, subways and streetcars. Without this vast network of underground infrastructure that keeps our country connected, we would not be the great industrial- ized nation that we are today.” For more information, visit http://www.capulc.ca. www.capulc.ca WE PROVIDE LEADERSHIP, PROMOTE SAFETY, AND ENHANCE THE VALUE AND REPUTATION OF THE UNDERGROUND FACILITY LOCATING INDUSTRY IN CANADA. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 39 UTILITIES INDUSTRY GEAR EQUIPMENT INC: RSP dry suction excavators reduce environmental stress while enhancing production efficiency Gear Equipment Inc. is the exclusive distributor for Ger- man made RSP suction excavators. The company also owns and operates 16 of its own units and performs work throughout Ontario on a variety of challenging projects. The patented principle behind the dry suction excavator guarantees the highest degree of gravity separation, the lowest load on the filters and consistently high suction per- formance. The company’s website describes the process, saying: “The fan generates an air flow of up to 44,000 cu. m./h and a maximum vacuum of 55,000 Pa. The suction hose can be moved three dimensionally via a hydraulically 40 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report operated boom and is capable of removing material up to 50 m in depth and 150 m horizontally. All types of media can be sucked up, solid materials up to 250 mm in diame- ter.” Gear Equipment owner Tom Bottrell says the procedure is the most environmentally sound method available, in part because all of the material extracted stays on site so it can be reused. “If the material can be reused, that avoids bringing other fill in, saves fuel, reduces tipping fees be- cause it avoids trucks leaving and returning to the site, and it doesn’t require any additional materials, such as water.” Dry suction, he says, minimizes contaminated soil dis- posal. He says the method also has advantages where access may be restricted because the trucks can side dump and it eliminates an extra traffic element where sites are under restricted vehicle access. And, because vehicles don’t need to leave and return, he says productivity improves by as much as four times. “The German technology we utilize allows for reduced labour and also enhanced health and safety considerations which is another advantage with today’s safety focus and the complexities around challeng- ing sites.” Bottrell says the dry suction method is suitable for com- plex projects including tunnel and shaft excavation, indus- trial works, utility projects including water and pipeline work. The company also offers maintenance and emer- gency repair services. He says there are particular benefits in confined space or zones of high utility congestion such as local excava- tions, relocations/rehabilitation of electricity, gas, telecom- munications and municipal water and wastewater services facilities. Though the technology has been used in Europe for the past 20 years, he says Gear Equipment is the only com- pany providing and promoting the method in Canada. Cur- rently the company is based out of the GTA but he says plans are in the works to add an office in eastern Ontario and western Canada. For more information, visit http://gearequip.com.

The new 75-bed Mental Health and Substance Use (MHSU) wellness cen- tre will be a four-storey building with approximately 13,000 sq. m., provid- ing both inpatient and outpatient serv- ices. The MHSU building will include a two-level bridge link to the existing hospital with one level for patient movement and the other for hospital services. In addition, the building will have a multi-level 450 stall parkade to service the campus. The energy centre is designed to support the needs of the existing cam- pus in addition to the new MHSU building and is sized to support future proposed redevelopment phases. It will also house an IT communication hub which is designed to support Royal Columbian Hospital’s future in- formation technology infrastructure re- quirements. The project, targeting LEED Gold certification, is expected to com- mence construction in early 2017 and be completed in winter 2019. North Vancouver – G3 to build major grain export terminal CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA G3 Terminal Vancouver, an affiliate of Winnipeg based G3 Global Holdings (G3), says it will build a state-of-the-art grain export terminal in North Vancou- ver, the first new grain terminal con- structed at the Port of Vancouver since the 1960s. “Our Vancouver terminal is central to G3’s vision of a coast-to-coast grain handling network that sets a new stan- dard in efficiency,” said CEO Karl Ger- rand. ”We plan to transform the movement of grain through the west coast, providing Canadian farmers with competitive pricing and reliable delivery opportunities.” G3 Global Holdings, a private enter- prise owned by Bunge Canada and Saudi agricultural company Salic, won’t say how much the new terminal will cost, but Gerrand said it’s a capital investment that will be in the “hun- dreds of millions of dollars,” Business in Vancouver reported. The company says it expects the project will create 175 construction jobs. G3’s Vancouver terminal will feature a rail loop track that will be capable of holding three 134-car trains, unique to grain exporting terminals in Canada. The terminal includes more than 180,000 metric tonnes of storage and will be able to handle cereal grains, oilseeds, pulses and special crops, much of which will be supplied via a throughput agreement with G3 Canada Limited. This will allow trains to travel to Vancouver, unload while in continuous motion, and travel back to G3 Canada’s primary elevators, includ- ing four recently constructed primary elevators, without detaching from their locomotives, critical to increasing sup- ply chain efficiency. In addition to improved rail effi- ciency, G3’s Vancouver facility was de- signed with a focus on high velocity receiving, shipping, and best-in-class environmental and safety standards, representing the next generation in grain terminal design. The development of G3’s Vancou- ver terminal will be led by Bill Mooney, who has extensive Vancouver grain terminal management experience, to- 42 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report gether with G3’s team of experienced project engineers. Peter Kiewit Infra- structure Co. has been selected as the design-build contractor for the project. Construction will commence in March 2017, subject to final notifications, with the terminal slated for completion in 2020. ALBERTA Calgary: Bylaw requires visual inspection of older buildings A new bylaw that requires visual in- spection of the exterior of older build- ings is now in effect, but one group of specialists says the bylaw has at least one shortcoming, Metro News re- ports. The City of Calgary’s Building Main- tenance Bylaw came into effect on New Year’s Day, targeting buildings that are 10 years or older, and five storeys or higher. The law requires a trained profes- sional to perform a visual inspection of the building’s exterior every five years, specifically to prevent debris from coming loose and falling on pedestri- ans below. However, Mike Dietrich, past presi- dent and board member of the Alberta Building Envelope Council South, says “visual inspection” may not be a clear enough definition of what is required. “I think there’s a concern that what might happen is – some people may just drive by the building, look though binoculars or whatever, and then they just sign off and be done with it,” he said. Ross McDougall, the city’s chief building inspector, said there are only a few hundred buildings that fall under the bylaw, and staff are familiar with them. “Ultimately – it’s the owner’s re- sponsibility,” he said. “If they’re going to send us something false or inaccu- rate – that’s their risk.” McDougall says the city has in- creased job site inspections in early spring (before the Calgary Stampede) and in mid-December to prevent inci- dents on construction sites. In 2009, a three-year-old girl was killed when improperly secured sheet metal blew off a building site. Two companies were later fined $15,000 each plus surcharges for safety viola- tions. Edmonton: PCL donates $6.6 million to United Way campaigns The Edmonton based PCL family of companies says it has donated $6,611,570 million to United Ways across North America from its overall 2016 campaign. Twenty-eight PCL dis- tricts held fundraising campaigns to support their local United Way agen- cies. “In all of our operating locations across North America, PCL employees continue to do what it takes to make their communities better places to live and work,” president and CEO Dave Filipchuk said in a statement. “Partner- ing with United Way allows us to make an important impact by helping those who need it most.” PCL’s efforts during the campaign included everything from a donation challenge for collecting coats for kids and families, to holding raffles and var- ious office contests such as an execu- tive dunk tank. MANITOBA Winnipeg: $200 million SkyCity Centre building permit expires The building permit has expired for Fortress Real Estate Development’s SkyCity Centre, a $200 million condo in downtown Winnipeg that will be the city’s tallest structure. City officials say this means that the developer may forfeit $75,000 in fees, but Fortress says it is working on value engineering initiatives with contractor EllisDon and expects to reapply for the building permit early this year. The developer plans to build the 45- storey 388-unit tower on a surface parking lot on the northeast corner of Graham Ave. and Smith St. In January 2016, Fortress paid $125,000 for a six-month permit to ex- cavate the downtown property and begin placing piles into the ground, CBC Winnipeg reports. The city ex- tended that permit another six months, as long as complete construc- tion drawings were submitted by Dec. 1. However, this extended construc- tion permit has expired, the city con- firmed last week via email to CBC. “The original excavation/piling staged permit is now considered to be ‘expired’ under the definition of the Winnipeg Building Bylaw,” said spokeswoman Alissa Clark, speaking on behalf of the planning, property and development department. “Neither a permit application nor final building permit drawings have been received in conjunction with 245 Ave.” The permit’s expiration means Fortress is entitled to a 40 per cent re- fund of the $125,000 fee, or $50,000, Clark said in an email. However, Fortress says the project is going ahead and construction will commence this spring. “Permit drawings will be submitted in full in the new year,” Fortress spokeswoman Natasha Alibhai said in a December email to CBC. “The team along with the builder, EllisDon, is cur- rently undergoing a detailed value en- gineering exercise that is focused on finding efficiencies in materials and construction timeline.” The firm has drilled bore holes into the site to investigate soil conditions before excavation, she wrote. Alibhai also said more than 50 per cent of SkyCity’s proposed residential units have been sold and Fortress has hired Cushman & Wakefield Winnipeg to sell office condominiums at SkyCity. “The program is underway and in the new year we will begin exploring offers on the retail space. Fortress will continue to focus on sales at SkyCity and financing discussions are under- way,” she said in the email to CBC. “We do not anticipate any delays to starting construction in the spring and first occupancies of residential units are still planned for the end of 2019.” ONTARIO Ottawa: OCA finalizes purchase decision for new HQ The Ottawa Construction Associa- tion (OCA) is “finalizing a purchase de- cision” for a new headquarters building/site, says president John De- Vries. The deal for the undisclosed loca- tion, if it goes through, will finally re- solve a three-year search for a new location for the association, after it sold its 196 Bronson Ave. building to Toronto based Lamb Development Corp. for a new condominium project. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 43 NEWS BRIEFS The association has been leasing back its site from the developer and thought it had found an ideal location in early 2015, after selling the building in 2014 for $4.6 million, with a $3 mil- lion take back mortgage. That deal however fell through at the due diligence stage. DeVries says there was progress towards a second deal, which also got derailed. “We had a property lined up in the same business park, went through three times, gave a pretty competitive offer, only to have (the) seller experi- ence a change of heart,” DeVries said in an email. “(It was a) complete waste of time.” “After two failed purchases I won’t be releasing details until we know all conditions have been waived and the deal closes,” DeVries wrote. “We should be public in time for the Feb. 28 annual general meeting.” CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA Toronto: Community Benefits Declaration – 10 per cent apprenticeship opportunities for Eglington Crosstown LRT The provincial government says it has finalized what it calls a landmark agreement with government agencies, business, labour and the local commu- nity to help people from disadvan- taged communities along the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit corridor get construction jobs on the largest transit project in Canada. Premier Kathleen Wynne announced details of the community benefits dec- laration in early December at the Work- ers Health and Safety Centre in Toronto. Wynne was joined by several of the partners in the agreement and delivering its economic benefits to the community. The partners have set a goal that 10 per cent of all trade and crafting hours needed for the project will be per- formed by apprentices and journeyper- sons who live along the transit corridor and who have had trouble finding jobs. This valuable experience will offer them the opportunity to develop ca- reers in the construction sector. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is the first of several major transit projects that will include an agreement provid- ing a range of social and economic benefits for communities. These in- clude employment opportunities for www.threadsoflife.ca 44 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report youth and training programs. The signatories are Metrolinx, Infra- structure Ontario, the Crosstown LRT’s builder Crosslinx Transit Solu- tions, the Toronto Community Benefits Network, and the United Way Toronto & York Region. The provincial government says it is working with the City of Toronto on the Construction Pathway, one of three SkillsAdvance pilot projects in Ontario that offer jobseekers industry specific skills training. The Construction Path- way will provide a reliable pipeline of suitable and well prepared candidates for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The provincial news release says community benefits programs are also planned or being developed for future Metrolinx rapid transit projects in other parts of the Greater Toronto and Hamil- ton Area (GTHA). mixte de l’est de la couronne sud (SE- MECS). The SEMECS project will facilitate the treatment of organic waste gener- ated by residents of the regional county municipalities (MRCs) of La Val- lée-du-Richelieu, Marguerite-D’Youville and Rouville. The new biomethanation facilities will be able to efficiently re- claim organic material from various sources and convert it into renewable fuel or biogas, a government news re- lease says. QUEBEC Once purified, the biogas will be used as fuel for the Quebec Green- Field Ethanol Inc. refinery, and will re- place a portion of the natural gas that the company uses in its processes. In addition, farmers who sell their crops to the refinery will be able to use the digestate produced in the biomethana- tion process as an organic amend- ment. Local residents will be able to have their food waste, green waste and septic tank sludge treated by local firms rather than having it sent for dis- posal. German based BTA International GmbH (BTA) and its partner and li- censee for North America, CCI BioEn- ergy Inc. (CCI) say they have been selected by SEMECS, a public-private partnership between Biogaz EG and a collection of 27 area municipalities, to design and supply the BTA process for the project. “Together, BTA and CCI will first de- liver a services package, beginning with the facility and process design phase and continuing through into the daily operations phase.” BTA says on its website. “Construction supervision and the planning and supervision of the com- missioning and start-up are also inte- grated into the solution delivery. BTA Bagotville: Cegerco Inc. awarded $46.9 million contract for Canadian Forces Bagotville base Department of National Defence (DND) has awarded a $46.9 million contract to Cegerco Inc. from Chicoutimi to construct two buildings at 3 Wing Bagotville, as well as the de- construction of old buildings, DND says in a news release. Work should begin in spring 2017. Transport and Electrical and Me- chanical Engineering is responsible for servicing and maintaining of heavy snow removal vehicles and for the maintenance of runways, radars, and lights, ensuring the equipment is ready at all times. These buildings will be built in ac- cordance with LEED (Leadership in En- ergy and Environmental Design) silver certification. Varennes: Construction starts on $57.8 million municipal waste to gas project Construction has started on a major waste to gas (biomethenation) project in Varennes, Quebec, to be operated by the of the Société d’économie will be responsible, under a separate agreement, to deliver the key equip- ment and software components of the BTA process into the project,” BTA says. NEW BRUNSWICK Moncton: New $61.6 million Petitcodiac River bridge to resolve 48-year-old causeway’s environmental damage A new $61.6 million bridge will be built beginning this spring across the Petitcodiac River to replace the cause- way between Moncton and Riverview, correcting a 48-year-old environmental mistake, according to officials. CBC reported that premier Brian Gallant and federal fisheries minister Dominic LeBlanc made the announce- ment as they put up the project’s funds. New Brunswick will contribute $32.9 million, and the remainder will come from Ottawa. The bridge will take about five years to complete. The published documentation does not in- dicate who will be the contractor. The causeway’s construction re- sulted in a variety of environmental problems in the river, including the build-up of silt, narrowing of the river and making the it inhospitable for salmon and other fish. “Decades ago some mistakes were made,” Gallant said. “As New Brunswickers, when we make a mis- take, we fix it.” The new bridge will be steel and 240 metres long. It will include a side- walk and two lookout areas. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Winter 2017 – 45 NEWS BRIEFS NOVA SCOTIA Halifax: Habitat for Humanity plans largest project in Canada Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia plans to build the largest Habitat devel- opment in the country, with 91 homes for low-income families and seniors in the Spryfield development in Halifax Regional Municipality. “We’re really excited about it,” CEO Marie-France LeBlanc told CBC. “We’re definitely building a commu- nity. It will be a diverse community.” The project includes townhouses and a 50-unit apartment style complex. “Our hope is that we can build the road next summer and then break ground on the internal homes in spring 2018,” said LeBlanc. “We have four lots that abut the development where the road is going to go and we’re going to be building two townhouses on those lots next summer.” Each house will cost about $200,000, resulting in an overall $12 million budget, with $8 million for the townhouses and $4 million for the multi-unit complex. Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia owns the land. “Some of it we pur- chased, some of it was deeded to us, some of it was donated to us. We’ve been accumulating this parcel of land now for at least six or seven years,” LeBlanc said. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND There are the conventional ways to stop drunk drivers, and there are the construction ways. CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA RCMP says an intoxicated driver stopped near Hwy 15 in Brackley, P.E.I., apparently to confront an exca- vator operator about his work. The ma- chine operator sensed the driver was intoxicated, and manoeuvred his bucket to trap the car. The driver was taken to back to the police station where he recorded a blood alcohol reading three times the legal limit. Sgt. Leanne Butler told CBC News that it was the first time she had seen anything like it. “The officers respond- ing probably haven’t seen something like that before either,” she said. “It was a different way, but it was effec- tive.” The man was arrested and charged. NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Muskrat Falls: $1.83 billion agreement reached to complete powerhouse construction The Muskrat Falls Corporation has reached a $1.83 billion agreement with Italian contractor Astaldi to finish work on a powerhouse at the hydroelectric project in Labrador. 46 – Winter 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “All disputes and outstanding com- mercial items have been addressed,” Astaldi said in a news release from its Rome headquarters in late December “The challenging work and its envi- ronment have made the negotiation process complex and we are satisfied for having reached this agreement,” said Filippo Stinellis, chief executive officer of Astaldi Group. CBC reports that the original con- tract between the Nalcor Energy sub- sidiary and Astaldi was worth $1.26 billion, but the two companies argued over terms as the completion date was pushed forward and construction costs ballooned. Astaldi is responsible for construc- tion of the powerhouse, intake and spillway. The company demanded more money and arranged a “bridge agreement” last summer to continue work for the project then estimated to have a total cost of $11.4 billion, in- cluding interest. However, Nalcor CEO Stan Marshall said in late December that number has increased by an additional $270 mil- lion. “When I went in there in April, there was considerable uncertainty,” Mar- shall said. “The numbers would have been a hell of a lot more” if Astaldi was replaced. “We have a great deal of confi- dence going forward,” but costs could still rise even more, he said. For example, Nalcor expects some damage from ice in the Churchill River through the winter months, and if weather conditions are “catastrophic”, “all bets are off.” The project is now two years be- hind schedule, with first power ex- pected in 2019 and full power by 2020.
