Project Description

​

Construction of the new Champlain Bridge represented one of North America’s biggest worksites. With its impressive structure, broadly visible along the Saint Lawrence River, the new Champlain Bridge changes the urban look of Montreal and has become a new symbol for the metropolis.

Conceived in keeping with sustainable development practices, the project led the way in modern engineering and urban integration. The New Champlain Bridge is a 3.3 km long pre-cast segmental bridge crossing the St. Lawrence River.

It consists of two vehicle girders and a transit girder. The main spans are cable stayed. Jason produced 3D CAD models of the unique pier cap sections to integrate the post-tensioning hardware with the heavy reinforcing and steel form structures. The models were used to identify and resolve conflicts and plan fabrication of the complex reinforcing steel configuration within the pier caps.
