Stantec was awarded four 2024 Canadian Consulting Engineering (CCE) Awards, by ACEC-Canada. The awards recognize exceptional engineering projects by Canadian firms and highlight the important work they do to connect communities, grow the economy, and improve safety and sustainability.
This year, Stantec received Awards of Excellence for the firm’s work on the LNG Canada Material Offloading Facility, British Columbia Housing Climate Risk Assessment Framework (CRAF) Tool, Twinning of Stoney Trail over the Bow River in Northwest Calgary, and the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre.
LNG Canada Material Offloading Facility
The LNG export project facilitates the delivery of construction materials and 8,000-tonne plant modules, playing a crucial role in Canada’s largest private capital investment. The facility is optimized to withstand typical and atypical seismic, marine, and weather conditions. It supports large vessel docking and heavy equipment unloading. The accelerated design timeline helped deliver this vital, economically impactful project on time.
BC Housing Climate Risk Assessment Framework (CRAF) Tool
Morrison Hershfield, now Stante,c developed a Climate Risk Assessment Framework (CRAF) tool that allows BC Housing to apply a standardized approach to integrating climate risk and resilience at its assets across the province. This first-of-its-kind tool can be used to assess site viability for new developments, development proposals scoring across sites, and prioritization and budgeting of risk-mitigation strategies. It also has potential for future expansion to additional climate risks and communities.
Twinning of Stoney Trail over the Bow River in Northwest Calgary
This crucial project for the City of Calgary included the design and construction of a new 5-span river crossing. It’s a 470-metre-long bridge over the Bow River, directly west of the existing Stoney Trail bridge. The bridge was segmentally cast in place using a balanced cantilever method. This complex method of bridge construction means the superstructure of the bridge—the part of the bridge that rests on the piers (the upright support for the structure) and abutments (substructure at the ends of a bridge span)—was built out from the 6 separate piers and abutments and joined together at completion.
Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre
The Calgary-based centre opened in fall 2024 as Canada’s largest cancer treatment and research facility; it is the second largest in North America. It features cutting-edge engineering design, showcasing advancements in healthcare design and public infrastructure. Integrating all of the electrochromic tinting present within the building’s exterior glazing into the building automation system enables the facility to operate more efficiently and with greater occupant comfort year-round. To provide uninterrupted service during power outages, four generators were seamlessly integrated with the main power supply and located below grade to minimize noise disruption.
