ATKINSREALIS WINS CONTRACT TO DESIGN THE ILE D'ORLEANS BRIDGE PROJECT

AtkinsRealis (SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.) has been awarded a contract from the Groupe Heritage Ile-d'Orleans SENC as part of a project for the new Ile d'Orleans Bridge developed by Quebec's Ministere des Transports et de la Mobilite durable (department of transportation and sustainable mobility).

As part of a consortium with TYLin, AtkinsRealis will oversee the design of roads, interchanges, approach spans, terrestrial structures, landscaping and related works on both shores of the St. Lawrence River.

"For more than a century, our company has been proud to carry out major projects that shape Quebec's landscape," said Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer of AtkinsRealis. "Winning this new contract is another example of our ability to deliver sustainable solutions that connect people, data and technology to deliver infrastructure that meets the highest standards in engineering and environmental management. We are thrilled to be part of this collective effort for the benefit of residents across the region."

"This iconic project of the new Ile d'Orleans Bridge marks an important milestone for AtkinsRealis. This will be the fruit of a collaboration between our team from the Quebec City area and more than 100 professionals across Canada," added Stephanie Vaillancourt, president, Canada, at AtkinsRealis. "We are proud to have already contributed to several important projects for the development of our national capital, such as the Quebec City amphitheatre, the Jean Lesage International Airport and the new hospital complex at the Hopital de l'Enfant-Jesus. Once again, it's a pleasure to lend our expertise to this signature project for the region."

Project highlights:

• Strategically located 200 metres west of the existing bridge, the new construction will replace the old bridge with a state-of-the-art 2.1-kilometre-long cable-stayed bridge.
• A new interchange will be constructed on the north shore at the junction of A-40, Route 368 and Route 138, in addition to the reconstruction of A-40 and Route 138 (Sainte-Anne Boulevard).
• An integral part of the project is the construction of a compensation pond for the wildlife habitat, connecting roads, as well as power supply, lighting, smart transportation and telecommunication equipment.
• A comprehensive sustainability plan as measured by the Envision system, developed by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure, will be incorporated into the project.
