Armtec Infrastructure Income Fund secures Calgary contracts
GUELPH, Ont.
Armtec Infrastructure Income Fund has been awarded two contracts worth $19.8 million for projects in Calgary. The first is an $11.2 million contract to supply the segmental precast concrete components for the elevated guideway of the Calgary LRT line.
This project consists of more than 400 segmental precast units, each of which is post tensioned together to form a continuous elevated guideway that will be part of the eight-kilometre line.
Manufacturing has started at Armtec Prairie Region’s Calgary Engineering Plant and is expected to continue into October. The total amount of concrete to be used will exceed 6,000 cubic metres and over one million kilograms of galvanized reinforcing.
Armtec has also secured a second contract, worth $8.6 million, with Stuart Olson Contractors Inc. to manufacture and install over 750 precast components for the West LRT Parkade.
The precast components, which include double Ts, columns, beams, spandrels, stair stringers and walls, will also be produced at Armtec Prairie Region’s Calgary Engineering Plant between June and September and will be erected on site through to October.
