PTH 1 Slope Fill Project 2020
PROJECT COMPLETION:
SPRING 2021
PROJECT CATEGORY:
ROADWORK
CLIENT:
WINNIPEG PAVING COMPANY
In August of 2020 we were awarded a subcontract by a Winnipeg paving company for work on the PTH 1 highway just east of Portage la Prairie. The overall project featured the re-construction of PTH 1 from the east exit of Portage la Prairie to the junction of PTH 1 and PTH 13. Our original portion of the work consisted of loading, hauling, and placing slope fill on the inside slope of the passing lane to construct a safer slope. Two crossovers for use as a bridge detour were later added to our contract and the amount of slope fill material required increased substantially. This turned it into a multi-million-dollar project for us. We began work in August of 2020 with completion occurring in mid-November. Final clean-up and trimming took place in the spring of 2021. The project employed several pieces of our equipment and trucks along with private (hired) trucks. In the end it was the largest truck haul excavation project our company has done in several years and it turned out to be a very successful one too.
