Our Role

Engineering Design

CAP completed the detailed design and tender package for this project. The design phase involved coordination for preliminary engineering, summarizing preliminary engineering data, and confirmation of surfacing requirements and quantity calculations. Design elements included subgrade preparation, granular base course, asphalt concrete pavement, signing, roadway lines and messages, milled rumble strips, and delineators.

We created surfacing schematics and typical cross sections for the tender. A design report was then created, which outlined all project details, calculations, and estimates. Following review and approval by Alberta Transportation, we developed a tender document with special provisions using standard templates. We also prepared “C” estimates based on historical average unit prices.
