Ottawa LRT

Project description:

ART Engineering Inc. has been commissioned by multiple contracting companies to act as a structural engineering consultant for the Ottawa Light Rail Transit (OLRT) project. Arguably the most important infrastructure project in Ottawa's recent history, the OLRT project will improve the transportation system in the nation's capital by allowing trains to travel through the downtown core, while improving the existing infrastructure to support the new system.

Project description:

We have provided specific finite element models of the original Lees Avenue structure, Riverside Drive structure, Hurdman Rideau River structure, and the East Transit Way structure. Each analysis was organized to accurately model non-traditional loading cases (rapid transportation of one bridge over another) or demolition tasks.
