Transportation

Transportation projects completed include overpass structures, road systems for new industrial parks, residential subdivisions, access routes for schools and institutions. Road design upgrades have been completed for Municipalities to resolve traffic congestion, storm water issues, street light installation, pedestrian traffic and street surface repairs. Miscellaneous Railway, Port, Harbour, and Ferry studies have been undertaken.

Numerous designs have been completed to address parking lot expansion, settlement issues, storm drainage and traffic movements. Parking lots have been designed to include storm water retention, address secure accesses and paid parking. Parking lots for major industrial clients have been upgraded to accommodate the movement of heavy truck traffic.

Several road projects have traversed watercourses utilizing various alternative crossing designs, and sideslope stabilization. CJMac are familiar with the regulations and agencies governing road design and approvals.

Project: South River Industrial Park

Lower South River Industrial Park
Antigonish County – Nova Scotia

Over the past 25 years C.J. MacLellan has been providing engineering services to business owners for the development of sites within the Lower South River Industrial park.

This has included site grading, earthworks, site services, parking lot designs and access and complete building design packages.

Originally CJMac completed the overall site planning for the 25 lot industrial park subdivision including detailed design and implementation of the road network, extensive

earthworks and municipal services including sanitary and potable water services.

CJMac has recently completed a 175 metre road extension within the subdivision to make available three new lots for the Municipal run subdivision.  The main entrance is paved with side roads currently in gravel finished conditions. Typical lots incorporate side and rear yard vegetative buffers with access from the road system. Buildings are of industrial use including a steel works facility, a boat building complex and a concrete plant.  The subdivision is approximately 80% built out.

Project: Green Hill Estates

Killiam Properties – Green Hill Estates
Antigonish County – Nova Scotia

In 2006  C.J. MacLellan & Associates undertook a comprehensive grading exercise to develop an expansion area to an existing mini home park in Antigonish County.

This project, for Killiam Properties considered extensive earth moving in order to achieve desirable road grades in addition to suitable lot sections for proposed mini homes.

CJMac staff undertook a detailed  topographic survey which led to the development of a detailed assessment of cut and fill balance in order to minimize earth moving costs.

Once grading tolerances were achieved detailed design of a road system with drainage to a two celled stormwater management facility ensued and the identification of full municipal services including asphalt road and curb system.

Project: Nova Scotia Transportation

Nova Scotia Transportation & Infrastructure Renewal
Village of Cheticamp, Nova Scotia

C.J. MacLellan with ABL Environmental Consultants Inc . provided engineering services for the design of plant upgrades, a new storage facility and improved water distribution  to meet compliance and operational requirements.

CJMac was the prime consultant responsible for structural, civil,  mechanical design and ABL provided the process design, and SCADA.  The design included upgrades to three well house facilities, VFDs, monitoring equipment and complete PLC control. In addition a 220,000 gallon steel glass lined reservoir was erected as well as over 500 metres of raw and treated water transmission main to improve on water circulation for chlorine residual as well as to add increased pressure to residential homes.

CJMac also design a ne watermain to service 18 homes on a very constrained laneway within the village. The historical development provides for small Acadian homes built generally wherever owners pleased, which when viewed today is difficult to provide new infrastructure without causing significant disruption. The contractor and the engineering staff successfully installed the new services to eliminate an old non compliant line to these homes.

Project costs were $880,000 with commissioning in Setpember of 2008.
