Tumbler Ridge, BC
The Bullmoose Creek Bridge, constructed in 1981, spans Highway 29, located approximately 8 km west of Tumbler Ridge. The Bullmoose Creek Concrete Rehabilitation project focused on extensive concrete rehabilitation and drainage improvements to ensure the long-term stability and functionality of the bridge.
The team completed the rehabilitation of all three bridge piers, abutments, and the undersides of the girders. The work involved the removal of delaminated concrete from both the substructure and superstructure, the repair and replacement of corroded rebar, and the installation of anodes and corrosion-retarding elements to protect existing rebar. The team also installed catch basins and downspouts to deck joint troughs to improve drainage and prevent water-related damage. Patch repairs were performed on previously removed concrete to restore the bridge’s integrity.
Additionally, bearing remediation was carried out to maintain the proper functioning of the bridge’s load-bearing components. The project took place within a limited laydown area, as the bridge is located in a public park, requiring careful coordination to minimize disruption to the surrounding environment.
Through these comprehensive repairs and upgrades, the Bullmoose Creek Bridge was successfully restored, improving its durability and ensuring its continued safe operation for years to come.
