Structal-Bridges and Goodco Z-Tech land a contract of more than $9 million in Quebec City

General contractor EBC Inc. granted a significant contract to Structal-Bridges and Goodco Z-Tech for the rehabilitation of the intersection of the Charest and Robert-Bourassa highways (A-440 and A-740) in Quebec City.

The $9-million contract involves the complete rehabilitation of two overpasses above Highway 740; one consisting of two spans measuring 114.5 meters (375 feet) and the other includes three spans measuring 118.6 meters (390 feet).

Structal-Bridges will provide the steel for these two highway infrastructures comprised of sixty haunched girders whereas Goodco Z-Tech will supply more than 60 elastomeric pot bearings, more than 100 meters (328 feet.) of expansion joints which are two LG-3 modular joints, and one type HSS Series 1000 joint, and more than 500 meters (1,640 feet.) of guardrails as well as drainage systems.

The teams of Structal-Bridges in Quebec City and Goodco Z-Tech in Laval will begin fabrication at the beginning of summer 2010 in order to deliver the products in August.

Largest jobsite in Quebec City
In progress since 2009, the rehabilitation of this interchange represents the largest jobsite undertaken by Transports Quebec in the Quebec City region since the last 25 years. For this same project, Structal-Bridges has already supplied the steel components for the reconstruction of two access ramps to the Charest highway.
