Emil Anderson Construction (EAC), along with Klohn Crippen Berger (Structural Design) and Urban Systems Ltd (Geometric Design) undertook the $11.4 million Design Build Project in 2016-2017 for the City of Chilliwack. The construction involved the replacement of the existing Vedder Bridge with a new structural steel tied arch structure, providing increased flood clearance, increased lane widths, and new multi-use pathways. In addition to the bridge structure, the project scope also includes realignment of the approaching roads, relocation of existing utilities, and construction of a new single lane roundabout. EAC was one of three teams shortlisted to participate in the RFP out of a total of ten expressions of interest submitted. Of the three teams that submitted responses to the RFP, EAC’s technical proposal received top technical points and was significantly below the City of Chilliwack’s budget. Two key components and highlights of the project include: • The design of the new alignment to enable the majority of construction offline to existing traffic, minimizing traffic disruption on an already congested roadway. • Assembling the new bridge on land, and launching the bridge into place, minimizing environmental impacts, reducing safety risks, improving quality, and expediting the project schedule.

EAC was awarded the $23.4 million dollar contract for the construction and paving of 3.7 km of new 4-lane highway in Chase, British Columbia. The work included clearing, grubbing, organic stripping, approximately 378,000 m3 of common excavation and 400,000 m3 of rock excavation, drainage installations, aggregate production, grading and asphalt paving. In addition to these major items, the project included several large earth retaining walls. At the onset of the project EAC, with the assistance and expertise of Klohn Crippen Berger, re-designed retaining walls and rock excavations slopes in order to reduce the construction time schedule and overall project costs. All of these activities, including drilling and control blasting of rock were successfully completed directly adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway and the main line Canadian Pacific Railway track. The project was completed in cooperation with, and with support from the Neskonlith Indian Band. EAC was presented with the 2017 Deputy Minister's Contractor of the Year Award for Grading Excellence for the Hoffman's Bluff project.

In 2008, EAC completed the Whistler Sliding Centre Site Works and Track Construction for the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The overall value of work completed by EAC on this site was $55.3 million. Constructing the bobsled track presented difficult technical challenges that the EAC Team conquered. The scope included drainage installation, rock and earth excavation, concrete bridge and overpass construction, construction of the bobsled track as well as design and installation of the track shading system. The bobsled track construction required a detail-oriented project management team to oversee the extensive coordination and strict adherence to the Quality Management Plan. VANOC significantly benefited from ongoing Value Engineering provided by EAC. By incorporating our ideas for revised track shading and different retaining wall systems, VANOC was able to develop excellent facilities at the most competitive price possible. The venue was completed on time and on budget. The Track Construction Project won the 2008 Century Award and Public Works Award from the Concrete Construction Association.
