distressed or aged facility in order to
extend its service life.
"Our projects and expertise relate
extremely well to structures and
waterworks," says Davidson. "We have a
long history working on projects such as
the Golden Ears, the Port Mann and the
Alex Fraser."
Davidson points out that many of
the materials used in Canadian bridges
actually come from abroad, and
Levelton's role as "code consultant" on
bridges such as the Walterdale bridge in
Edmonton currently being fabricated
in Korea, is one of great responsibility.
"Essentially, we bridge the gap—pardon
the pun—between international products
and Canadian standards, to help make
sure the construction conforms to
Canadian bridge criteria."
The Materials Group's most recent,
inished project is the kilometre-long,
steel truss and cable stay Deh Cho
Bridge in Fort Providence, Northwest
Territories. It's the irst permanent
crossing over the Mackenzie River,
previously only navigable by ferry in the
summer or by ice road in the winter.
President Nick Davis notes that
the Materials Division actually does a
considerable amount of international
work, helping to deliver steel fabrication.
In just the past 18 months, Levelton has
provided services in Panama, Cuba,
Ethiopia and Mexico, in addition to
Korea. "We don't market internationally,
but our expertise has earned us quite a
reputation."
While its expertise may be world-
class, Levelton is irmly rooted here in
B.C. and Alberta. "We're very people-
focused, and committed to the level
of service we provide," says Davis.
"We are a 'Western Canadian market'
company and we place a high value on
the personal relationships that have
developed between our employees and
our clients."
