Kicking Horse Canyon Wins Global Best Project of the Year Award
20 November 2024 - 8:10AM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that Kicking Horse
Canyon Phase 4 (KHCP4), a transformative infrastructure initiative
in British Columbia (BC), Canada, has been awarded the prestigious
2024 Global Best Project Award in the Road/Highway category by
Engineering News-Record (ENR). Led by Kicking Horse Canyon
Constructors – a joint venture between Aecon Constructors, Parsons
Corporation, and Emil Anderson Construction – the project was
delivered in partnership with the Transportation Investment
Corporation and the BC Ministry of Transportation and
Infrastructure.
Parsons, a joint venture partner, also served as lead design
engineer for the $600M major highway improvement project. KHCP4 is
a Design-Build initiative that includes the design and construction
of improvements to 4.8 km (3 miles) of the existing Trans-Canada
Highway 1 to provide a four-lane divided standard with a 100 km/h
(60mph) design speed and geohazard mitigation. The project’s design
incorporated state-of-the-art technologies and used innovative
methods such as accelerated bridge construction and viaducts to
navigate difficult conditions, ensuring minimal disruption and
efficient progress despite identified challenges. This award
recognizes the project’s outstanding engineering, innovative
design, and exceptional teamwork.
"The successful completion of Kicking Horse Canyon Phase 4 was
not only a significant engineering achievement but also an example
of how collaboration and cutting-edge technology can address
complex environmental and geotechnical challenges,” said Mark
Fialkowski, president, Infrastructure North America for Parsons.
“Through collaborative teamwork, we’ve helped enhance safety,
reliability, and resilience on one of Canada’s most critical
transportation corridors. We are proud to have contributed to the
long-term prosperity of the region and the safety of the thousands
of travelers who rely on this highway every day."
The project, which opened in November 2023, is celebrated for
its extraordinary efforts to upgrade and stabilize a vital highway
segment. This section of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 runs through
steep terrain in a canyon prone to rockfall, avalanches, and debris
flows, making it a high-risk area for both road users and
infrastructure. The project was undertaken to improve safety,
stability, and operational efficiency and to enhance the highway's
resilience against increasingly severe weather events and
geotechnical hazards.
Parsons has decades of experience designing, delivering, and
protecting the infrastructure that connects our communities around
the world, including roads and highways; bridges; passenger and
freight rail; public transit; airports; and ports and waterways.
Our experience includes more than 10,000 miles of roadways, 4,500
bridges, and more than 50 advanced traffic management system
deployments that help cities and states improve safety and travel
efficiency while also reducing emissions and energy costs to
enhance the quality of life in the communities we serve.
