ART Engineering Inc has been commissioned by multiple contracting companies to act as a structural engineering consultant for the Ottawa Light Rail Transit (OLRT) project. Arguably the most important infrastructure project in Ottawa's recent history, the OLRT project will improve the transporation system in the nation's capital by allowing trains to travel through the downtown core, while improvinf the existing infrastructure to support the new system.

We have provided specfic finite element models of the original Lees Avenue Structure, Riverside Drive Structure, Hurdman 9Rideau River) Structure, and the East Transit Way Structure. Each analysis was organized to accurately model non-traditional loading cases (rapid transportation of one bridge over another) or demolition tasks.

ART Engineering Inc. was the only prequalified engineering firm, chosen from a list of design firms across the country, to engineer one of the largest and most complex scaffold systems ever constructed in Canada. The system incorporated many unique geometrical shapes and design challenges which included maintaining public access using aesthetic hoarding through the gallery interior, as well as ensuring the access scaffold followed an artist’s conception of a trapezoidal iceberg.

Design both the interior and exterior Total Systems Access Scaffold (TSS).

Permanent roof anchorage review, installation, and certification.
