Hatch received the Schreyer Award for the Mosaic K3 – South Shaft Headframe Project at the 55th annual Canadian Consulting Engineering (CCE) Awards Gala. The awards program is jointly produced by Canadian Consulting Engineer and ACEC-Canada.
The Schreyer Award is presented to the project that best demonstrates technical excellence and innovation by a consulting engineering firm. The project also earned an Awards of Excellence.
The project utilized industry-leading techniques to modularize, lift, and place more than 2,000 tons of internal steel structure and specialized hoisting equipment, all within a complex slip-formed concrete headframe. The project achieved ambitious safety targets and finished ahead of schedule and under budget.
Hatch also won three other prestigious Awards of Excellence, recognizing its outstanding contributions to engineering innovation and project excellence on the following projects:
Centerm Expansion Project, B.C.: By increasing the Centerm inner-harbor container terminal’s capacity by more than 60 per cent while only expanding its footprint by 15 per cent, the team addressed complex challenges, maintained safety, and prioritized sustainability. The team’s efforts led to Envision Platinum certification and recognition from the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure.
Port Saint John Westside Modernization Project, New Brunswick: Port of Saint John is North America’s fastest-growing container terminal, benefiting the local economy, and fostering relationships with First Nations communities. This endeavor expanded the container terminal and intermodal capacity and included the implementation of concrete caissons and adaptable infrastructure while maintaining operations amidst some of the world’s highest tides
Waaban Crossing (formerly Kingston Third Crossing), Ontario: This 1.2 km bridge, completed ahead of schedule and under budget, was North America’s first to use the collaborative Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model for a bridge. Close collaboration resulted in cost-saving innovations, local community benefits, and environmental considerations. The bridge is a symbol of pride for Kingston, connecting communities, enhancing emergency response times, and promoting active transportation.
