Pattullo Bridge, New Westminster to Surrey, BC, Canada
Years of work by B&T.  Most recently fire closed the Bridge and B&T focused on one thing - get the Bridge open as soon as possible!

The Pattullo Bridge was constructed in 1938 and connects the cities of Surrey and New Westminster. It carries four 3 m (10 ft.) traffic lanes and one downstream sidewalk that is approximately 1.8 m (6 ft.) wide. The bridge was formerly owned by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and was recently transferred to the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority (GVTA, or TransLink).

B&T's Scope of Work:

In 2002 August, TransLink commissioned Buckland & Taylor Ltd. to inspect selected components of the steel truss spans between Piers 0 and 9.

In 2003 January, TransLink increased Buckland & Taylor Ltd.'s scope of work to include a complete inspection of the remaining components of the steel truss spans between Piers 0 and 9 and a live load rating of all deck system and truss members between Piers 0 and 9.

In 2004, Buckland & Taylor Ltd. provided construction support by filling the role of GVTA Representative and Structural Engineer for Phase 1 and contract administration and structural engineering services for Phase 2 of the bridge renovation works.

In 2009, Buckland & Taylor Ltd. designed the emergency replacement of the timber approach span that was destroyed by fire.

Total length: 1221 m (4007 ft.)
