Register Now! The need for continued additional transportation infrastructure investment in the Cascadia (Vancouver, Seattle and Portland) megaregion is clear. The 2019 Ultra-High-Speed Ground Transportation (UHSGT) Business Case assessment has resulted in a clearer, more comprehensive and detailed picture of the wide range of benefits that would accrue to the region should an UHSGT system be built. Laura Shabe, Vice President of Corridor and Network Planning at WSP will provide an overview presentation followed by a Q&A session of the…

About this Event Infrastructure is traditionally designed with the assumption that the climate is stationary. Given the broad scientific consensus that global climate change is now occurring on a time scale shorter than the life of most infrastructure, it is clear that our design criteria must be adapted to take climate change into account. This presentation will provide a picture of future climate projections across Canada and the expected impacts of climate change on our infrastructure. Presenter: Jean-Luc joined the…

About this Event: The Canadian Society of Civil Engineering, Vancouver chapter, invites you to attend our September presentation with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. The port authority, which oversees Canada’s largest port, is federally mandated to enable Canada’s trade through the Port of Vancouver and continues to advance a suite of major infrastructure projects both on and off port lands. This includes leading a number of trade-enabling road and rail projects across the Lower Mainland that are of national significance…

Over the past several years, a number of tall wood projects have been completed around the world, demonstrating successful applications of new wood and mass timber technologies. With rising demand for new urban buildings, and increased interest in sustainable and efficient construction, the potential for tall wood buildings is expected to grow. Building taller with wood is not only gaining traction as a viable building method, but rather has also shown to be cost effective, contribute to well-being, and reduce…

Event is limited to 20 attendees. Sign up now! About this Event Negotiations and conflict resolution are interwoven throughout most of our daily lives. Professionally they become part of almost every project and particularly for those with management responsibilities. Even though negotiations hold a central role in our day to day lives, many people have never received any formal training on the topic. This hinders their ability to negotiate effectively, defuse tensions, and more importantly, get what they really want.…

About this event The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering invites you to join us for a presentation about Vancouver’s Granville Bridge Connector Project, led by Dylan Passmore from the City of Vancouver. Vancouver’s Granville Bridge is the city’s icon of 1950s transportation thinking – designed to connect to freeways that were never built. This resulted in a bridge with more vehicle capacity than could possibly be used while imposing a significant pedestrian and cycling barrier between the city’s densest areas. Join us…
