Bridging the Gap: Building over an active C-Train rail

How Of Wow

Have you ever looked at something and asked, “How did they do that?” CKUA’s newest feature, “The How of Wow,” highlights marvels of innovation and technology that are all around us. The stuff Engineers and Geoscientists create can be beautiful, sometimes even iconic, but it has to work.

It’s a marvel. The Central Library in Calgary’s East Village was actually constructed over a curved C-Train track. The beautiful solution came after identifying a problem born out of circumstance. Ian Washbrook from Entuitive was the lead structural engineer on the project.
