British Columbia announced a preferred contractor, the Acciona-Ghella Joint Venture, for its 3.5-mile, $2.1 billion Broadway Subway Project in Vancouver, B.C.

Working on a customized trestle in the middle of a stream, crews recently installed in Oahu, Hawaii, what officials say may be the deepest 10-ft-dia cast-in-drilled-hole pile (CIDH) in foundation history.
Crews are focusing on punch-list items and fiber-reinforced wrapping of bridge columns following a fast-track overpass replacement made possible by long-standing relationships between subcontractors and suppliers and a contracting company’s history of similar feats, according to project team members.
