ONE-OF-A-KIND PROJECTS represent an opportunity to build exciting and challenging projects that become landmarks for the communities they represent.
|
Some civil projects having the same general characteristics of those you’ve done before and are the kind you repeatedly undertake, such as a traditional highway overpass structure. Then there are those one-of-a-kind projects that are unique from an aesthetic, structural or functional point of view. These exciting, challenging projects prove to be landmark structures in their communities. Below, our clients and other construction partners talk about their experiences working on one-of-a-kind projects with the PCL family of companies: Smart Road Bridge over Wilson Creek
