Greenview maintains, inspects and repairs approximately 168 bridges throughout Greenview.
A bridge is defined as any span structure (deck) or any culvert between 1500 and 4500 millimeters in diameter.
Bridges must be installed in accordance with specific construction specifications. Culvert designs, site specifications, and roadway alignment are all considered when these projects take place.
Greenview makes the application for provincial grant funding for eligible bridge projects.
Greenview participates in the Bridge Information and Maintenance System (B.I.M.S), which is a province-wide inventory of bridges maintained by Alberta Transportation.
Here’s a clearer version that works well as a website overview:
Each year, the Regional Bridge Coordinator provides Greenview with a list of bridges scheduled for inspection. Following these inspections, bridge structures are assessed and prioritized based on their condition and operational needs. Recommendations are then presented for review and approval, allowing engineering design work and contract tendering to proceed. This process also supports the development of a proactive bridge maintenance program, helping to extend the lifespan of bridge infrastructure and reduce future replacement costs where possible.
Greenview utilizes consultants to supervise the design and construction of bridge work.
Standards and specifications
Development Guidelines and Municipal Services Standards are used to provide the design standards framework for all municipal infrastructure and development projects. Developers are required to construct projects in accordance with the current standards unless otherwise approved by Council.
All road, bridge and drainage construction projects adhere to or surpass the standards established by Alberta Transportation. Any additional requirements are internal standards set by Greenview.
