The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is a once-in-a-generation undertaking. Not only will the project deliver much-needed transportation improvements for international travellers, it will also provide jobs and opportunities for growth to the Windsor-Detroit region and includes features that make this project truly distinctive.
The project is being delivered through a public-private partnership (P3). A public-private partnership is a long-term performance- based approach to procuring public infrastructure where the private sector assumes a major share of the risks in terms of financing and construction and ensuring effective performance of the infrastructure, from design and planning, to long-term maintenance.
Good stuff Derek! Keep it up. Can't wait to see that deck go up :)
Thanks. Fascinating project. Really looking forward to the completion of this project.
Many thanks for these updates...so interesting & informative....excited to watch the progess!
Imagine a world where the nightly news was filled with possibilities like this
Congrats mate, heck of a project to be a part of. Going to be tough to ever beat that for the bigger project of your career so take it all in.
I am hoping to walk over it once it is complete. I walked over the rainbow bridge which was so relaxing can’t wait to do this one too.
Heck yeah!!!! Keep “up” the good work!!!! Haha 😎🤙
I was raised in Windsor great work, but sure wish it coulda started years ago,
There are many studies that show epoxy coated rebar can be worse due to the fact that the epoxy can actually trap water between the coating and the bar causing more damage due to corrosion over time.
3:50 how long are the pieces of rebar? Are they connected to the pieces below, or overlapping?
Is the rebar a larger diameter closer to the ground?
I’m not in the industry but I believe the rebar is welded onto other pieces as the construction goes up - so it’s more or less one continuous steel structure from the base to the top of the tower (35 underground plus 140m above ground now, 35+220 = 255m at the final height)
And I don’t think they use different size rebar, just more rebar at thicker areas.
They don’t weld the rebar because it denatures the steel. They use lap splices (kinda like overlapping). The rebar footing is much larger in diameter than the tower legs.
NICE . When was this video shot ? When will the U. S. tower be topped ?
Great work! I love the art work on both sides too. Haha! Will that be staying or is it temporary?
Also, it looks like the Canadian side is ahead of the US side. 😜
Well he Canadians are in charge of the build!
Will there be a hockey puck atop the bridge? Ooga Booga
How long will the concrete be left to cure before additional structure is added?
I wear my Gordie Howe bridge hat daily . Just have to remember not to wear it if crossing Ambassador Bridge . Thanks for the free hat
awesome
UNION JOB...I hope.
I hope this means I can make my weekly Molson's purchases easier.
what part of Windsor is the entry located?
is anyone else shocked that they used black reinforcement in the towers instead of epoxy or galvanized?
Where can I get a hat?
What rusty rebar not coated with rust protection ❓
they are securing future contracts.
@@gary5807 LOL
Surface rust doesn’t affect the rebar or its stability. It’s totally normal.
rust is iron+air+water
ain't too much air or water getting in there once the casting is complete, not for a good 50 years at least. if they do it right it'll last 100+ years
Intresting fun fact @@allisonhebert7070
