KENNEDALE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS

The Kennedale Traffic Operations project demonstrates the capabilities and knowledge of the mechanical design team in municipal shop / office spaces and LEED® documentation.

This project combined two sites, and four separate buildings. Acting as a hub for City of Edmonton traffic operations, the Kennedale Traffic Operations site accommodates the relocated and consolidated key facilities:  Signing Shop (overhead signs, barricades, detour and sign offices), Pipe and Paint Shop (DMS storage, road paint, pipe storage), Parking Meters, Vehicle Garages, Stores and Administration Offices and Staff Support Areas.

Traffic Field Operations building provides services for the fabrication and installation of the wide variety of street signs and parking meters, pavement markings and line stripping, as well as various temporary detour and road construction information signs and barricades throughout the City of Edmonton.

Arrow mechanical team worked alongside the entire project team to incorporate all of the program requirements in the new combined facility, collaborating with each of the unique City departments.

As the project was striving to meet the higher levels of LEED® Certification, our mechanical and energy modeling teams worked relentlessly to adjust design, model systems and follow through on installation and formal documentation.

As a reward for the efforts, this facility achieved LEED® Gold certification.  At the time, this became the largest LEED® Gold building in the City of Edmonton inventory; a unique and satisfying moniker for the entire project team.

According to the City, “the project came in under budget by nearly $1 million, a savings that was returned back to the City for future Transportation project.”
