Project Description Bearberry Creek was straightened out a number of years ago within the Town of Sundre just upstream from the confluence with the Red Deer River. Over the years the channel has been degrading back towards an existing grade control structure, which could eventually result in structural failure. Sameng Inc. was retained by Alberta Transportation to design a new steel sheet piling grade control structure located downstream from the existing structure. The design also included modifying an abandoned oxbow so that it could be utilized as a fish passage system for fish to migrate upstream around the new and existing grade control structures. Services Provided by Consultant : Reviewed project history and design of existing structure. Coordinated geotechnical investigation. Preconstruction surveys required for design. Hydrological assessment review of flood flows, flows during fish migration, channel velocities and water levels. Design of a fish migration channel with inlet control gates. Prepared engineering plans and specifications for construction. Prepared an engineers cost estimate for construction. Key Consultant Staff Gerald Samide, P. Eng. Allan Lang, P.Eng. Company Technician Company Survey Crew Start-up and Completion Date The project design started in November, 2001 and a tender package was ready in February, 2002. Construction of the project was put on hold due to budget constraints. Project Costs The engineering costs for the design were $ 35,000. Estimated construction costs were $ 760,000 for a new structure with fish way passage and modifications to the existing structure for the provision of a fish way. Owner of Project and Representative Alberta Transportation – Al Nilson ________________________________________________________ Lesser Slave Lake – Fish way Replacement Location - Lesser Slave Lake Outlet Structure – Slave Lake (Alberta). Project Description An existing wooden fish way installed at the control structure at the outlet of Lesser Slave Lake had deteriorated and was in need of replacement. Sameng. Inc. was retained by Alberta Transportation to design a new structural steel vertical slot fish way. Services Provided by Consultant : Reviewed of history of project and design of existing structure. Hydrological assessment to determine design flows, velocities and water levels through the fish way at various outlet flows. Design of new vertical slot fish way baffles. It also included the assessment and design of alternatives to deliver additional attraction water for the movement of fish through the fish way. Prepared construction cost estimate. Prepared drawings, specifications and tender package. Attended pre-tender meeting and answered contractors questions. Project/Construction management. Progress payments.

Company Technician ________________________________________________________ Poplar Bay Fish Habitat Improvement and Erosion Control Project Location - Summer Village of Poplar Bay on southwest shore of Pigeon Lake (Alberta). Project Description The fish habitat along a watercourse that enters Pigeon Lake is being compromised by: Bank erosion increasing the sediment loads within the channel and entering the lake. Existing culvert being placed too high and too steep thus preventing fish from migrating upstream. The built up of sediment bars across the channel that restrict fish movement upstream. The project consisted of lowering the existing culvert (well below the bed level of the watercourse), removing fish movement barriers and installing bank protection on 80 m of creek bank. Services Provided by Consultant Preconstruction surveys required for design. Hydrological assessment to determine design flows through the culverts and through the watercourse. Backwater curve modeling to determine flow velocities in areas where bank protection was required. Design of the culvert installation, erosion control works and other related works. Preparing preliminary report for cost sharing and water resource licensing application. Public relations with landowners so that they are in agreement with project. Replying to concerns raised as a result of advertising the project. Preparing tender package. Construction surveys and project management. Progress payments. Key Consultant Staff Gerald Samide, P. Eng. Company’s survey crew. Start-up and Completion Date The project started in approximately the last week of September 1995. Project was completed November 1, 1995.
