Project Description

HEC completed a full review of an existing reinforced concrete weigh scale foundation at the Otter Lake Waste Management Facility in Halifax, NS. Due to the differing geometry of new weigh scale components to be installed, various modifications were designed including new reinforced concrete pedestals and back walls which were tied into the existing structure to support the new components.
