Completed in 2008, work on the second phase of the $95 million-Ottawa International Airport expansion created 7,000 square metres of additional holdroom space and new gates. The project added nine gates and seven passenger bridges to complement the existing 18 gates and seven bridges. Due to variable soil conditions on the site, foundations were designed using a combination of piled and conventional spread footings. A WWII airplane hangar, which was located on the grounds of the airport, was dismantled, but the original B.C. fir timbers, which once framed the hangar, were preserved and incorporated into the new building. This work completes Phase I, the structural portion of the expansion, which was also completed by GENIVAR, in 2003.
