PROJECTS

Ever since Standard General Calgary (SGC) began operation, it has been a part of the growth story of Western Canada, and has been involved in the construction of airports, railway terminals, regional highways and much of the City of Calgary. This included residential sub-divisions, lake communities, golf courses, as well as commercial & industrial developments. Because SGC celebrated over 80 years of history, our list of key projects that defines our city is much larger than our memories. Here are some recent SGC projects that will soon service our communities:

Waterford Estates Development

The project entails Sanitary sewers, Storm sewers, and Watermains plus lot services.  Mains comprise of PVC & concrete pipe in which our crews specialize in these installations.  Our deepest sewer install is the Storm line approx. 9 m in depth that runs for roughly 580 m.  The underground crews are doing an exceptional job in maintaining a safe work area for digging at this depth.  Key to success is continued and constant communication between team members and suppliers to ensure timely material deliveries and installation, also keeping up with a clean work site.

SGC committed a total of three underground crews at any one time in Waterford during the busy point in the project.  Crews will complete this project in the Spring of 2025 before continuing into new phases.

Marda Loop Main Street (2023-2025)

Working as Prime Contractor for the City of Calgary, Standard General Calgary has engaged with numerous Subcontractors to complete the reconstruction of 33 Avenue SW and 34 Avenue SW.  This elaborate Project includes varying levels of underground removals, as well as reconstruction of pedestrian walkways and roadworks.  Hardscapes and streetscapes are the primary focus of this 2025 season and like all other scopes involve significant collaboration and scheduling with local businesses and traffic.

Glenpatrick Drive Infrastructure Replacement

(Town of Cochrane: “How the West is Now”)

The Glenpatrick Drive Infrastructure Replacement project involves enhancing the storm, sanitary, and water infrastructure along Glenpatrick Drive, stretching from 5th Avenue to Glenpatrick Road.  Additionally, Glenpatrick Drive will be repaved and widened, with improvements to the sidewalks to better accommodate increased traffic and enhance pedestrian safety.  Traffic calming measures like traffic circle will be implemented at various junctions.
The project also offers the optional replacement of private services upon request from property owners.

Bingham Crossing Interchange – Offsite Civil Works

Located minutes west of Calgary, in the growing community of Springbank, where a large scale commercial site is being established, known as Bingham Crossing.  To better accommodate this development, a significant upgrade to the adjacent interchange is necessary.

This two-year project will involve the construction of new entrance and exit ramps, twinning of the carriageway, and the addition of three traffic circles.

Springbank Runway Improvements (YBW)

Located in the Rocky View County community of Springbank just west of Calgary, Springbank Airport (YBW) is largely for flight training activities, air ambulance, Calgary Police Service HAWCS, and water bomber forest fire protection.  It is consistently one of the top 10 busiest airports in Canada in terms of aircraft take-offs and landings.

Oriented east/west, runway 08-26 is 35,000 m2 in need of some “TLC”, and it is scheduled for overlay maintenance plus more.  Flight #SG2025 incoming!
