JCCBI and NHSL are committed to effectively and transparently handling the deconstruction materials to ensure that the entire project is managed from a sustainable development approach.
 

A material traceability program lets the teams monitor in real time the path that materials take off site on their way to be reused.

Material transportation steps:

• The main leftover materials from the Champlain Bridge deconstruction project are concrete and steel.
• These materials are separated directly at the site and transported to authorized recycling centres.
• They are transported with trucks that are tracked with a GPS system.
• All trucks are weighed as they exit the site.
• The trucks are weighed again when they enter the recycling facility, and these two weights are compared by a computer system to ensure that all volumes are accounted for.
• This close monitoring ensures that the transported materials are duly tracked and that a record is kept of all volumes.
