Shamrock Lake Tunnel Liner Plate
A concrete box culvert located beneath Highway 11 near Shamrock Lake, about 31.5 km North of Nipigon was in critical condition. Constructed in 1938, the existing box culvert was quickly eroding and crumbling. Concrete patching and crack repair alone would not restore the integrity of the culvert and it was only a matter of time before the highway would require closing for repair. Located under 16.3m of cover and servicing a critical spawning habitat for Brook Trout, a trenchless solution was preferred over full replacement. Armtec proposed rehabilitation of the existing structure using Tunnel Liner Plate. [...]
