Abstract

The principle objective of this case study is to identify those components of the Hwy 5 between Hope and Coquihalla Lakes that are at risk of failure, damage and/or deterioration from extreme climatic events or significant changes to baseline climate design values. The nature and relative levels of risk are to be determined in order to establish priorities for remedial action. The assessment shall be carried out using the PIEVC Engineering Protocol, Version 9 dated April 2009. The scope of the assessment encompasses the current design, construction, operation and management of this infrastructure as well as any planned upgrades or major rehabilitation project in the planning stages. The study is set to address potential impacts of climate change predictions on drainage and culverts under 3 meters out to 2050. The results of this case study will be incorporated into a national knowledge base and analyzed with other case studies to develop recommendations around reviews of codes, standards and engineering practices. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E220308.
