PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Minister of Highways and Public Works REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1976/77 ISSN 0524-5362 Printed by K. M. MacDonald, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in right of the Province of British Columbia. 1977 The Honourable Alex. V. Fraser, Minister of Highways and Public Works. To Colonel the Honourable Walter Stewart Owen, Q.C, LL.D. Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of British Columbia. May it please Your Honour: Herewith I respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Department of Highways for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1977, in compliance with the provisions of the Department of Highways Act. ALEX. V. FRASER Minister of Highways and Public Works Office of the Minister of Highways and Public Works, Parliament Buildings, August 31,1977. Victoria, B.C., August 12, 1977 The Honourable Alex. V. Fraser, Minister of Highways and Public Works, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir: I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Highways section of this Ministry for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1977. The Report contains details of the work undertaken by the department in all phases of its operations during that period, and I will comment briefly on some of the highlights. Construction activity increased rapidly in the year from the previous 12-month period. An indication of the impetus afforded to highway activity was the announcement in the Throne Speech on January 13, 1977, of the intention of the Government to undertake the design and construction of a highway between Hope and Merritt by what is known as the Coquihalla route. This will be a four-lane, 60 m.p.h., access-controlled rural arterial highway of 70 miles in length and will reduce the road mileage between Hope and Kamloops by 40 miles. Avalanche snow conditions, environmental effect studies, and preliminary route reconnaisance and selection have been under way on this route for the last three years. Work continued on the extension of the Island Highway to Port Hardy in northern Vancouver Island. The final 43-mile section of new highway route was 40 per cent complete by the end of the fiscal year and completion is expected by the end of 1978. Four-laning continued on the Island Highway south of Parksville. On the Cassiar-Stewart Highway work progressed to completion on a 22-mile reconstruction contract and a further 24 miles was let to contract. In March 1977 the Province signed an Agreement for Western Northlands Highways with the Federal Government. This agreement provided for joint participation retroactive to April 1, 1976, and up until March 31, 1979, for a total Federal contribution of $15 million to be matched by the Province. This will apply primarily to Highway 37 in the Province. In highway surfacing, 196 miles of highway were paved in the summer of 1976 and contracts called, but not completed, totalled 322 miles, of which 270 remained to be paved in 1977. It was a wet, cool, and cloudy late spring and summer, affecting local paving; however, excellent weather in the fall and winter enabled road improvement work to proceed rapidly, partially with funds saved from snow removal and sanding, which was reduced in cost due to the mild winter. Over a million tons of crushed rock were prepared by contract in the fall of 1976. The year was a fortunate one with little in the way of serious flood or weather conditions; however, the end of the fiscal year in March saw the commencement of one of the worst spring thaws for bad road effect in recent history, in the Chilcotin Plateau and Bella Coola areas. During the fiscal year the position of Deputy Minister saw a change of incumbent with H. F. Sturrock leaving the position on September 9, 1976, succeeded on that day by the undersigned, and the title was changed to Deputy Minister of Highways and Public Works. J. A. Dennison and A. E. Rhodes, formerly Chief Highway Engineer and Comptroller of Expenditure respectively, became Assistant Deputy Minister and Chief Engineer, and Assistant Deputy Minister, Public Works and Administration. The Department of Highways during this fiscal year became the Ministry of Highways and Public Works. During the year, retirement of long-service employees were: 36 years: Neil C. Tattrie, Chief Property Negotiator. 36 years: Mrs. Hilda Haylmore, Office Manager, Lillooet. R. G. HARVEY Deputy Minister R. G. Harvey March 28, 1977 The Honourable Alex. V.

REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER Submitted herewith are the reports of the Executive Directors of the Engineering, Construction, Operations, and Planning Divisions. As will be seen from the detailed content of this Report, the productivity of this Ministry was quite extensive in all phases of operation and enhanced by favourable weather conditions throughout the year. The four-lane construction program at the lower end of Vancouver Island is progressing as is the similar program to Hope. Inflation was again very pronounced in British Columbia with an increase in construction costs of more than 16 per cent. Maintenance costs have also increased but the Maintenance Management Program is enabling the Ministry to attain maximum efficiency for monetary value. The Ministry has also been preparing itself for the changeover to metric measurement in the next fiscal year. Thousands of signs have been prepared in readiness for the event effecting speed limits and distance signs that will be changed throughout the Province in the early part of September 1977. Training programs and other aspects of this changeover have also been prepared. REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 17 M. G. Elston, Executive Director, Engineering Division. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF HIGHWAY DESIGN AND SURVEYS E. E. Readshaw Highway design and surveys carried out during the fiscal year from March 1976 to March 1977 are listed in the text of this Report, totalling 196.56 miles of completed design work, 217.13 miles of location line survey, and 276.48 miles of preliminary surveys. Of the design mileage completed, 26 separate projects were submitted to the Chief Highway Engineer for approval for award either to contract or to be constructed by the Ministry's own forces, a total of 111.30 miles. The most significant development in the year was that of the long-planned Coquihalla route from Hope to Merritt. This route will reduce the distance from Hope to Kamloops by about 40 miles. The highway will be constructed over the next eight years as a four-lane controlled access highway. Its estimated cost in 1976 dollars is $150 million. An environmental study has been initiated based on extensive preliminary work carried out in previous years. Staff on the Secretariat of the Environment and Land Use Committee are working jointly with the Branch to prepare a Stage I report. A centreline projection has been made on 1-inch to 100-foot mapping, and field survey work will commence in the coming year. In connection with the proposed coal development in the Chetwynd-Dawson Creek area of the Province, the Ministry of Highways has carried out studies for the development of primary highway alternatives to link the proposed new townsite with the existing highway system. This project was carried out under the direction of the Transport Subcommittee on N.E. Coal Development, one of a number of subcommittees reporting to the Senior Co-ordinating Committee. Through this committee structure we are able to obtain environmental and social input to add to our own engineering data, resulting in a well-rounded study. Two routes were selected for development from six possible corridors. One route was developed by consultants, the other by our own staff. The planning work was carried out in metric units. Approximately 50 kilometres of one route have been surveyed, and the clearing and grubbing contracts prepared. These will be awarded in the next fiscal year's work. Survey and design of the remaining 34 kilometres will also follow in the coming year.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 19 Alternate routes, Highway 13, Hedley to Keremeos. At Revelstoke, B.C. Hydro's planning for their proposed high dam involves the relocation of approximately 50 miles of highway, 23 between Revelstoke and the Mica Damsite. The Ministry has supervised the survey and design work for this task which, because of the volume of other work by our own staff, was awarded to consultants. Preliminary studies to the route are complete and arrangements for final design are in hand for next year. In the Trail area, the design of the final section of the new route from Kinnaird to Meadow Siding on Highway 3 was completed and the project let to contract. In Victoria, the design of the long-planned Blanshard Street Extension was finally completed and advertised for tenders. In addition, Highway 1 itself will be reconstructed to four lanes for 3V^ miles out of Victoria. These two projects should greatly relieve the growing traffic congestion at the entrance to Victoria. At the north end of Vancouver Island, designs were completed and contracts let for the final 28 miles of the Island Highway between Kelsey Bay and Port Hardy. This project was noteworthy in that it was designed in conformity with the recommendations of a full environmental study through a very sensitive area comprising major fish-producing rivers and the Tsitika River Ecological Reserve. Specifications provided for the assignment of full-time staff to monitor the contractors' construction activities to ensure the maximum degree of protection for fish and ecological concerns along the route. In the north, on Highway 37 from Kitwanga to Meziadin Lake, two design projects totalling 25.07 miles were also completed and are being let to contract. Here again, full environmental studies were made in previous years and specifications drawn up to ensure the maximum degree of protection of fish and wildlife values. Many other projects too numerous to mention individually are listed in the following tables.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE METRIC ENGINEER, 1976/77 Monthly meetings of the Metric Conversion Committee were held with representatives present from most Branches of the Highways Ministry. The planning phase of metric conversion was substantially completed, and scheduling of major events is being finalized. Metric amendments of the various Highway Acts were completed, and are awaiting presentation to the Legislature for approval. Manufacture of new metric speed and distance signing got under way so that the conversion date of September 1977 can be met. Quotations were received from five advertising agencies for a comprehensive program to advise the motoring public of the metric sign conversion. A brochure, newspaper ads and columns, billboard signs, radio messages, and TV clips will be used in this public awareness program. Close liaison has been established with the RCMP and municipal police regarding enforcement of metric signing. Revision of construction specifications, manuals, forms, and permits have been proceeding and will be finalized in April 1978. Some bulk purchasing of metric equipment has been undertaken, and more is contemplated. Plans for metric training of Ministry personnel are still in the formative steps. An adviser is available from the Ministry of Education to assist in advancing this program. It was resolved that where possible, all new highway projects will be prepared in metric units after September 1977. J. W. Nelson, Metric Engineer NOTE ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY, 1976/77 Two archaeological survey teams were funded by the Ministry for the purpose of examining rights-of-way that may contain archaeological sites. One team examined 184 projects and discovered five new sites, two in direct conflict with proposed highway alignment. The other team examined 63 key projects, uncovering 12 sites, two in direct conflict. In all, the teams covered 17,000 miles of territory in their investigation. This is a continuing project in order that we may best preserve the historic and prehistoric history of our Province. B 26 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF GEOTECHNICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING J. W. G. Kerr GENERAL The Geotechnical and Materials Branch continued to provide geotechnical and materials quality control services to other branches of the Ministry and to other ministries and agencies of the Province of British Columbia during 1976, within the limits of its resources. MANAGEMENT, ADMINISTRATION, AND SERVICES The establishment of a small field centre at Terrace has been completed, including provision of a limited laboratory, offices, and reporting Headquarters for five technical personnel. It is expected that this will result in the provision of improved economical service for northwest British Columbia and provide a base for a future geotechnical and materials centre to serve Region 5. The main laboratory and office building in Prince George has for a number of years been housed in a poorly heated and ventilated warehouse where operating conditions has been less than satisfactory. However, this year Public Works have arranged to provide a new, properly designed laboratory and office building which is under construction. This will not only conform to health and safety regulations but also provide testing facilities and operating conditions normally expected of an accredited laboratory. As a result it is hoped that both the quality of test results and the productivity of the staff will be improved. To expedite soil surveys and aggregate exploration for the N.E. Coal feasibility study and other high-priority projects in northern British Columbia, two new Mobile B33 drills mounted on articulated all-terrain vehicles were purchased and put into service in Region 4. Also a tracked personnel and equipment carrier was obtained to transfer personnel and small drills as well as to service Go-Trac mounted drilling equipment operating in areas of difficult terrain with minimal access preparation. Instrumentation for geophysical testing has been updated. A Time Domain Resistivity unit and 24-channel seismic unit were purchased to improve the accuracy and production of geophysical surveys to assess subsurface deposits and soil information. Field testing of an EM34 electromagnetic instrument has been initiated to evaluate its time and cost saving potential in aggregate investigations. Staff members attended a number of courses and seminars related to geophysics, terrain evaluation, geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and junior management. Two employees are enrolled in the three-year Executive Development Training Program. Five members of the staff were authors or co-authors of four technical papers. One on "Terrain Evaluation and Highway Engineering" was presented to the Western Cordilleran Section of the Canadian Geotechnical Society. Papers on "Aspects of Natural Slope Stability in Silt Deposits near Kamloops, B.C." and "Treatment of Rock Slopes on Transportation Routes" were presented to the 29th Canadian Geotechnical Conference. A paper on "Concrete Bridge Deck Performance in British Columbia" was presented at the Transportation Research Board Meeting in Washington, D.C. Other staff members served on Canadian Standards Association Committees A-23-2, Methods of Tests for Concrete, 080 Wood Preservatives, 823.4 Precast Concrete and A266 Concrete Admixtures; on the Roads and Transportation REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 27 Association of Canada Pavement Management Committee, which has achieved a final draft of a Pavement Management manual, on the National Advisory Committee on Rock Mechanics, and on the Technical Committee of the Canadian Diamond Drilling Association. The Branch also had representation on the Environmental Subcommittee, Transportation Subcommittee, and Townsite and Community Development Subcommittee of the N.E. Coal Committee. Information has also been provided for the Pacific Rim Transportation Study. The sharing of useful knowledge and establishment of standards, which lead to better methods of work, is prime output of these committees. The Branch regrets the death in service of Bud Botham, Drilling Superintendent. Mr. Botham worked his way up through the organization to this position. His cheerful hardworking contribution will be missed. The Branch also lost a valuable geographer, Research Officer 3, through resignation, whose position has remained unfilled. ROUTE SURVEY INVESTIGATION This function comprises terrain evaluation, field investigation of surface and subsurface materials and interpretation of data which when combined with geometric land surveys provided the basis for highway location and design. Terrain evaluation includes study of available information, geological history, landforms and airphoto interpretation; this provides a relatively quick and economical information base from which potential problems along the proposed route may be identified and, wherever possible, avoided by changes in preliminary alignment. The second stage of route appraisal consists of field exploration by geophysical methods such as resistivity and seismic refraction, field rock mapping, auger and diamond drilling and sampling or test pitting, use of penetrometers or other sampling techniques. Because these methods are costly, time consuming, and frequently involve some degree of surface and environmental damage to provide access and perform the exploration, the work requires careful planning and supervision to minimize impact and ensure that investigations yield the maximum benefit for the cost and the best use of our limited resources. Field samples are tested and the engineering properties identified. Other field information such as resistivity and seismic refraction patterns, drilling resistance, penetration resistance, loss of water, dip, stroke, and jointing patterns of rock are analysed in conjunction with laboratory information to assess the strength, support value, and settlement characteristics of the materials along the line to be traversed and its potential for use as fill material or aggregate. From this it is possible to estimate safe cut and fill slopes, acceptable heights of embankment and construction rates, required protection from rock falls, and to recommend preferred foundation designs for bridges and other structures. Aggregate sources can be identified, quantified, and assessed for optimum use. This season soil survey work was done on some 25 major projects representing about 150 line miles of highway. This included extensive work in connection with the N.E. Coal feasibility study, including townsite investigations, Kitwanga to Meziadin Lake, Prince George to Parsnip River, proposed relocation east of Hope and near Cranbrook, as well as projects of lesser length but with more complex problems such as the proposed Cheakamus Canyon reconstruction north of Squamish and Cape Horn Bluffs at Slocan Lake. Preparations were made to carry out surficial geology mapping and terrain evaluation this summer along the Coquihalla corridor between Hope and Merritt. In the Fraser Canyon at Slide 5 in the vicinity of Hells Gate, use was made of the statistical analytical procedure developed in conjunction with Dr. Piteau to relocate the highway an acceptable distance away from bouncing rock and, incidentally, to minimize traffic interruption B 28 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 from minor avalanches. Use of an extension of this procedure was also made to assess the statistical hazard from rolling rock on the proposed roadway relocation at Hope Slide. FOUNDATION INVESTIGATION AND DESIGN Foundation investigations require more detailed and costly subsurface exploration, sampling, testing, and close analysis of data than is normal for general route surveys to provide the required information necessary for the safety and economical design of bridge foundations, buildings, large culverts, and major fills. Foundation design reports all make recommendations concerning construction procedures such as permissible loading and settlement rate to avoid as far as possible subsurface or slope failures and assist in planning and scheduling construction. There has been a very uneven flow of requests for such investigations during the fiscal year. After a slow start in 1976 the number of requests for such investigation, many of them apparently urgent, increased rapidly toward the end of the year, with a falling off of demands again in spring 1977. Foundation reports were prepared for 21 bridge sites, 6 buildings, 8 high fills, and numerous large culverts. Pile-bearing capacities are usually difficult to establish accurately despite a variety of methods and tools applied to the subsurface investigations. The Branch, therefore, attempts to follow up on new investigation techniques and field trials. Studies have been started on a wave equation method of pile capacity prediction during driving and an assessment of necessary instrumentation is being made. The Branch also participated in the analysis, instrumentation, and load testing of a 243-foot-long test pile for the new Pitt River Bridge, the object being to arrive at the most economical pile design for this structure. STABILITY INVESTIGATIONS Landslides and rock falls are a recurring feature along the highways of British Columbia where the geology, topography, and precipitation combine to produce mass movements which are both a nuisance and a hazard to the public. Fortunately, relatively few serious slides occured in 1976. At Thuya Creek, 60 miles north of Kamloops, Highway 5 was severed for several days by a fill failure, the cause of which was attributed to underground seepage from a broken irrigation pipe. In the Peace River area, a very large slide at Cameron River cut off access to communities at Halfway River after heavy rains. Such was the extent of general instability along this side road that local reconstruction was considered impractical and access was provided by a different route. The Peace River Hill Slide at Mile 31.5 on the Alaska Highway, which cut the road for several days in 1975, was partly stabilized by regrading and by the installation of 8,200 lineal feet of horizontal drains to relieve high water pressures in the unstable sandstone and shale rock in the area. At Francois Lake where severe movement occurred during construction of a new ferry terminal last year, monitoring and analysis were used to permit carefully controlled reconstruction of the facilities this year. Numerous smaller slides, many exhibiting relatively small movement, were investigated. These minor recurrent failures require continuous maintenance and, apart from the economic drain and nuisance to the Ministry, can result in wastage of adjacent land. A number of troublesome slides are monitored over a period of time as opportunity permits to attempt to determine the type or depth of movement, seepage zones, variations in water pressure, and other factors which will eventually result in a stabilization design which may be more effective and economical than a procedure based on quick preliminary appraisals. REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 29 One such stability problem is located on Highway 97 at Stone Creek about 25 miles south of Prince George where danger of complete disruption of highway and railway communication exists. Instability of rock slopes were investigated at Driftwood Canyon Park and Lardeau; while mapping of rock structures was done for widening of Savona Bluffs on Highway 1 as well as proposed rock cuts for Cheakamus Canyon. Advice was also provided on rock instability problems at Salmon River Bridge near Sayward (Highway 19) and Highway 99 between Horseshoe Bay and Squamish. The crew specializing in scaling and rock work on high faces has continued to follow a program of activity with the potential volume of work likely to increase as the excavated rock slopes age and weather. Some of the more interesting projects of the crew were widening of a narrow section on the switchbacks above Young Creek on Highway 20 to Bella Coola; excavation, assessment, reinforcing, and protective concreting of foundation rock at the west pier of the Chilcotin Bridge; scaling at the approaches to Paulson Bridge on Highway 3; and grouting under the north abutment footing of the Nicoamen Creek Bridge in the Thompson Canyon, Highway 1. Studies and estimates are also being made for possible remedial stabilization and rock work at Slide 5 in the Fraser Canyon, Elko Tunnel near Fernie on Highway 3, and Odium Bluffs on Route 7 near Hope. Monitoring the movement of potential rock slides, on rock fall areas above highways continues. This work uses movement hubs, electronic distance measuring and precise survey techniques. The possibility of using remote monitoring is under review to assess whether a more reliable, continuous, and less expensive record of slope movements can be employed. The panel of specialist consultants is still studying the potential hazard at Rubble Creek. Another major activity within the stability investigation program is the preliminary terrain and slide hazard evaluation of proposed subdivision areas. A total of 164 areas representing some 1500 housing lots was reported as checked in this way. The Kamloops region alone saw a demand increase from 35 areas in 1975 to over 124 in 1976, which places a heavy burden on the limited resources for such work in that region. Area-wide studies are being completed east of Kamloops and a geologic hazard report has been completed for the West Bench-Sage Mesa area near Penticton. A start has been made on a general geologic hazard study for the Columbia and Windermere Lakes areas. AGGREGATE INVESTIGATIONS The search and quality testing for new sources of construction aggregates demands increasing effort as the best and most easily accessible sources are being depleted. A total of 154 areas was investigated by backhoe, auger drill, and geophysical methods. Field-run resistivity testing was done for 12 projects covering 78 line miles of survey at an average cost of $540 per mile, a saving of approximately $90 per mile of 1974, costs due to increased productivity resulting from improved instrumentation. Extensive field testing was done in the N.E. Coal area where construction aggregate deposits appear to be scarce or of poor quality. Preliminary road designs include plans for special base course stabilization in this area. Intensive gravel prospecting work is planned for Highway 27 between Fort St. James and Germansen Landing, as well as for the Districts of Burns Lake and Quesnel. B.C. Hydro and their consultants recently completed a study of future aggregate demand and availability in the Fort St. John-Dawson Creek area following a request by this Branch on behalf of the Ministry two years ago as part of the B 30 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 environmental impact study for additional dam sites on the Peace River. The final report is a valuable reference for commercial and public agency producers alike in the management of aggregate resources and land use. Such area-wide studies on future needs and availability of aggregate appears to be desirable for other areas in the Province. PAVEMENT EVALUATION AND DESIGN The Benkelman Beam Test Procedure, which measures the support strength of the road at the time of concern and provides for seasonal adjustments, is still the mainstay of our road maintenance, pavement thickness design, and construction quality control programs. In the construction and reconstruction program the strength and thickness requirements of 390 miles of roadway were assessed using Benkelman Beam Test equipment using the Canadian developed rebound method. Additionally, some 202 segments of road were evaluated to determine the shortest time that load restriction had to be imposed without causing unreasonable damage to the highway network. Special projects included the site testing, design, and construction supervision of a new air tanker base for the B.C. Forest Service at the Prince George Airport. The mild spring of 1977 has caused road weaknesses to occur earlier than usual in some areas, with the resultant increased demand on testing time. With the dwindling of good aggregate supplies in some areas of the Province and the increase in price of oil-based products, studies into the use of stabilization of lower-quality aggregates on new construction projects have increased this year to an important size. Pavement designs based on cement stabilization of aggregates have been tested primarily for contracts in the Prince George region. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE MONITORING The Branch continued to perform an extensive program of concrete mix design, field and plant inspection, and laboratory testing of material samples; to co-operate and consult with other Branches of the Ministry, with the Purchasing Commission and other ministries for the purpose of ensuring sound construction, specification, and purchase of materials of the required uniform level of quality. For example, Branch representatives participated in the revision process of 16 standard specifications either as originator or commentator on the proposal of others; approximately 1,300 separate materials inspections were done and some 3,300 concrete test cylinders were tested in compression. An interesting inspection program involved assurance of the proper application of water-proofing epoxy resin in a trout hatchery facility at Abbotsford. Branch staff prepared a program and monitored blasting at Hunter Creek Bluffs to ensure that vibration levels in the ground did not damage the Trans Mountain Oil Pipeline. Useful field data was acquired which may be applied for the improvement of future blast control specifications. Branch personnel recommended and co-operated with Bridge Branch and Construction Branch to undertake hydro brooming of deteriorated concrete on the deck of Lynn Creek Bridge and the inside of Rogers Creek box culvert to prepare the underlying sound concrete for resurfacing with high-strength concrete surfacing. Hydro brooming is a process whereby loss of deteriorated concrete can be removed from the surface of a structure by application of a very fine jet of very high-velocity water. The advantages and apparent success of the process indicates its acceptability for wider use in future in preference to chipping, abrading, and sand blasting. On behalf of the Purchasing Commission, a series of tests have REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 31 started which will lead to the selection of approved hard safety hats for use by staff of all Government ministries. APPLIED RESEARCH One of the three low-powered automatic recording units designed and built in this Branch has been used since April to record floor temperature changes in the rotunda of the Parliament Buildings. The changes in temperature may be causing the cracking of the floor tiles. In furtherance of our ongoing study of black ice problems, an analog temperature recording device was designed, built, and installed at the Port Mann Bridge for field testing. Is it anticipated that this will provide data to form the basis for a prediction system of freezing conditions on the bridge deck. Design and assembly of instrumentation for ice-pressure measurement at Kitwanga Bridge was continued consisting mainly of refining and modification of equipment. In close co-operation with the Bridge Branch a detailed field investigation of the cause of bridge deck deterioration has been largely completed and will be refined into a standard investigative procedure that may assist in early identification of possible trouble areas for attention. As part of the development of better night traffic controls for other Ministry branches, a darkroom to simulate night-time conditions has been completed. Also equipment has been developed to compare the light reflectance of various materials. A second field trial of long- wearing thermo-plastic lane markers was placed in the Vancouver area this summer. The special task group involved in reducing hazards from dust, noise, and fumes completed a joint remedial program with Region 3 in the operation of the Ministry's asphalt mixing plant there. Latest measurements and assessments indicate both the Workers' Compensation Board and operators are both very satisfied. The somewhat cool weather this year did not allow completion of a field assessment of fume and airborne dispersions behind the Ministry's asphalt sprayers, although an interim report has been prepared. In co-operation with Dr. Campanella of UBC Civil Engineering Department, conversion of our Headquarters laboratory triaxial soil-testing equipment to an air-pressure system was commenced to improve testing control and improve operator safety. A start was also made on development of a system to automatically collect and electronically record output of data from laboratory test equipment. This will permit more continuous recording of information and reduce overtime work. Three sections of the Cariboo Highway (Highway 97) from Quesnel south to Williams Lake were investigated to determine and evaluate the cause underlying the worst frost heaves. The Region 4 Auger Drill was modified for this purpose to drill with compressed air and C02 in order to retrieve cores of roadway and fill materials in their frozen state with the ice layers still present. These cores were analysed and a study report was issued relating frost heave to soil type with guidelines for the use of frost-resistent soils and construction methods. This modified rig was also used to investigate frost heaves in Regions 2 and 3 in the Okanagan and at Golden. Consultant Dr. D. Piteau has, on assignment by the Branch, produced a final report and computer program to simulate falling rocks based on Slide 5 in the Fraser Canyon, Hope Slide, and Porteau Bluffs on Squamish Highway. The program should enable predictions to be made concerning the statistically probable runout distances for falling rocks and enable improved highway designs and locations to be selected to minimize hazard to the travelling public and damage to highway structures.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 35 REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF BRIDGE ENGINEERING W. A. Bowman A total of $20 million was expended on bridges and ferry terminals, and the following reports of the Bridge Design Engineer, Bridge Construction Engineer, and the Dock Engineer give details of the activities of the Branch over the year. The completion of the Halfway River Bridge on the Hudson Hope-Fort St. John Highway and construction activity on a Pitt River duplicate bridge and the replacement of the Kiskatinaw River Bridge on the Alaska Highway were of particular note on the bridge scene. At ferry terminals the completion of new berths at Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay and modifications to the Little River and Westview terminals to accommodate a larger ferry, the Sechelt Queen, were the major activities. Bridge Design Design work continues to be diversified throughout the Province. Of particular interest is the commencement of work on the design of structures for the four- laning of the Trans-Canada at the Victoria outlet and also the Blanshard Street Connection to Highway 17. Contract documents were completed for a number of structures on the northern end of the Island Highway. The following are details of the program: i Included in Highway contract.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 37 Bridge Construction In the 1976/77 fiscal year, two vehicular bridges were completed or opened to traffic with minor work yet to be done. In addition, one bridge was improved by redecking, another had a sidewalk attached, and a third was raised. On March 31, 1977, 14 structures were under construction. Construction activity was slow throughout the year due to a cut in appropriations for the first five months and to two lockouts in the industry. One bright spot in the program was Pitt River Bridge on the Lougheed Highway. Work continued on the construction of the approach fills until their completion in October and construction commenced in April on the substructure. Except for the lockout periods, progress was excellent. Toward the end of November work commenced on the substructure for the new crossing of the Kiskatinaw River Bridge on the Alaska Highway, about 24 miles southeast of Fort St. John. Work continued throughout the winter, which was milder than most, and by March 31 work on the substructure was about 50 per cent complete. At the same time, behind the scenes, the steel fabricator responsible for the construction of the bridge had shop drawings prepared and steel plate for the bridge was arriving. On Vancouver Island deck construction commenced in mid-summer at Nanaimo River and Haslam Creek Bridges and this project was virtually complete by the end of the fiscal year. Due in part to a good winter, excellent progress was made on the substructure of the Englishman River Bridge which is located on new highway construction near Parksville. Of the approximate 2,800 tons of steelwork fabricated and (or) erected this year, a very small percentage went into new bridge superstructure construction. Most of the tonnage, aside from the 1,500 tons of pipe pile spliced and coated for the Pitt River Bridge, was involved in extending, upgrading, and refurbishing existing structures. Three hundred and seventy-four tons of steel-grid decking was erected on the north roadway of the CNR bridge at Prince George. This steel grid was fabricated out of Province and indicates a trend in structural steelwork, the result of strong price competition from other areas. The inspection of the plant manufacture of precast prestressed-concrete bridge units continued throughout the year. Total production included 153 box girders or 7,500 lineal feet, 52 I beams or 3,375 lineal feet, 12 piles or 645 lineal feet. Nine bridge decks totalling 144,180 square feet were resurfaced by application of a thin concrete overlay. Because of the slow year it was necessary for many members of the Bridge Construction Staff to assume new and different duties, for short periods of time. It was not a wasted year, for staff members gained knowledge and experience and many small projects benefited from their expertise.

Tasaka, Dock Engineer B 42 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF TRAFFIC ENGINEERING During the past year, activity again increased in the Province and the number of vehicles using British Columbia highways was significantly higher than in the previous year. The Traffic Engineering Branch continued to co-operate with individuals and organizations in the associated fields of traffic safety, traffic planning, standardization of traffic control devices, and traffic operations. The Director of Traffic Engineering represented the Ministry on the Roads and Transportation Association Council on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada and the Roads and Transportation Association Committee on Traffic Operations. Short-duration annual traffic counts were taken with automatic equipment at approximately 700 locations throughout the Province. Traffic volumes are recorded continuously throughout the year at 21 additional locations and eight of these recorders count traffic separately for each direction of travel. A further 133 automatic counts were taken for special purposes such as railway crossing, intersection, and planning studies. Punched-tape traffic counters are used as much as possible so that calculation of traffic count information can be done with data processing equipment. A translator machine located in the Traffic Engineering Branch office is used to transfer information from punched tapes to computer cards. In the summer of 1972, the Branch began to install electronic loop detection systems at regular short-duration traffic count stations on high speed/high volume highways. The new detectors, replacing the rubber road tubes previously used, allow employees to set up counters on the shoulder without having to venture onto the travelled lanes. Over 650 "loops" have already been installed at approximately 200 count stations throughout the Province. The program will be continued this summer. Summer daily traffic volumes for 1976 showed approximately 55,000 vehicles on First Narrows Bridge, 71,000 vehicles on Second Narrows Bridge, 44,000 vehicles on Knight Street Bridge, and 56,000 vehicles in the George Massey Tunnel. Data from the permanent count stations showed increases in 1976 over 1975 of approximately 3 per cent in the Southern Interior, 2 per cent on Vancouver Island, a decrease of 2 per cent in the Fraser Valley and an increase of 6 per cent in the Northern Interior. Many intersection problems were investigated during the year. This work included the taking of counts of manual vehicle turning movements and the preparation of design for the improvement of approximately 42 intersections. These improvements included widening, channelization, signing, and signal revisions to give greater capacity, eliminate hazards, and generally improve the flow of traffic. Numerous highway design plans were reviewed to ensure that intersections and interchanges would function well under actual traffic conditions. Six railway grade crossings were signalized in co-operation with the Federal Railway Transport Committee and the railways under the committee's jurisdiction. A number of speed limits were reviewed due to changing traffic conditions and, in consultation with the police authorities, changes were made where they appeared to be warranted. In some cases actual travel speeds were checked by means of radar speed meter. An addition of two changeable message signs to the existing system was completed by the Ministry late in 1976. This brings to nine the number of changeable message signs located in areas where severe winter conditions occur. These signs provide drivers with up-to-date information on road conditions. Drivers assisted REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 43 by the signs are those travelling the Salmo-Creston Highway, Fraser Canyon, Hope- Princeton Highway, and Terrace to Prince Rupert section of Route 16. The sign locations were selected on the basis of the avalanche hazard index, volume of traffic, and length and duration of road closures. The signs warn motorists of road conditions far enough in advance so that they have time to consider taking an alternative route. The signs have, in a mini-computer, a memory of 64 one-line messages. Up to eight messages can be displayed in sequence at any time. The messages, made up of 18-inch-high letters, are called up through telephone lines by a portable computer terminal. All that is required is the terminal and a telephone. The ease of operation enables the Ministry to make available to the public current information concerning road conditions, road closures, detour routes, and length and location of delays. The motorist sees a series of three messages which flash in sequence. Each message is exposed for a minimum of two seconds. The message is read by motorists as they drive, in much the same way as overhead directional signs. The signs can be controlled from the base of the sign, from the local highway foreman's office, from the regional radio room, or from Headquarters in Victoria. Cost of the two new signs added to the system, designed and installed by the Ministry, is $110,000. They were operational December 10, 1976. Traffic signals were designed and installed at 43 intersections throughout the Province. Flashing beacons were installed at eight intersections. Approximately 700 street-lighting luminaires were installed at intersections, highway interchanges, and ferry-landings. A stand-by generator system for Swartz Bay was designed and installed to supply power to the ferry terminal when B.C. Hydro power fails. Energy conservation continues to be the design criteria of the electrical section. All new lighting installations are designed with the more efficient yellow sodium fixtures. Massey Tunnel, the first tunnel relit in North America with sodium lighting, has now operated for a year. Comparison of B.C. Hydro billing for the years 1975 and 1976 shows a 19 per cent reduction in power consumed, even though daytime lighting levels were increased 20 times. Lighting of isolated intersections will use 150-watt high-pressure sodium fixtures instead of 400-watt mercury fixtures which reduces power consumption by 60 per cent while still giving 80 per cent of the light of the mercury fixture. Electrical design in traffic control is aimed at reducing maintenance by employing solid state equipment, which does not require regular maintenance, but does allow more design flexibility. B 44 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY ENGINEER J. LlSMAN The year saw a continuance of work started last year, and the planning of a systematic data collection process to spot road segments of above-average hazard. School pedestrian problems again presented many cases requiring careful individual treatment. The 12.1-per-cent reduction in traffic deaths during 1976 continued the downward trend which started last year, and can be attributed in part to the effect of the lower highway speed limits. The reduced deaths for the complete freeway/expressway network show that these inherently safer highways are producing the best benefit from lower travelling speeds. Maximum speed limits were carefully reviewed, with RCMP advice, and several increases proposed after examining the low fatal-accident record. This review is an ongoing process as roads are reconstructed and major improvements carried out. Following the review of traffic accident information, advice was given to the field staff on road improvement works, aimed at reducing hazard, such as easing of curves, improving sight distances, and placing guardrail. Certain sections of two- lane undivided highway, having an apparently poor accident record, were selected for study and work is proceeding to determine what practical improvements can be made to reduce risk to the average driver. Work continued in the installation of the sand-barrel Impact Attenuator devices on Highway 1 through Burnaby, and concrete guardwall was placed to protect errant vehicles from colliding with bridge support structures. Several accidents were reported in which vehicles crashed into the water-cushion Impact Attenuators at Second Narrows Bridge and the Brunette Exchange, first installed last year. The only injuries to the vehicle occupants were minor bruises or abrasions, contrasting with previous accidents at these locations, in which serious injury and death resulted. A major volume of Branch administrative work was again concerned with school pedestrian problems, responding in most cases to requests for treatment from parents. As experience was gained in dealing with these requests it was realized that there is need for a better system of handling them in order to deal with them more effectively, and a policy recommendation is now under preparation which will seek to include local communities more directly in these matters. The "Zebra" marking layout, which was experimented with last year, was adapted to produce a new standard school crosswalk treatment which is now being applied throughout the Province. The need for an improved guardrail program has been given close attention, and arrangements made for increasing production. Technical questions have arisen regarding the redirective capabilities of these guardwalls, and research initiated to determine the limitations of each of the three concrete types currently used in the Province. During the year problems of accurately locating accidents in the Provincial highway network were considered and, in consultation with the RCMP and the Motor-vehicle Branch, a marker system was devised which should enable police to report accident locations to within one-tenth of a kilometre. A pilot project was approved to place kilometre posts on Highway 3, from Hope to Keremeos, to test the new procedure before applying it generally in the Province. The new location REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 45 reporting will be made on the revised Police Motor-vehicle Accident Form, which came into effect on January 1, 1977. The Highway Safety Engineer serves as a member of the Canadian committee dealing with the economic elimination of roadside hazards, and represents the Province on a Federal-Provincial technical committee which guides development on road safety matters. In addition, he had continued to chair the Inter-Ministry Working Group of public servants, who consider traffic safety problems of common concern and assist in the formation of traffic safety policy. Hunter Creek Bluff, Trans-Canada Highway 1 west of Hope. Under construction. Completed four-lane divided highway. B 46 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 R. G. White, Executive Director, Construction Division. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION N. R. Zapf A very wet summer throughout most areas of the Province hampered construction progress. However, a dry autumn and a mild winter enabled most projects to remain on schedule. Work was performed on 35 projects, with a total value of $109,656,646.47 and an expenditure during the fiscal period of $35,928,640. Fourteen of the projects were fully completed during the year. The completed projects accounted for 95 miles of the 260 miles under construction. The final two contracts on the difficult North Island Highway between Sayward and Kelsey Bay have been awarded and work is progressing favourably. Care is being taken to avoid any permanent environmental damage that could occur. Good co-operation between this Ministry, environmental agencies, and the contractor has been achieved on the development of these projects in a very sensitive area. Four-lane development on southern sections of the Island Highway has reduced much of the congestion. Work is continuing north of Duncan, south of Nanaimo, and at Parksville and further multi-lane projects are expected in the near future. Several new projects have been called in northern areas with emphasis on the John Hart Highway north of Prince George, Highway 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert, and the Cassiar-Stewart Highway. On Highway 16 one major quarry project west of Terrace was completed and another begun. The section immediately east of Prince George should be completed in early fall. On the John Hart Highway two major projects will be under way this season. The Champion Lakes cut-off between Castlegar and Meadow Siding on Highway 3 is nearing completion. The first and second contracts are complete to sub- base gravel and the third is progressing favourably. A crushed gravel and paving contract over all three sections will be called perhaps in the fall to be completed for the travelling public in 1978. A much needed four-lane development project on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops recently commenced. Aside from the increase in through Trans- Canada traffic, rapid local development has taxed the capacity of the existing two- lane system. Completion of the first multi-lane portion is expected by the end of 1977. REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 47 Construction Branch personnel assisted the regions and districts in a number of areas by supervising major Day Labour projects. Some of these were the Foothills Boulevard in Prince George; Highway 97, both south and north of Prince George; Highway 16 west of Prince George; Cassiar Junction to Good Hope Lake; clearing at Kitwanga; Hope-Princeton passing lanes; north approach Overlanders Bridge and Halston Overhead, Kamloops; and four-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway from Haslam Creek to the Nanaimo River. The latter project includes a 37-foot span by 26-foot rise steel multi-pate structural pipe to be used as an underpass for the South Wellington Road. Installation is expected to commence shortly. The Branch has also assisted in the survey and design of several sections of the John Hart Highway and widening programs south and west of Prince George. Surveys and design are continuing on the leg from Cassiar Junction to the townsite and in advance of Day Labour to Good Hope.

Martin SURFACING During the year, 196 miles (315 kilometres) of roadway were paved under contract. Of this total, approximately 144 miles (231 kilometres) were contracted for prior to this year. In 1976, 32 contracts were called for the paving of 322 miles (518 kilometres) of which 52 miles (84 kilometres) were completed, and the balance is expected to be completed in 1977. In addition to the contract work, crews of the Paving Branch completed the roadmix paving of 68 miles (109 kilometres) of roadway, and the surface treatment of 193 miles (311 kilometres) of roadway and 97 miles (155 kilometres) of shoulders. In following the plan started last year, of timing the calling of contracts to allow for the winter-time utilization of personnel and equipment, it appears that a saving results. Despite the universal increase in prices during the period, the prices bid for contract items, on the average, show less than a 2-per-cent increase over the 1975 prices. In the interests of long-range planning for the efficient and economical maintenance of safe and acceptable surfacing on the Province's highways, a detailed study of the history and performance of the asphalt-concrete pavements was made. During the period of the study, it was ascertained that the volume of traffic had doubled every 10 years; in the 20 years between 1955 and 1975, traffic volumes had quadrupled. The accompanying chart indicates the rate at which the lengths of paved highways is increasing, the rate at which surfaces are being recapped, and the rate at which the surfaces should be recapped so that the maximum pavement age should not exceed 15 years.

JO. B 68 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Communications Engineer During the 1976/77 fiscal year, many changes were made to the Ministry's Region 2 mobile communications system. Five mobile radio repeaters were moved, two were eliminated, and the radio equipment in the remaining sites had to be changed. These system modifications were required to increase mobile radio coverage in the Chilcotin, Falkland, and Chase areas. Some repeaters were eliminated to reduce over-reach, a cause of considerable interference. The radio repeaters which were moved incorporated the more robust foundation design. New lightning protection systems were installed in many of the repeaters. The number of lightning- related repeater failures is decreasing as a result of our continuing installation of these systems. During the year, 500 mobile radios, 30 base stations, 180 portable radios, 38 trunk radios, 60 remote-control units, and many other accessory items were purchased for new and replacement purposes. The Ministry's mobile radio system is nearly 100 per cent solid state. Over the past few years the amount of radio equipment used by the Ministry has more than doubled. Maintaining this equipment with no increase in field radio maintenance staff has been possible due to the gradual retirement of the older tube-type radio equipment which requires a lot of maintenance time. Nevertheless, in 1976 it was necessary to add a Communications Technician in Salmon Arm, a graduate from our Cloverdale training program. We now have 12 Communications Technicians attached to the regions, and two Communications Technicians, a Stockman, and an Apprentice in Cloverdale, a Headquarters facility where special projects are organized, our stock is kept, and where our relief and training staff are located. The Victoria staff consists of the Communications Engineer, his Assistant, and a Laboratory Technician who builds and tests the special devices designed in Victoria. This Communications Technician spends part of his time maintaining field equipment for Region 1 in the Lower Vancouver Island area. In Victoria, planning is under way to upgrade the mobile radio system in Region 4. General systems development is continuing. Solar power, state-of-the- art low-power repeater equipment, and new repeater buildings are being studied, designed, and tested. Three remote meteorological data-gathering stations were installed near Salvus Camp, Kootenay Pass Camp, and Boston Bar. These stations are located near the source of avalanche zones. Wind speed and direction, humidity, and temperature are continuously monitored at these sites, and forwarded by radio to the nearby camps mentioned. These stations have been designed to operate unattended for five years, at which time battery replacement and other minor maintenance will be required. The remote station at Boston Bar is housed in a new steel building to afford maximum protection from lightning. Although constructed of steel, these buildings can be lifted, complete with radio equipment, by normally available Bell 206B helicopters. Only batteries where needed have to be installed after building placement. The total weight of this radio repeater system, minus batteries, is less than 950 pounds. In October the Headquarters staff at Cloverdale moved into a larger building. All stock items are now located under one roof and a dedicated bay is available for vehicular radio installations. REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 69 E. B. Wilkins, Executive Director, Planning Division. REPORT OF PLANNING DIVISION During the year, as a result of organizational changes, the Geotechnical and Materials Testing Branch was transferred from Planning to the Design Division. In addition, M. G. Elston, the former Senior Planning Engineer, took over responsibilities as the Executive Director of Engineering. The activities of the four remaining sections of the Planning Division are reported as follows: TRANSPORTATION SECTION The main thrust of this section was directed toward identifying street networks adequate to accommodate several cycles of land use over a long period of time. This co-operative work was continued in 43 communities and initiated in eight other communities. Several of the network plans were adopted at the regional district level and approved by the Ministry. Travel information was obtained in urban areas to support the street network decision. Traffic counts were recorded across strategically located screenlines in six communities as a continuation of a program, initiated in 1972, of monitoring vehicle volumes and vehicle occupancy characteristics. Two hundred fifty-nine person-days were required to complete this work using primarily summer students. Intersection counts and turning movements, representing 109 person-days of work, were recorded at critical sites in 13 communities. This information was supplemented by recording trip generation for various specific land uses. Twenty-five land uses were investigated, including a major hospital, a golf course, a marina, and several apartments and condominium blocks. A noise level survey was repeated at an overpass location which had previously been measured in 1975. The purpose of the survey was to record the difference in traffic noise levels at adjacent properties with the overpass in use compared to no overpass. In rural areas, roadside interviews were conducted at 33 locations throughout the Province utilizing 456 person-days. At two of these locations, data was obtained on inter-regional goods movements while at the other 31 sites information was recorded on inter-regional recreational travel. Origin destination trip tables were established from this information. B 70 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 In addition, 17 licence-plate tracing surveys were undertaken. In 14 cases the purpose was either to quantify traffic which had origins or destinations external to a community or to assess circulation patterns within the community. The other three surveys were implemented to determine travel patterns on urban arterials or freeways. These licence-plate surveys required 138 person-days to complete. In addition to the above, the transportation implications of several potential major developments were also investigated. These included the South East Coal Block, a recreation community, a B.C. Hydro dam, and a revised strategy for population distribution in the Lower Mainland, and the impact on the primary highway system of inter-provincial traffic between the Prairie Provinces and the Pacific Coast. The activity in the Transportation Section showed a 25-per-cent increase over that of 1975/76 and was accomplished with the addition of one engineer in a supernumerary position. APPROVING SECTION Major changes have been made in the administration of the Approving Section. In 1975 a court case ruled that the Minister of Highways could not delegate his authority in the Controlled Access Highways Act to his staff. This meant that the approval of zoning by-laws and controlled-access permits were delayed until such time that his Deputy Minister, who had the signing authority, could accommodate more work on top of a heavy work load. The Constitution Act was amended in the spring session of the Legislature, giving a Minister authority of delegation. Later in the year the Regional Approving Officers were designated by the Minister to sign on his behalf. This has meant a great saving in time for the public having by-laws and permits processed at the regional level. Late in the year the Liquor Administration regulations were amended not allowing neighbourhood public houses within one-half mile of a major or secondary highway, except with the permission of the General Manager of the Liquor Administration Board. This amendment relieves the Ministry of recommendations on the location of neighbourhood public houses throughout the Province. The section is continuing with educational meetings from time to time with regional and district staffs who are involved with the approvals process. MUNICIPAL PROGRAMS SECTION In the fiscal year 1976/77 the Municipal Programs Section dealt with numerous matters of common concern to both the organized municipalities of the Province and the Ministry of Highways and Public Works. Funds were administered in the amount of $1,511,594 to cover the Ministry's share of costs for construction work carried out on secondary highways, and $237,821 to cover the Ministry's share of costs for maintaining these secondary highways. Negotiations were carried out with 26 municipalities concerning cost-sharing work on arterial highways and with seven municipalities concerning cost-sharing work on bridges. A very large number of changes in classification were considered with 13 arterial highways being rescinded and 12 new arterials being established. Four secondary highways were rescinded and one was established. Comments were given to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding proposed municipal boundary extensions. Negotiations have continued with Kamloops, Kelowna, Prince George, and Nanaimo regarding amalgamation agreements. REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER AND CHIEF ENGINEER B 71 SYSTEMS PLANNING SECTION The Systems Planning Section introduced the recently developed British Columbia pavement smoothness gauge (metric version) to the Paving Branch to obtain measurements on newly laid pavements. Research is continuing to establish specifications for new paving contracts. The capital project status file was kept current and included work authorizations, construction programs, and annual estimates. The highway route mileage and landmarks file was updated and various computer listings and reports were produced and circulated. Changes were made to produce the inventory in kilometres. Some 10,000 miles of road were photologged, including 2,500 of special coverage for the Ministry of Energy, Transport and Communications of a 14-foot 6-inch-wide load travelling through the Province on a test run. Metrication of the photologging vehicle was completed along with a general update of the photographic unit to improve accuracy and readability of the instruments. The Systems Planning Engineer is co-ordinating data-processing services and equipment within the Ministry. He also assisted in negotiations leading to the three-year Federal Provincial Western Northlands Agreement on cost sharing for Highway 37. Finally, the section co-ordinated research activity reporting procedures for the Ministry in conjunction with transportation agencies. B 72 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 A. E. Rhodes, Assistant Deputy Minister. REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER, PUBLIC WORKS AND ADMINISTRATION The Government Reorganization Act, 1976 provided for a new Ministry of Highways and Public Works, thereby combining into one ministry the former separate Departments of Highways and Public Works. During the same period the British Columbia Building Corporation Act was given assent, the effect of which will in time transfer to the new Crown corporation the responsibility to provide and manage land and buildings for the accommodation of Provincial Government Ministries and Agencies of the Crown, to provide and maintain certain public amenities, and to acquire property for new facilities. The new corporation which will become operational on April 1, 1977, will eventually assume many of the functions previously performed by the Department of Public Works, the only exceptions being Safety Engineering Services and the Glendale Regional Laundry. These latter responsibilities will remain as part of the new Ministry. Construction of the new modern buildings and renovations of old has been the theme of the Public Works section in the past year which has resulted in fine new buildings such as the Health Services Building in Victoria being completed and occupied. The restoration of the Rithet Building in Victoria and 411 Dunsmuir Street in Vancouver was completed and such are now occupied. All are excellent examples of the theories, skills, and practical application of the personnel involved in the design and construction. There are numerous projects still in varying stages of design and construction to be completed under the jurisdiction of the British Columbia Building Corporation. The Safety Engineering Services reports a steady increase in their productivity reflecting not only a continuous growth of the Province but a continuing contribution to the national standards through representation and research to ensure that such standards are beneficial to industry and to society. REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER, PUBLIC WORKS B 73 Expenditures for the acquisition of property and the return from sales of surplus properties more than doubled last year's figures. Accidents involving all Government vehicles were fewer than the previous year with this Ministry recording a reduction of 13 per cent. Ironically, however, the total cost of all insurance premiums paid by the Government rose by 13 per cent. The financial reports of both Highways and Public Works conclude this Report.

Heavy rains during the summer of 1976 washed hundreds of tons of soil into road ditches and necessitated ditch-cleaning which extended until freeze-up. B 74 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL PROGRAMS A. R. Limacher The approved work force of the Ministry as at March 31, 1977, was 5,273 regular positions. In addition, seasonal auxiliary employees were hired to meet temporary work requirements. The total auxiliaries on staff reached a peak of 2,243 in the month of August 1976 and included 721 students. As in the past, the majority of new employees were hired directly within districts and branches for entrance level positions. Promotional opportunities during the past year required 1,321 postings of which 361 were processed through the Public Service Commission and the balance by Headquarters, regional, and district offices with the assistance of Personnel Officers. This office authorized expenses on transfers for 149 employees at a total cost of $291,000. Personnel Officers from this Branch, together with operating officials, continue to take an active part in Union negotiations and participated as management representatives on numerous committees established under the various B.C. Government Employees' Union Contracts and Professional Employees' Association Contract. This office processed 65 grievances and 20 appeals during the year. All were resolved without reference to an Arbitration Board. STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING The Training Section administers all training and staff development functions in the Ministry. Courses for the Highway Technology Training Program are being developed jointly with the British Columbia Institute of Technology and we currently have 13 courses available and an additional nine well under way. Approximately 850 employees are enrolled in the training program. The Ministry has 64 apprentices employed in seven different trade groups. Twelve apprentices graduated this year and have continued employment with the Ministry as journeymen. The demand for operator training continued heavy and this could only be met by the regional driver-trainers with the assistance of district training operators. Ten driver-trainers and training operators received bronze awards from the Canada Safety Council for instructing Defensive Driving Courses. The Ministry had two employees, M. J. O'Connor and O. T. King, successfully complete the three-year Executive Development Training Program through the University of Victoria and a further two employees, J. J. Chenoweth and L. F. Johanson, complete the one-year correspondence course in public administration. Several hundred employees were sponsored to attend seminars and miscellaneous training courses in addition to those noted earlier. SAFETY AND HEALTH New incumbents were appointed to the positions of Regional Safety Officers in Regions 2, 3, and 4. Districts and Regional Safety and Health Committees conducted meetings on a regular basis and forwarded a number of agenda items to the Headquarters Committee for consideration. The sound-level survey made good progress with measurements being completed on 26 ferries. Two dosimeter units were purchased and a program started on sound measurements on mobile units. Regional Safety Officers were given instructions on the use of these units as well as how to carry out illumination surveys. REPORT OF ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER, PUBLIC WORKS B 75 Workers' Compensation Board claims totalled 320 time-loss and 333 medical aid. The countable accident frequency for the Ministry was 43.7 as compared to 42.2 in the previous year. Region 2 won the Honourable the Minister's trophy and Regional Safety Awards were won by Chilliwack, Lillooet, Creston, and Fort St. John. Total vehicle miles driven by Ministry operators was 36,150,316 miles. There were 515 vehicle accidents of which 248 were preventable and 267 were nonpre- ventable. The Ministry processed 36 employees through the Division of Occupational Health and the Union Management Screening Committee in an attempt to relocate employees who no longer could perform their job due to health or other reasons.

Drew In the 1976/77 fiscal year, 795 claims were settled and a further 1,039 claims were in the process of negotiation. Two arbitration cases were completed. The expenditure on acquisition of rights-of-way and other property required by the Ministry totalled $8,781,450.94. Land expenditure for the Libby Project required an expenditure of $387,725. There were 63 buildings sold by public auction and tender for removal from highway rights-of-way. The sales were conducted by the Purchasing Commission and recovery from sales amounted to $46,743. During the period, 150 buildings and parcels of land were under lease or rental. Gross revenue from rentals was $69,684.97. In addition to this, a number of properties were transferred to commissions under the jurisdiction of other ministries for agricultural and housing purposes. In the fiscal year a research section was formed to gather historical information on the status of roads within Indian reserves throughout the Province. This is an arduous task, and will require a number of years to complete. Sandstone rock production to be used for road-base construction and erosion control. The Dawson Creek Highway District ripped and pushed into stockpile for future use 28,000 cubic yards of this material during the winter of 1976/77.

The bridge is constructed over the Tupper River and serves the farm settlement area of Gundy. B 96 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REGIONAL REPORTS REGION 1 (P. J. Carr, Regional Highway Engineer, Burnaby) North Vancouver, Gibsons, New Westminster, and Chilliwack Highway Districts North Vancouver District Roads Maintenance—Unusual weather patterns resulted in maintenance throughout the year being oriented to what is generally considered summer activities. Precipitation, both in the form of rain and snow, was well below average. Consequently, winter activities, such as snow ploughing, sanding, and salting were greatly reduced. Also, flood conditions were experienced, and related drainage problems, to the magnitude that would normally be expected. The mild winter allowed diversion of some funds normally spent on snow removal to general improvements, such as major regravelling of the Upper Squamish Valley Road, and some shoulder upgrading and paving on Garibaldi Highway 99. Also, an extensive machine-brushing program was undertaken throughout the district along with a major hand-brushing program to improve sight distance on curves along Garibaldi Highway 99 between Horseshoe Bay and Britannia. Through the summer months considerable time was spent on major asphalt patching on Garibaldi Highway 99 in the Garibaldi to Whistler area in an effort to preserve the rapidly deteriorating pavement until complete resurfacing is undertaken. A large rockslide occurred in August on Garibaldi Highway 99 at Windy Point north of Horseshoe Bay. The highway was blocked for a time and a large retaining wall was extensively damaged. The wall was rebuilt by the district bridge crew. During the latter two months of the fiscal year, extensive rockscaling on the high bluffs was undertaken on the Horseshoe Bay to Britannia section of Highway 99. Also, as an extension to the minor betterment program, several pull-out lanes for slow-moving vehicles were constructed and paved along this section of highway. Snowfall was light in all areas of the district, averaging 12 cm total at North Vancouver, 65 cm total at Squamish, 264 cm total at Whistler, and 132 cm total at Pemberton. Construction—The construction season was considerably longer this year than normal due to mild winter conditions. Work on Garibaldi Highway 99 between Garibaldi and Mons continued relatively uninterrupted most of the year. This is a continuing project consisting of widening and grade and alignment improvements in preparation for paving. Work also carried on through most of the year on the reconstruction of Pemberton Portage Road, White Creek to Poole Creek section. This is also a continuing project consisting of widening and minor alignment changes. Slope stabilization and bin wall construction were completed on the second phase of the Suicide Hill project on Garibaldi Highway 99 south of Pemberton. This project, undertaken to resolve a rock-fall problem, will continue in 1977. Approximately one-half the length of the project of near vertical slopes were stabilized with shotcrete and over the remaining section a catchment area to contain the slough from the slopes was created by moving the road away from the slope. The REGIONAL REPORTS B 97 work completed to date has effectively resolved the hazardous aspects and greatly reduced the maintenance that was caused through erosion and the falling of large boulders onto the travelled surface of the road. Smaller projects undertaken in the district consisted of base strengthening and repaving of 1.5 miles of the Pemberton Meadows Road, construction of a right-turn lane on Taylor Way at Trans-Canada Highway 1, and the installation of a concrete crib wall at Capilano River to accommodate a future alignment revision west of the bridge. Also, median barrier was installed from Taylor Way through to Lloyd Avenue on the Trans-Canada Highway 1 and on Marine Drive from Capilano Road to the underpass on the First Narrows Bridge approach. Bridges and Ferry-landings Several treated timber bridges on Garibaldi Highway 99 between Horseshoe Bay and Britannia were stripped of their deteriorated asphalt surfaces, the laminated decks patched and renailed, and new asphalt surfaces applied. These bridges also had new railing installed. Ryan Bridge, on the Pemberton Meadows Road, was strengthened on the span section and completely redecked. On the Squamish Valley Road the Pilchuck Bridge was condemned and a Bailey bridge installed in its place as a temporary measure until a new bridge can be built. Deck strengthening of the log-stringer span on Rubble Creek Bridge, on Highway 99 at Garibaldi, was done as a temporary measure until it is replaced with a new structure that is currently being planned. The less severe weather conditions this year did not result in flood situations severe enough to cause any substructure damage or large log jams that normally can be expected in many areas of this district. Buildings Exhaust fans were installed in the Squamish and North Vancouver maintenance yards and a protective roof to carry heavy snow loads was constructed over the foreman's mobile home in the yard site at Alta Lake. No major work was done on the other facilities in the district this year. Gibsons District Roads Maintenance—Normal maintenance was carried on throughout the district with the major activities being ditching, brushing, patching, and gravelling. Winter maintenance was below average and few problems were encountered with flooding. About 3.2 miles of side roads were roadmixed in the minor betterment program. Other minor betterments included a brushing program, extra ditching programs, and a reshouldering program. Construction—A very wet summer hampered our construction program to some extent but the majority of projects were completed. Pratt Road was widened and paved, Twin Creeks Road, Field Road, and a portion of Browning Road were reconstructed. Widening of Garden Bay Road was started and eight old wooden box-culverts were replaced on Highway 101 in the Powell River area. Bridges No. 7831 Anderson Bridge and No. 7383 Phillips Bridge were replaced with pile abutments and timber and steel stringers respectively. Both have treated timber decks. Buildings A minimum of maintenance was carried out by Public Works. B 98 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 New Westminster District Roads Maintenance—Winter activities were kept to a minimum owing to the above- average temperature and below-average precipitation during the winter months, resulting in very active minor betterment and day labour programs. All roads were maintained to a reasonable standard with emphasis on bringing the mowing, brushing, signing, and ditching up to a uniform requirement within the district. Weeding, replanting, and bark mulching were continued at Knight Street Bridge. Construction—The grade construction was completed on Westminster Highway from Knight Street to No. 5 Road and turned over to the Construction Branch for completion. Reconstruction and paving of Sunnyside Road was completed after a three- year program. Reconstruction of Belcarra Bay Road was undertaken with intersection to Salish Road and Turtle Head Road. One mile of curb and gutter was constructed on Marine Drive at UBC. Road base repair and repaving of Sprott Street and Highway 1 were completed. Fifty-one miles of shoulder on Highway 1, 22 miles of shoulder on Highway 99, and 16 miles of shoulder on Highway 99a were reshaped and stabilized by flush coating. Intersection improvements were carried out at Highway 1a and 144th Street, Highway 1a at 216th Street, Highway 10 and King George VI Highway 99a, Highway 7 and Dewdney Trunk, Highway 7 and Gaglardi Way, Sea Island Way and No. 3 Road, St. John's Street and Moody, Steveston Highway and Highway 99, Highway 10 and Cloverdale Bypass, Highway 1a and 232nd Street, Highway 1a and 264th Street. Traffic signals and lighting were installed at Highway 1a and Highway 15, Highway 1a and Highway 13, Highway 10 and Highway 15, Highway 15 and 60th Avenue, Highway 99a and 80th Avenue, Highway 15 and 96th Avenue (red flasher), Gaglardi Way and Broadway Extension, Kensington Avenue and Sprott Street. Installation of 27-inch and 30-inch guardrail and inertial barriers was continued on Highway 1 at bridge piers between Cassiar Street and the Port Mann Bridge. Television cameras were installed in the George Massey Tunnel for complete visual surveillance of the tunnel roadway by the Control Tower operators. Bridges Major concrete redecking was undertaken on Highway 1 at First Avenue, Sprott Street, Deer Lake, and Willingdon. Also on King George VI Highway at Bear Creek. Concrete slope stabilization was completed under Knight Street Bridge. Expansion joint repairs have been initiated on the Oak Street Bridge. Weigh-scale pit and approaches were rebuilt at the Port Mann and Massey Tunnel weigh-scales for the Ministry of Energy, Transport and Communications. A large quonset hut was moved from Mission to Cloverdale and re-erected for centreline paint storage. A 50-foot lunchroom trailer was provided at Cloverdale for mechanics. A number of small out-buildings in the Oak Street yard were demolished and the yard cleared of debris. Ferries Both the Albion and Barnston Island ferries operated as per their schedule. The Mainland landing of the Barnston Island ferry was rebuilt. Redecking of four spans of the south approach ramp to the Albion ferry was completed. REGIONAL REPORTS B 99 Chilltwack District Roads Maintenance—District roads were well maintained throughout the year. Approximately 21 miles of ditches were cleaned. Roadside areas were brushed and mowed to the required standard. Daily pickup of litter and clean-up of rest areas was carried out during the summer months, and as necessary for the remainder of the year. Oil was applied to 15 miles of gravel road to control dust, and sign maintenance was of a good standard. Construction—Reconstruction of 1.6 miles of Sylvester Road was completed and an additional 1.4 miles started. Hemlock Valley Road reconstruction continued. Construction of 0.7 mile of frontage roads was undertaken in Abbotsford Municipality, and a revision to Highway 11 Interchange on the Trans-Canada Highway 1 was completed. Left-turn slots were constructed on Yale Road West at Hocking Avenue and Airport Road. Left-turn slots were completed on the Lougheed Highway 7 at Manson Road and Sylvester Road. Reconstruction of 0.60 mile of Sumas Mountain Road was completed. Surfacing District crews paved over 6 miles of road, recapped 1 mile, and paved 2.45 miles of shoulder. In addition, approximately 5 miles of pavement were recapped under a district contract. Snow Removal Snowfall was considerably below average. District roads were sanded and ploughed when necesary, and kept in good condition. Bridges The district constructed a 120-foot-long bridge over the Sumas River as part of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 frontage road system in Abbotsford Municipality. A district contract was called for driving the piles, and the remainder of the bridge was erected by the district bridge crew. Cooper Bridge and Sharp Bridge were completely reconstructed. Hemlock Valley Bridge 3 was widened, and several timber bridges were redecked. REGION 2 (R. G. White, Regional Highway Engineer, Kamloops) Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Penticton, Merritt, Lillooet, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, and Kelowna Highway Districts Kamloops District Roads Maintenance—Severe spring break-up on the older paved surfaces of the Yellowhead Highway 5 and Westsyde Road required an above-average amount of hand and machine patching. Shoulder gravelling on the first 2 miles of the Kamloops to Merritt section of Highway 5 was a priority item as was the resurfacing of two pieces of the Lac Le Jeune Road. Extensive flooding was encountered in the early summer and resulted in the loss of minor bridges and some gravel road in the Leone Creek area of Barriere. B 100 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 The Thuyea Creek slide caused the loss of approximately 200 feet of the Yellowhead Highway 5, 17 miles north of Barriere, and several minor slides in the district required immediate attention by the maintenance crews. Winter snowfall was less than average and no major problems arose in snow clearing operations. Construction—Upgrading of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 by the addition of truck passing lanes at Cherry Creek and Six Mile Hill was the main undertaking of the major day labour program; however, reconstruction work was carried out on the Bridge Lake Road, the Clearwater Valley Road, and the McLure Flats area of the Yellowhead Highway 5. Bridges An above average run-off in early summer required the constant attention of the bridge crew in clearing debris from bridge piling. Extensive repairs were required on the Vavenby Bridge, and the Candle Creek 2 and Spahats Creek bridges were eliminated. Ferries No major problems were encountered in the operations of the McLure and Little Fort ferries; however, the landings required excessive maintenance mainly due to the high-water encountered. Salmon Arm District Roads Maintenance—Routine maintenance was carried out in all areas of the district. Major improvements to note are 26.4 miles of road regravelled, 55.8 miles of road oiled (dust control), 9.1 miles of drainage ditch improvements, and 4.6 miles of road widened. Construction—Reconstruction of 66.51 miles of road was carried out with the following breakdown: 18.9 miles of road sealcoated; 23.5 miles roadmixed; 22.1 miles of road widening, diversion, guardrail, gravelling, and ditching; and 2.0 miles of road right-of-way cleared. Snow Removal Normal snow conditions prevailed throughout the district. All roads in district were kept open and good driving conditions prevailed. Bridges General maintenance was carried out on all bridges. A total of three bridges was reconstructed. Sicamous Bridge 606 had two 40-foot-long spans replaced by one 80-foot steel span. Simm's Creek Bridge 6722 was relocated and reconstructed after being destroyed by flood. This year saw the introduction of the Maintenance Management Materials system which is showing control on our stock system. Also introduced was the Equipment Management system which is progressing as planned. Maintenance Management system is progressing well with some good results. Vernon District Roads Maintenance—Spring break-up resulted in an extensive patching program, particularly on Highway 97 and the Vernon-Slocan Highway 6 east of Lumby. REGIONAL REPORTS B 101 Two minor paving contracts supervised by the district restored comfortable driving to the above roads. A cool, wet summer prevailed, particularly the month of August when heavy rains caused minor flooding and washouts in the Enderby-Mabel Lake area. High- water on the Shuswap continued well into the month of September. Increased day labour and minor betterment projects kept district forces very active throughout the late summer, fall, and winter. Subdivision activity in the North Okanagan-Shuswap continued. The Vernon office processed 171 tentative subdivisions, 134 final subdivisions, 39 land use contract and rezoning applications, as well as 582 permits were issued for work on Crown land. The roadside development plant in Vernon, operated by the district, produced 2,520 lineal feet of 18-inch no-post guardrail and 7,024 lineal feet of 27-inch no-post guardrail. Fifty-four terrazzo-finished concrete picnic tables and 18 toilets were manufactured for various roadside rest stops throughout the Province. A total of 8,220 lineal feet of binwall was manufactured to be utilized on Highway 97 between Vernon and Oyama. Construction—Reconstruction continued at Mile 9.5 on the Enderby-Mabel Lake Road. Rock and poor soils resulted in a considerable expense to bypass a dangerous section of the road to Mabel Lake. Reconstruction of the Westside Road resulted in the section from Whiteman Creek (Mile 12.45) to Ewings Landing (Mile 17.95) completed and ready for paving, and Ewings Landing to the Fintry Delta Road (Mile 21.15) reconstructed. Clearing was completed from Fintry to Nahun at Mile 24.5. A new route through the Nahun Bluffs is being surveyed for reconstruction in late 1977. Reconstruction of the Sugar Lake Road in the Upper Shuswap Valley continued. A new gravel pit at Mile 1.9 was cleared and grubbed for the new construction. Many narrow sections of the Creighton Valley Road east of Lumby were widened and improved. Rock work to widen poor sections of the Lumby-Mabel Lake, Trinity Valley, and Inch Logan Roads was completed. A number of side roads in the Enderby, Vernon, and Cherryville area were extensively gravelled. New intersections of Highway 97a northeast of Armstrong and at Larkin in the Spallumcheen Municipality were completed. District forces commenced widening for three- and four-laning sections of Highways 97 and 97a at Oyama, O'Keefes, and Armstrong. Widening and improving of Highway 97a from Grindrod to Mara Lake was carried out by district forces in preparation for a resurfacing contract from Grindrod to Sicamous. Surfacing A small contract was called to pave Herry and Cools Roads in the L and A area north of Vernon. District forces undertook a sealcoating program completing 4.42 miles in the Enderby and East Vernon areas. Snow Removal Snowfall throughout the district was well below average. Milder than nomal temperatures tended to create icing conditions, requiring a high use of salt. Bridges District bridges were inspected and maintained as required. Baxter Bridge over the Shuswap River on Trinity Valley Road was redecked, including the replacement of floor beams on the twin-howe trusses. The Cherryville Bridge on the B 102 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 North Fork Road was reconstructed, replacing the last King Truss in the district with a pre-stressed precasted box-stringer span. Butters Bridge on the Lumby- Mabel Lake Road was redecked. Bridge site plans were prepared for Jones Creek and Lumby Bridges within the Village of Lumby on the Vernon—Slocan Highway 6. Penticton District Roads Maintenance—The year 1976/77 was a relatively uneventful one with the exception of increasing construction activity at the end. The 1976 spring freshets on the Similkameen and Okanagan Systems was nominal and only minor bank protection work was carried out. Very light snowfalls during the 1976/77 winter permitted a high level of normal maintenance activities which is something not usually experienced, particularly in the Allison Pass and other mountainous areas. The Maintenance Management system was fully integrated into district maintenance during the year and many benefits are anticipated. Construction—Work was accelerated in the latter part of the year and significant progress was made in major construction work between Hedley and Keremeos and on the Hope-Princeton Highway. Highway 3a between Highway 97 Junction and Yellow Lake was also placed under four-lane construction. Highway 3a from Yellow Lake to the Highway 97 Junction was also well advanced in three- and four-lane construction. The minor betterment program resulted in many additional maintenance improvements in all foreman areas. General maintenance concentrated on improving drainage and ditches in all areas and regravelling of shoulders as required. Bridges District bridge crews completed construction of a bridge at Allison Creek on Highway 5. This was the last of the structures to be repaired after the 1972 floods. Buildings Alterations commenced to the existing personnel building at Allison Pass to provide a proper assembly area for road crew. Merritt District Roads Maintenance—Considerable emphasis was given to upgrading district side roads, with many minor relocations and a heavy gravelling program being carried out. Notable among these were sections of the Silver Skagit, Tunkwa Lake, Penask, and Coalmont Roads. Pavement deterioration resulted in an above-average patching requirement on Highway 3 and Highway 5, south of Merritt. Considerable machine brushing was undertaken, particularly in the Fraser and Thompson Canyon areas and the rocksealing program to reduce the danger from fallen rock in the Fraser Canyon continued. Despite a wetter than normal summer, the demand for dust-control measures increased. Knapweed control spraying was given a good deal of emphasis. Due to an exceptionally light winter, considerable savings were possible in snow removal costs. REGIONAL REPORTS B 103 i 1 Constructing four-laning Trans-Canada Highway 1, Project 3026, winter 1976, Gladwin section. 2 Gabion Wall installed at Mile 197, Trans-Canada Highway, Fraser Canyon. Wall was installed for protection to the traffic from falling rock and also to act as a storage area for an avalanche path zone. 3 Removal of the king truss No. 6556 Stein Bridge by the Merritt District bridge crew. 4 No. 6556 Stein Bridge 110 feet of standard width double-single Bailey. B 104 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 A washing program was initiated in the Fraser Canyon tunnels to improve the level of illumination and aesthetics. Construction—A large program of passing lane construction was undertaken in the Fraser and Thompson Canyon sections of Highway 1. Six lane-miles were completed, including paving, and a further 17 miles were constructed ready for paving. A similar program of shoulder widening and passing lane construction was carried out on Highway 3 east of Hope. Upgrading of Highway 8, Spences Bridge-Merritt continued as did 17 Cold- water Road. Upgrading and pulvimix paving of 173 Highland Valley Road was completed. Bridges A comprehensive program of bridge maintenance was undertaken. Stein River Bridge, an old king truss, was replaced by a double-single Bailey bridge. Repair work to Nicomen Creek Bridge on Highway 1 was completed. Ferries Normal service was maintained throughout the year on both the North Bend aerial ferry and the Lytton reaction ferry. A contract was awarded for fabrication of new towers and accessories for the Lytton ferry and this work is to be completed next year. '■>...

REGIONAL REPORTS B 105 Before blasting on 65 Petit Creek Road. After the blast and cleanup on 65 Petit Creek Road. b 106 highways and public works report, 1976/77 Lillooet District Roads Maintenance—In the Lillooet foreman area, over 10 miles of the Lillooet- Pioneer Road 40 had catch roads and embankments cleaned up prior to a surfacing project. Three miles of the Texas Creek Road were straightened out to facilitate large house trailer moves in this area. One mile of the Lillooet-Cache Creek Highway 12 was also straightened out, along with brushing out and reditching of back roads. In the Ashcroft foreman area, 2 miles of the Hat Creek Road were widened and straightened along with 1 mile of the Loon Lake Road having ditching done through a heavy rock cut. The old Cariboo highway within Cache Creek had several rock points taken out. Reshouldering and reditching were carried out on some 14 miles of the Cariboo Highway 97. In the Goldbridge foreman area, reditching, clearing of catch roads, and brushing out were carried out. Several hundred feet of guardrail were placed on narrow spots on the Bralorne Road 40. Construction—Two miles of the Lytton-Lillooet Highway 12 were reconstructed 4 miles south of Lillooet to straighten out some sharp curves, 3.5 miles of the Lillooet-Cache Creek road were reconstructed in the vicinity of Pavilion Lake, along with a further mile near Sallus Creek. An extensive regravelling project was carried out on a 10-mile stretch of road near Mission Dam on the Lillooet-Pioneer Road 40. Five miles of the Gun Lake Road were reconstructed which necessitated some rock work adjacent to summer homes, making for careful blasting. In the Ashcroft-Loon Lake foreman's area, 3 miles of the Loon Lake road have been reconstructed, 2 miles of this over completely new territory, the other mile being along Loon Lake, which included widening the present road. One-half mile of new connecting road was built to a subdivision road at Cache Creek, along with another mile of subdivision road at the southeast end of Barnes Lake Road in the Highland Valley. Surfacing One-half mile of hotmix was placed on a Cache Creek subdivision road, with blademix being placed on 1 mile of the Loon Lake Road and also 1 mile of the Lillooet-Cache Creek Road. One mile of blademix was laid on the Lytton-Lillooet Highway 12, 4 miles south of Lillooet. Snow Removal Snow amounts were approximately half the average throughout the Lillooet District. However, a fair amount of chemicals were used on the Trans-Canada- Cariboo Highway, and Highland Valley roads, due to sudden icing conditions in these areas. Bridges Bridges throughout the Lillooet District were kept in good repair, with a comprehensive paint program being maintained. Ferries The reaction ferry at Big Bar was taken over by 100 Mile House District, although temporarily under maintenance by the Lillooet bridge crew. REGIONAL REPORTS B 107 100 Mile House District Roads The 100 Mile House Highway District was enlarged by the addition of the Clinton foreman area, which was formerly in the Lillooet Highway District. The area included 492 miles of road, eight bridges, and a reaction ferry across the Fraser River at Big Bar. The Clinton yardsite consists of a four-bay equipment shed and a 12 by 60-foot Atco rental trailer which is used for an assembly room and foreman's office. There is also one regular and one auxiliary mechanic that are under the direction of the mechanic foreman at 100 Mile House. The district office at 100 Mile House also was relocated to new premises in the Provincial centre, within the Village of 100 Mile House, the former general office, located at the yardsite, was converted to a foreman's office and assembly room for the maintenance crew. Maintenance—Normal maintenance on all roads was carried out with emphasis being placed on ditching, brushing, culvert installations, and gravelling on numerous side roads. A below-normal snowfall and above-average temperatures throughout the winter permitted minor betterments and improv r .>♦« to be carried out throughout the winter; however, in 1976, due to inclement (n. .er which resulted in above-average moisture content and high-water tables, spring break-up in 1977 has been severe. Construction—Major reconstruction under day labour programs continued on Highway 24, 93 Mile to Little Fort for 7 miles; 371, Horse Lake for 2.5 miles and 89, Green Lake North for 6 miles. Also, base gravelling was completed on Highway 24 from Mile 6.9 to Mile 13.85 and on 371, Horse Lake from Mile 11.05 to Mile 12.3. About 20.5 miles of roads were upgraded under a minor betterment program as follows: Road 221, Watch Lake, 3.5 miles; 104, Green Lake South, 1.0 mile; 162, North Bonaparte, 1.0 mile; 355, Lone Butte-Horse Lake, 1.4 miles; 332, Eagle Creek, 2.0 miles; 386, North Bonaparte, 0.4 mile; 7, 70 Mile Frontage, 0.4 mile; 620, Hendrix, 1.5 miles; 551, Eagan Lake, 2.5 miles; 319, Mahood Lake, 5.3 miles; 547, Judson, 1.0 mile; and 457, Knight Lake, 0.5 mile. Sealcoating of Cariboo Highway 97, south of 100 Mile House, was completed to 61 Mile by the regional sealcoating crew; also 13 miles of Cariboo Highway 97, north of 100 Mile House to Lac la Hache, was repaved under contract by H. R. Williamson Blacktop and Landscaping Ltd. Bridges Two timber bridges were replaced; McNeil, on the Cabbage Road, and Red Creek, on the Mahood Lake Road; also two new timber bridges were constructed; Muskrat, on Mahood Lake Road, and Pressy, over man-made channel, on Rayfield Road. Repairs were also carried out on Buffalo Creek, Houseman, and Ladoucier Bridges. Ferries The Big Bar ferry was in continuous operation to December 22, 1976, at which time it was taken out of service for winter storage. The ferry was again relaunched on April 28, 1977. Also, a new aerial cage was installed on December 21, 1976, for use during winter and high water. Williams Lake District Roads Maintenance—The beginning of the fiscal year was a busy time for the Williams Lake District crews, as many of the creeks and streams were full to overflowing. B 108 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Emergency Bailey bridging and log-stringer bridging was required on five different roads. A repeat of the same performance was experienced in the first week in August when another four roads required emergency bridging as a result of continued heavy rainfall. Considerable riprap was required to protect the highway where the Bella Coola River was washing away embankment materials. Summer maintenance was routine, as wet weather was predominant so that surface grading was more profitable than in dry years with smoother road surfaces, as a result. It was dry enough though, at times, to require dust layer applications to over 20 miles of road. The need for litter pick-up has again increased, as has the repair and replacement of signs damaged by vandals. Winter maintenance was the least problematic that could be remembered for many years. There was little precipitation and minimal snow accumulation so that the roads were kept in good travel condition all winter. Construction—It was a busy and a profitable year in this district for construction and reconstruction of roads. Over 52 miles were completed on the Chilcotin- Bella Coola River and on Likely, Dog Creek, Valley, Beaver Valley, Horsefly, Upper Horsefly, Chimney Lake, Kinglet, Grant, Brothen, Dorsey, Lehman, and Bond Lake Roads. Another 117 miles of roads were cleared, widened, and gravelled. Some of these roads were Big Creek, McKenzie Avenue South, Canoe Creek, Knife Creek, Moon, Chezacut, Taseko, Spokin Lake, Alexis Lake, and Walker Park Roads. Plantmix asphalt was applied to the Chilcotin, Soda Creek, and Dog Creek Roads; also, on McKenzie Avenue, Second Avenue, Maple Street, and Pine Street in Glendale, for a total of 7.9 miles of new surface. Bridges This year's bridge construction program included the construction of five new bridges, namely, Pigeon, Pelican, Holtry 2, Egolf, and Holt Creek. The following nine bridges were completely rebuilt: Bambrick 2, Big Lake, Blenkinsop, Choate Creek, Morrison, Patenaude, Grant 1, Grant 2, and Low. Several other bridges in the district were repaired or redecked during the year. Two problematic bridges were removed and replaced by constructed road this year. One of these, being the old boardwalk between Shearwater and New Bella Bella, the other a 322-foot-long pile trestle between Martin Valley and Ocean Falls. Kelowna District Roads Maintenance—The Ministry of Highways and Public Works was once again providing maintenance to all roads within the new boundaries of the City of Kelowna. Complaints from residents with regard to maintenance problems on the whole are decreasing. Those complaints that are received are investigated and appropriate action taken. Continual growth on the west side of Okanagan Lake and in the Faulder area near Summerland has put additional strain on our Westbank crew who try to meet the residents' demands. Due to the extremely wet summer, many area roads did not get treated with a dust palliative. However, in the warm autumn, approximately 28 miles of road surface were treated. REGIONAL REPORTS B 109 Flooding did not present an appreciable problem to the district in 1976/77. However, during the freshette period, routine patrols of all creeks were activated. The district constructed a trash rack on Rabbit Creek and did some channel work on Mission Creek to attempt to alleviate future flooding problems. Construction—The year 1976/77 was an active one for the district, constructing or reconstructing a total of 19 miles of road and, at the same time, placing 190,132 square yards of bituminous surfacing on 20 miles of road. The major projects involved were paving of Okanagan Centre and Lodge Roads in the Winfield area; reconstruction and paving of Anderson Road in the Ellison area; reconstruction and paving of McCulloch Road in the City of Kelowna. In the Westbank, area, sundry urban roads were paved along with reconstruction of Westside Road, Fish Lake Road, and Bald Range Road. Boucherie and Gellatly Roads were completely reconstructed and paved with hotmix asphalt. Along Route 97, the district added 8-inch shoulders on the Summerland Hill section and paved the centreline median on the four-lane divided section within the boundaries of the City of Kelowna. Snow Removal The winter of 1976/77 was an extremely mild winter. However, all district roads were maintained on a three-shift basis from December 1, 1976, to March 1, 1977. Due to the mild winter, the district was able to stock a considerable amount of winter sand for future use. In general, the district received very few complaints with regard to our winter maintenance program. Bridges The district bridge crew carried out routine maintenance on all district bridges and also reconstructed three bridges, two of which were paid for by district funds: No. 6019 McDougal Creek and No. 6184 Canyon Creek. One bridge No. 7802 Trout Creek was done by capital funds. Okanagan Lake bridge continues to be the large expenditure for district funds. REGION 3 (W. M. Sproul, Regional Highway Engineer, Nelson) Nelson, Rossland, Grand Forks, New Denver, Cranbrook, Fernie, Golden, Revelstoke, and Creston Highway Districts Nelson District Roads Maintenance—Spring run-off was moderate, creating no flooding problems. Dust control again was carried out on district side roads using liquid calcium chloride, oil, or M & F stabilizer. Sand screening took place throughout the spring and summer. Weather was very wet until late August, severely hampering district paving activities. An open fall and winter followed, allowing considerable side road improvement work to be carried out, ditching, and gravelling. Snowfall was very light, reflected in a low demand for snow ploughing and sanding, with greatly reduced quantities of material being used. Construction—Work continued on reconstruction of the road access to Whitewater being completed to a pit-run gravel grade. About 0.4 mile of Highway 3a B 110 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 at Longbeach Bluffs was widened and the alignment improved. A total of 4.0 miles of Pass Creek Road terminating at the district boundary was prepared for paving in 1977. An existing fill at Taghum was widened and brought up to grade to provide better access to Blewett area. Two miles of district side road were reconstructed. Shoulder widening was commenced on Highway 3 west of Salmo. Two thousand feet of type A guardrail were installed on Highway 3a at Beazley. Bridges A number of truss members were replaced in Winlaw Bridge, bringing it up to legal highway loading. A new bridge was constructed over Cedar Creek to allow new access to Winlaw yard. The bridge over Cedar Creek on Highway 6 was replaced by a multiplate culvert, and a new concrete deck was placed on the Pedro Creek Bridge. The king truss over Erie Creek at Salmo was replaced with a double- single Bailey bridge. Buildings Extension and modification of the district office building was commenced in January. Ferries Glade, Harrop-Longbeach, and Kootenay Lake ferries ran throughout the year, traffic increasing on all routes. A major program of upgrading was carried out on MV Balfour, during the spring and fall. The West Creston ferry barge was brought into Nelson for modification, including provision of new steel aprons. Three dolphins at Kootenay Bay landing were replaced with new timber piling. Rossland District Roads Maintenance—Subdivision activity, permits, rezoning application, and similar activities continued to place a heavy work load on technical and administrative personnel, with a diminishing amount of time available for supervision, planning, and preparing surveys and estimates for upcoming projects or minor betterments. There is also an increasing demand for meetings with the many groups and organizations that go hand in hand with the growth of small communities—improvement districts, municipal councils, etc. Employees in the operational component were also busily engaged in trying to meet the pressures applied by an ever increasing demand for services. Some difficulty was experienced in endeavouring to meet maintenance management standards and stay within the budget for some activities. We still feel that a little more consideration should be given for establishing unique planning values as opposed to regional and Provincial values. Construction—A crew was kept busy during the summer months constructing 14,000 lineal feet of 27-inch no-post guardrail for use within the region. A total of 6,500 feet of this material was used to replace 18-inch guardrail and on other high index areas within the district. Concrete bases were also poured for davit and lamp standards for use within the region. Two miles of Pass Creek Road were reconstructed to a high standard in preparation for paving next year. Several short roads were roadmixed and 6 miles of Casino Road were pulvimixed in conjunction with the Headquarters crew. REGIONAL REPORTS B 111 Bridges One new bridge was constructed on a new site and many bridges received normal repairs but the bridge maintenance program suffered to some extent as the crew were required to construct a two-bay equipment building in the Rossland yard, thereby occupying the four-man crew for many hours. Ferries It was rather disappointing to encounter several difficulties with the new power train in the Castlegar ferry and also to find that measures taken to secure the ramps proved unsatisfactory. Serious consideration must now be given to replacement of the ramps using a totally different design to accommodate rapidly fluctuating water levels. Grand Forks District Roads Maintenance—Under the minor betterment program, brushing and landscaping was continued along Highway 3 improving visibility. Minor roads were widened and gravelled under the program in all foreman areas. Shoulders were widened on 5 miles of Highway 3 east of Christina Lake. Various portions of Highway 3 in the Grand Forks foreman area and Highway 33 required extensive patching. Shoulder widening continued on Highway 33. Snowfall was light over the winter with no run-off problems. Construction—Reconstruction and gravelling were completed on approximately 15 miles of side roads with Headquarters crews pulvimixing approximately 12 miles. Highway 3 east of Grand Forks was widened to three lanes for 6 miles, while at Kerr Creek east of Midway, a dangerous rock corner was removed to improve alignment. Some 18-inch guardrail was replaced by 27-inch where warranted west of Grand Forks on Highway 3. Bridges All bridges in the district were washed and railings on some bridges were painted. Structural members and decking were replaced on numerous bridges as required. Carson Bridge, which was closed in 1975, was demolished. It is expected both Westbridge and Wilkinson Creek Bridges on Highway 33 will be replaced in 1977. These have been restricted to legal loading since 1975. The deck system of the Washington Street Bridge in the City of Greenwood was renewed. The bridge has now been turned over to the City of Greenwood. New Denver District Roads Maintenance—The New Denver Highway District in 1976/77 experienced a very mild spring break-up period followed by a wet summer and then a drier and warmer than average winter. The year saw the district maintenance crews move fully into the Maintenance Management System with all areas participating in total budget control and work scheduling. Rest areas within the district were continually upgraded and a tree-planting program was initiated which should add to the Esthetics of many of them.

AFTER B 116 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Construction—The construction season got off to a slow start as a result of the wet summer weather. However, all of the district construction projects were successfully completed later on in the year. Six miles of the Monashee highway (Highway 6) was constructed and paved and guardrail was installed and shoulders were widened in many areas of Highway 6 between Nakusp and the southern district boundary. Reconstruction and realignment work was undertaken on Highway 31a between New Denver and Kaslo and shoulder widening and guardrail installation work was undertaken on Highway 31 between Coffee Creek and Lardeau. Many sideroads were upgraded during the summer in continuing programs and survey work was completed on the Argerita-Johnson's Landing road, Red Mountain Road, Bonanza Road, and Crescent Bay Road in order to establish right- of-ways prior to upgrading. Slope stabilization was undertaken on Highway 6 north and south of Burton and 0.5 mile of new alignment was constructed in order to bypass some less stable areas. Bridges The bridge crew constructed four new bridges this year; three of them were log stringer, and one, Cascade, a 50-foot concrete box-stringer bridge. A 450-ton salt shed was constructed at Nakusp. Ferries The Arrow Park ferry was operated on schedule throughout the year and operated on schedule except for the month of January when it was taken out of service in order to service the propulsion units. While the MV Needles was out of service a tug and barge were used to provide ferry service. While the Arrow reservoir was at low water, maintenance work was undertaken on the ferry ramps at Needles and an encroaching sandbar was removed. Cranbrook District Roads Maintenance—Major emphasis was placed on maintenance activities using the Maintenance Management System for scheduling and accomplishment. The results were very successful as maintenance items, which previously received low priorities or neglected, were undertaken in all areas. An extensive ditch-cleaning program (90,000 lin. ft.) and spot regravelling on numerous side road systems will benefit future maintenance programs. Minor betterment programs carried out were as follows: 16 Mission-Wasa Road; reconstruction complete with double flushcoat (2.0 miles); Wilkes-Kahn subdivision roads; reconstruction complete with double flushcoat (1.34 miles); 72 Pighin Road; reconstruction (2.70 miles) and 9.15 miles of surface treatments. Construction—Reconstruction and new construction programs were undertaken as follows: 51 Cranbrook-Wycliffe Road (3 miles); Cranbrook area streets (4.29 miles); 95a Kimberley Highway, shoulder widening (4.65 miles); 95 Kootenay Columbia Highway, east approach to Wasa Bridge (1.05 miles). Bridges All bridges in the district were inspected and necessary maintenance undertaken as required. Complete deck renewal of 48 Wycliffe Bridge commenced late in year with completion by April 30, 1977. REGIONAL REPORTS B 117 Snow Removal Snowfall was well below average throughout the district. Shift systems were in effect and all roads were kept open and in good condition. Buildings Trailers were located at the Cranbrook yard to accommodate foremen offices and assembly rooms for the crews. Fernie District Roads Maintenance—Maintenance on all district roads was carried out to maintain them in good repair. Hand-patching was normal on all roads except the Elk Valley Road. Hand-brushing was done on Southern Trans-Provincial Highway 3 between Fernie and Sparwood and on other side roads in the district. Oiling in front of residences was done as required with MCO asphalt. Signs were maintained and replaced where necessary. Culverts were cleaned and repaired as necessary. Winter maintenance—Because of the extremely mild winter and low snowfall during the 1976/1977 winter, costs were below normal. Stockpiles of screened sand put up during the year in the Tunnel, Elko, and Monsoon Pits remain quite large because of the unusual winter. Winter shifts were maintained in all areas within the district from November 15, 1976, to April 1, 1977. Construction—Construction of the Corbin Road was started with the clearing being mostly completed. The Eikford Bypass was constructed but will not be usable until a bridge is constructed over Boivin Creek. Reconstruction of Cokato Road, Tie Lake Road, Jaffray-Baynes Lake Road, Highway 93, near Grasmere, Mount Fernie Park Road, part of Morrissey Road, Lower Elk Valley Road was carried out. Shoulder widening with left-turn slots was done on Southern Trans- Provincial Highway 3 from Wardner to Elko in preparation for paving next year. Shoulder widening with weak sections being raised on the Elk Valley Road 4 was done in preparation for paving next year. Shoulder widening on Highway 3 from Olsen to Natal was done. Bridges Reconstruction of the Cummings Creek Bridge at Rosen Lake was completed by the Cranbrook bridge crew. Minor repairs and cleaning were carried out on all other bridges. Repairs required from accidents were performed on Wilson Bridge and Sand Creek Bridge. Buildings Construction of a salt silo at the Jaffray yard was completed. Removal of the salt shed on Dickens Road and reconstruction of same was done at Tunnel Pit. Asphalt tanks were placed at the New Fernie yardsite. Fencing and landscaping of the Fernie yard was about 80 per cent completed. Sparwood yardsite was partially landscaped. Surfacing Coldmix paving was done on 0.90 mile of Highway 93, near Grasmere, Elk Valley Road 4 in Sparwood for 1.30 miles, and West Fernie streets for 1.10 miles. Inverted prime was put on Tie Lake Road for 0.80 mile, Tie Lake South Road for 1.40 miles, Jaffray-Baynes Lake Road for 2.40 miles, Stephenson Road for 0.22 mile, Front Street for 0.29 mile, Sixth Avenue for 0.05 mile, and the Lower Elk Valley Road for 1.20 miles. Sand seals were done on Cokato Road for 1 mile, B 118 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Fernie Coal Creek Road for 0.57 mile, Fernie Ski Hill for 0.73 mile, and the Lower Elk Valley Road for 3 miles. Miscellaneous Riprap was placed along Southern Trans-Provincial Highway 3 from the Tunnel to Fernie (1 mile). This was to strengthen existing riprap. Golden District Roads Maintenance—Constant rain and wet weather prevented extensive machine pavement patching, but hand-patching was continuous. Ditching was a major item, more especially in the Kicking Horse Canyon section of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 due to numerous rock falls. Grading of side roads was carried out more frequently than usual. Guardrail removed the previous year for paving purposes was replaced on the Trans-Canada Highway 1. Eight thousand and ninety-six (8,096) lineal feet of new 27-inch no-post concrete guardrail were installed in areas with an index of 100 and over. Numerous vandalized signs were replaced on all roads. Standard channelization and lighting of the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 with the Golden Donald Upper Road and the Golden View Road was completed. Dust control, using liquid calcium chloride, was carried out on 12 miles of well-used side roads. The northerly entrance to Canal Flats from the Kootenay-Columbia Highway 95 was channelized. A 1,500-foot section of the Kootenay-Columbia Highway 95 was cleared of a blockage caused by flooding of Braisher Creek which closed the road for 14 hours. Very little snow ploughing was required, but ice control was a problem due to constant light snowfalls, thawing, and freezing cycles. All main roads were kept bare and dry most of the winter season. One hundred litter barrels were cleaned up, red leaded, painted green, and marked with the Ministry logo. Various damaged light standards on Arterial 528r were replaced. A freezing situation of an irrigation ditch at Castledale on the Kootenay- Columbia Highway 95 created major problems and required a great deal of expenditure in man-hours and equipment. This matter has been referred to the Water Rights Branch. Many of the operators have enrolled in the Maintenance Management course and are showing greater interest in the over-all operations. Sand was screened in Waitabit, Golden Hill, Seven Mile, Kelly, Harrogate, and Kimpton Pits. Kimpton, Brisco, and Vermilion Pits were landscaped. Bridges South concrete abutment on Waitabit Bridge was rebuilt. Approaches to Spillimacheen Bridge rebuilt in the previous year were completed and the new bridge opened to traffic. REGIONAL REPORTS B 119 Driftwood was cleared away from all bridges over the Columbia River. Hospital Creek Bridge, destroyed by flood waters, was replaced. Repairs were carried out to abutments and approaches to Oster Bridge destroyed by the same flood. Riprap was placed at Campbell and Oster Bridges. Bridge railings on Donald, Quartz, Yoho, and Park Bridges were replaced where damaged by vehicle accidents. Bridge panels were removed, sand blasted, red leaded, repainted, and replaced on Mount Hunter Bridge. Panels from Park Bridge are now undergoing similar treatment. Concrete deck repairs are being carried out on the Blaeberry and Yoho Bridges. All bridges received routine maintenance. Drains, etc., were cleaned as required. Buildings Yards at Golden and Invermere received intensive clean up and restockpiling of materials. A trailer was added at Invermere to provide more efficient room for road foremen and for proper washroom facilities. Cabinets for avalanche and first aid equipment and a new sign rack were constructed in the Golden shop. A shed capable of storing 360 tons of salt was constructed in the Golden yard. Construction—Reconstruction, widening, and gravelling were completed on the following roads: Thomas, Sanborn, Oberg-Johnson, Moberly School, Windermere Loop, and Columere Subdivision. Coldmix paving was completed in the Columere Subdivision, 1.3 miles of Canal Flats streets, 0.2 mile of Golden Donald Upper and Anderson Roads. An unopened section of Quartz Street at Windermere was constructed and gravelled. Shoulders were widened on Trans-Canada Highway 1 east of Golden. Relocation and reconstruction of Westside Road 2 south of Invermere has been completed. Shoulders were widened on Kootenay-Columbia Highway 95 from Mile 39.4 to Mile 57.4 (18 miles). One mile of Toby Creek Road was widened and improved and 2 miles gravelled with three-quarters of an inch minus crushed gravel. Extensive exploration was carried out in Radium Hill Pit for possible gravel source, without success. Site survey was carried out for Upper Blaeberry Bridge for right-of-way purchase. Adami Road was widened and improved to standard and gravelled with three- quarters of an inch minus crushed gravel. We constructed 0.5 mile and also gravelled 1.5 miles on Neave Road. Culverts were installed under Edgewater streets. Note—The "Athalmer Establishment" has now been incorporated within the new village boundaries of Invermere and in the future will be known as the "Invermere Establishment." b 120 highways and public works report, 1976/77 Revelstoke District Roads Maintenance—General maintenance was carried out on all highways and side roads in the district. Shoulder widening and guardrail installation of 1.4 miles was completed on the Trans-Canada Highway 1 at Three Valley and 1 mile east of Revelstoke. On the Trans-Canada Highway 1, creek channels were cleaned out at Victor Lake and Albert Canyon Creek. Spring run-off was normal with some riprap required at Silver Creek on the Trans-Canada Highway 1 and minor erosion repairs at 12 Mile and Downie Creek on Nakusp-Mica Creek Highway 23. Landscaping continued at Three Valley Lake, Revelstoke Intersection, and Revelstoke yard, including the planting of trees and shrubs. Snowfall was less than normal throughout the district with all roads kept in good winter condition. An avalanche in the spring of 1976 on 520 Airport Way demolished Green Slide Bridge, which was replaced with two 48-inch culverts. Construction—Fencing was completed on the eastern access to Revelstoke and traffic islands were constructed at the Trans-Canada Highway 1 and Oscar Street intersections. Reconstruction continued on the Balfour-Kalso-Galena Bay Highway 31 with 2 miles of grade being constructed. Other reconstruction and improvements amounting to 2.74 miles were completed throughout the district. Bridges Routine bridge maintenance was carried out throughout the district. A new bridge was constructed to replace 6757 Bridge Creek Bridge on 6 Revelstoke East Road. A new bridge was also constructed over Albert Creek to provide access to Albert Canyon Gravel Pit and construction of a salt unloading structure was 90 per cent completed in the Revelstoke yard. Buildings In the Revelstoke yard a grader blade storage bay was constructed and the old salt storage bay was converted into a carpenter shop. Ferries MV Galena maintained a regular schedule throughout the year with the following exceptions: (a) Ran off schedule July 19, 1976, to July 25, 1976, while repairs were being made to propulsion unit, (ft) The ferry ran on one motor with the assistance of a tug from March 15, 1977, to March 31, 1977, while propulsion units were being repaired. Concrete slabs were poured on either side of the Shelter Bay ferry dock to prevent erosion. REGIONAL REPORTS B 121 Creston District Roads Maintenance—Spring run-off was normal with only minor erosion problems at Bayonne Creek Culvert on Highway 3. Some maintenance activities had to be rescheduled due to a very wet spring and summer. Although most spring clean-up activities were completed on schedule, pavement patching, weed and brush control, dust control, and winter sand production and stockpiling were delayed until late summer. Maintenance of roadside rest areas continued but landscaping and other improvements had to be cancelled due to inclement weather. Improved delineation and guardrail installation on Highway 3 continued. Paving program was limited to roadmixing 1 mile of Riondel Street; 0.65 mile of the Duck Creek Road; sandsealing 0.4 mile of the Elsie Holmes Road and 3.1 miles of the Creston-Summit Creek Road. Snowfall was the lightest in the area's history being only 30 per cent of the normal average. However, black ice and frosty surfaces kept crews busy sanding and salting throughout the winter. Kootenay Pass Camp crews worked a 24-hour schedule and helped many travellers with summer tires out of trouble. Only two voluntary avalanches were recorded that blocked the highway for short periods. All other avalanches were brought down by the Avalanche Co-ordinator using the avalanche gun or hand placed charges. Closing Highway 3 and detouring traffic via Highway 3a to Kootenay Lake ferry was not required this winter. Construction—Preparatory work for paving by contract was carried out on 26 miles of Highway 3a between Kootenay Bay ferry-landing and Sanca Creek. Work involved drainage correction, shoulder widening, and reconstruction and surface repairs. Also completed was the 5-mile long major construction project between Destiny Bay and Lockhart Creek involving several thousand cubic yards of solid rock. Major reconstruction of 1.5 miles of the Canyon-Porthill Road was 30 per cent completed; 0.3 mile of reconstruction of the Leach Road in Canyon was completed. New roads opened and constructed at Kitchener and Lakeview totalled 0.8 mile. Reshaping and gravelling of 3.75 miles of roads in the Arrow Creek and Riondel settlements were completed. Widening and gravelling to a 30-foot-wide standard were carried out on 6 miles of the Creston-Wynndel Road (Lower Wynndel Road) during the winter months. Bridges General maintenance, including extensive cleaning and deck repairs, was carried out as required. Deck surface treatment and painting programs were uncompleted due to wet weather. Buildings Routine maintenance was carried out on the salt silo and winter equipment sheds in gravel pits. New winter equipment sheds were constructed at a 6-mile stockpile on Highway 3 at Crawford Pit on Highway 3a. Construction commenced on a 180-ton capacity salt-storage shed at Creston to replace an inefficient 60-ton capacity salt silo. B 122 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REGION 4 (L. A. Broddy, Regional Highway Engineer, Prince George) Prince George, Quesnel, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Vanderhoof, and McBride Highway Districts Prince George District Roads Maintenance—A heavy snowpack and mild winter in 1976 resulted in high- water problems and a severe spring break-up. Many local roads were soft well into summer. The above-average rainfall during the late spring and summer gave rise to some maintenance problems on the side roads in the district. A great amount of extra time and effort went into grading of the side roads. Side road improvements were difficult to undertake because of the extremely wet conditions. Construction—Major improvements were made to 16.7 miles of miscellaneous school-bus routes and side roads in the district. These improvements involved ditching, widening, and gravelling of the various roads. Shoulders were constructed on 36 miles of Highway 16 west and Highway 97 south and north in preparation for paving in 1977. Foothills Boulevard was 70 per cent completed and should be finished and paved in early 1977. As part of a continuing project more ditching and gravelling were carried out on the Giscome Highway between Giscome and Upper Fraser. Ultimate plans call for more improvements and pavement. Left-turn slots and intersection improvements were made to two intersections on the John Hart-Peace River Highway 97. Bridges Routine maintenance was carried out on all bridges in the district. Two new prestressed-concrete stringer bridges were erected replacing two older timber bridges. Buildings Improvements were made to the Bear Lake shop and the Prince George foreman's office. A recreation hall was built at Honeymoon Creek for the use of the employees at this isolated area. The 18 th Avenue yard-site at Prince George was cleared and levelled in preparation for the new shop complex to be built in the near future. The salt sheds at Prince George, Honeymoon Creek, and Bear Lake were extended to increase capacity. A new salt shed was built at Slim Creek. Ferries The Isle Pierre ferry was out of service in June and part of July because of extreme high water. Otherwise the ferry operated normally. REGIONAL REPORTS B 123 Quesnel District Roads Maintenance—Fifty-four miles of road were treated with oil and 40 miles of road were treated with calcium chloride for dust control, although the summer was very wet. Gradal ditching continued along the Barkerville Highway and Cariboo Highway as first priority. Approximately 6 miles of the Red Bluff area were also ditched. Winter damage repair was extensive in most areas and will continue to be very extensive due to the wet summer, which did not allow the base to dry out before the frost set in. Construction—Unseasonably warm temperatures and the lack of snow has enabled the district to reconstruct 41 miles and regravel 17 miles of roads throughout the district. Shoulder widening has been completed from Plete Road to Stoner, approximately 21 miles. Bridges Udy Creek Bridge is complete and in use. Asphalt will be put on the deck this year. First Creek multi-plate structure is in place. Meadow Creek multi-plate structure in place. Hamilton Bridge was replaced due to washout. Trout Creek Bridge is about 50 per cent complete and the deck will be on this year. Various smaller building projects were completed throughout the year. Ferries The aerial ferries were reconstructed and were in use in November at Soda Creek and Marguerite. Ferries operated manually throughout the year. Both were pulled out in November. Dawson Creek District Roads Maintenance—Spring break-up was again better than normal; however, heavy rain during June, July, and August was about three times above normal causing considerable damage to ditches and drainage structures and hampering normal maintenance. September, October, and November were, however, dry and road conditions improved considerably enabling day labour projects to be completed. Winter was late arriving resulting in much higher temperatures than normal. Several storms, however, with wet snow resulted in normal use of chemicals but snow ploughing activities were few. Construction—A heavy construction year was experienced, when projects for the Northeast Coal were added. The accomplishment results were as follows: New construction, 29.1 miles; reconstruction, 85.26 miles; new gravelling, 104.66 miles; regravelling, 108.5 miles. In addition, during winter (hauling on frozen ground), 202,510 cubic yards of gravel were produced in inaccessible areas during summer and were stockpiled near all-weather roads for future use. Also, 28,000 cubic yards of sand stone were ripped and piled up for use as base construction and erosion control in the future. B 124 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Dawson Creek Highways District project work for N.E. Coal, 11 miles of new construction from the end of the logging road, across Flatbed Creek and connecting to contractors road in the Quintette, Babcock Coal and the Grizzly Valley gas. Note the heavy logging and clearing, the wet ground and the final result. Clearing right-of-way. REGIONAL REPORTS B 125 Grubbing and preparation of original ground for road-bed. Granular fill applied to form road-bed. B 126 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Completed road-bed. Gravelled surface suitable for traffic. REGIONAL REPORTS B 127 The road over the major earth slide on Highway 97, Peace River Hill, was satisfactorily reconstructed and the highway surface was paved with pulvimix material. On the Hart Highway 97, Wabi Hill, the district completed 25 per cent of the truck passing lane widening and realignment project. Bridges Four new bridges (284 linear feet) were completed. One bridge was replaced with a 16-foot 7-inch by 10-foot 11-inch multi-plate pipe and three new bridges (182 linear feet) were commenced and will be completed during 1977/78 season. Also, 27 district bridges received varying amounts of maintenance and repair. Buildings The district continued to develop the Mile 22 Alaska Highway maintenance yard. An office, tool-oil shed, loader garage, plug-in electrical services and yard lights were added. Also, the yard was gravelled. Trailer units, foreman office, and assembly rooms were set up at the Rolla and Progress maintenance yards and serviced with water and sewer. Ferries Due to the warm winter, the Clayhurst ferry operated 12 months during 1976/ 77 with only short interruption mainly due to river water levels. Fort St. John District Roads Maintenance—Spring run-off was average with no major problems encountered. Road restrictions were imposed March 29, 1976, and rescinded on May 14, 1976. Extremely wet weather during July and August and part of September caused many of our maintenance activities to be well behind schedule; however, a beautiful fall followed, lasting well into November. By the time freeze-up arrived, the road system was in good shape. A massive landslide occurred on August 21, 1976, severing Road 117, the only road link with the Upper Halfway River area. A temporary route was established by using old oil exploration roads and the construction of a Bailey bridge across the Cameron River. Construction of a permanent bypass of the slide area consisting of 6 miles of new construction commenced in late October and was completed for traffic by December 3. Winter was late arriving and treated this district well with moderate temperatures and very little snow and no wind. Construction—Twenty-one miles, including the 6 miles on Road 117, were completed as well as 105 miles of gravelling and regravelling. A machine-brushing project was undertaken on Highway 29 using a Kershaw- Clearway cutter. Forty miles of the right-of-way were cut with very acceptable results and average cost of $75 per acre. Bridges Fifty-three of the district bridges received attention from major deck repairs to painting of the side rails. Three major projects were completed: Siwash Bridge Q7237 replaced with 13 foot multi-plate; Roseland Bridge Q7234 replaced with B 128 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 12 foot multi-plate and a major riprap project was completed. Due to the landslide on Road 117, a 100-foot Bailey bridge was also constructed over Alexander Creek on the new route. Vanderhoof District Roads Maintenance—Vanderhoof Highway District experienced a long break-up due to a 100 to 150 per cent snowpack, together with an unusually wet spring and summer. Severe flooding occurred in the Fraser Lake and Endako areas, with the Endako River exceeding the deck level of the Endako Bridge on Yellowhead Highway 16. The excessive rainfall kept most side roads soft, resulting in a prolonged road base repair program. The "rest stop" at Bednesti was equipped with toilets and tables, while that at Dry William Lake was enlarged with considerable new railing constructed. The dust control program was carried out using flake calcium chloride with retention value only fair as any road with coarse gravel did not retain the material. Fencing of Yellowhead Highway 16 was continued for another year. Construction—The Stellako Overhead Bridge approaches were completed and paved with roadmix. Francois Lake Road had 2.5 miles reconstructed, and the Dog Creek Road was improved under the minor betterments program. Numerous culverts were replaced with larger pipes within the district resulting from cultivation of additional land. A total of 3.3 miles of the Loop Road had a 6-inch lift of three-quarter-inch crush gravel applied. A total of 10.4 miles of road was reconstructed, and 16.8 miles of major gravelling were completed in the Vanderhoof area. The Fort St. James area completed minor realignment on the Tachie Road; however, 11 miles of gravelling were completed on other roads. On Yellowhead Highway 16, a total of 6.5 miles of shouldering was completed. Bridges Fourteen Mile Bridge on the Germansen Landing Road was widened by the district bridge crew to 32 feet. Endako Bridge 1 was strengthened to accommodate B.C. Hydro transformers, and major repairs (piling) under the approach span of Endako Bridge 2 were necessary due to scouring at extreme high water. Canyon Creek Bridge was replaced with a log-stringer structure after high- water scoured the west abutment of the old structure which was eventually washed out. Mining Roads and Trails Once again this Ministry supervised the opening "snow removal" of the Omineca Mines Road to Germansen Landing during the spring. Big Creek culverts were replaced with a three-span pile trestle structure, removing the threat of flooding each spring. McBride District Roads Maintenance—Again this year, McBride District received more-than-average precipitation during the summer months and, as a result, considerable effort was REGIONAL REPORTS B 129 expended on drainage maintenance and washout repair. Frequent rain-storms necessitated extensive grading of the feeder road system and as a further result of excessive water, a major slide, in fill material on the Yellowhead Highway 16 at Lamming Mills, had to be repaired. As part of the district's minor betterment program, district crews carried on extensive regravelling work in the McBride and Tete Jaune foreman areas. Construction—During the summer construction season, 4.5 miles of gravel feeder roads were reconstructed and gravelled; while in the winter, 8 miles of right- of-way along Yellowhead Highway 5 north of Avola were cleared to remove the many danger trees standing in that section. At Clemina, district crews installed an extensive underground drainage system to reduce heavy spring frost heave action. Materials—Columbia Bitulithic were awarded crushing Project M-3021-7 to crush and stockpile 20,000 tons of crushed granular surfacing aggregate in each of King Creek, Tinsley, and Horsey Creek Pits, McBride District. The material will be used during the coming fiscal year for patchmix, crushed granular surfacing, and winter sand purposes. Bridges Swift Creek Bridge 6840, an old timber tressel located near Valemount was demolished and replaced by a 100 foot span of double-single Bailey bridging. Beaver Bridge 7779, a king truss on Hinkelman Road, 8 miles east of McBride, was reinforced and redecked, and new wheel guards and hand railings were installed. The bridge crew also installed an 80-foot cattle underpass, two cattleguards, and a trash-rack system at various locations throughout the district. REGION 5 (L. A. Broddy, Regional Highway Engineer, Prince George) Prince Rupert, Terrace, Dease Lake, Smithers, and Burns Lake Highway Districts Prince Rupert District Roads Maintenance—A major riprap river and tidal production program was undertaken in the three major foreman areas. Riprap material was quarried near Stewart and placed along the Bear River and on the foreshore between Stewart and Hyder. Riprap was also placed along the Yellowhead Highway 16 and in several locations on the Queen Charlotte Islands. A hand- and machine-brushing program was instituted in the Prince Rupert area and on the Queen Charlottes, which improved the appearance of our rights- of-way considerably. A major paving and right-of-way clean-up program was carried out in Prince Rupert and Port Edward during early spring 1977. Traffic volume is steadily increasing on the Kitwanga to Stewart and Watson Lake Road but the Stewart and Meziadin crews were able to maintain an adequate level of public service on these roads. B 130 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Construction—(a) Meziadin and Stewart areas: The major part of a 3- to 5-mile realignment project was completed through the worst avalanche areas in the Bear Pass with the remainder to be completed in 1977. Many areas along the highway were widened, using air-tracs and explosives to allow for more effective ploughing and snow storage. (b) Queen Charlotte Islands: Two miles of the Towhill Road were ditched and upgraded to a superior standard. Snow Removal Snowfall was moderate in the Stewart and Meziadin area and light in the Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte areas. Very few problems were encountered in Stewart and Meziadin and the highway remained open to the public all winter with few avalanches and interruptions to travel. Bridges (a) Prince Rupert area: The McBride Street footbridge was replaced with a Bailey pedestrian bridge on wooden and Bailey towers with concrete and aluminum stairs. (b) Stewart and Meziadin areas: Four log-stringer spans were constructed in conjunction with the Bear Pass realignment. The Axnegrelga Bridge, south of Meziadin, was replaced with a new log- stringer span. The Bell Irving Bridge, north of Meziadin Lake, was decked with a wooden superstructure, laid within the steel-arch span and to one side to allow for the placement of a permanent deck. Ferries (a) Prince Rupert area: The Ministry continued to subsidize Prince Rupert Ferry (1967) Ltd. operating between Prince Rupert and areas within the harbour. (b) Queen Charlotte Islands: The MV Kwuna continued to operate without interruption. The ferry is very popular and is well-used by the island residents. A new concrete ramp was installed on the Skidegate landing side incorporating steel rails to replace asphalt ramps badly deteriorated by wind and propeller action. Terrace District Roads Maintenance—The normal general maintenance was carried out on all highways and side roads. The side roads required more gravelling and grading than usual because of the wet summer. Student crews were very helpful on the building program. Construction—Day labour was continued at the following locations: (1) Yellowhead Highway 16—Mile 20 to Mile 27.5 west of Terrace. This involved widening of existing highway and new alignment. (2) Kalum Lake Road—construction of Lean-to Creek and Deep Creek bridge approaches and improve alignment and base at sundry locations. (3) Kitamaat Village Road—prepared 2 miles of road base for a paving contract. L REGIONAL REPORTS B 131 (4) Sixteen miles of shouldering were done on the Terrace-Kitimat Highway 25. (5) Old Remo Road—improved grade and alignment. Snow Removal Snowfall was well below average throughout the district. There was no avalanche activity on Highway 16 west of Terrace. Bridges Normal maintenance was carried out on the many wooden bridges throughout the district. A new bridge was constructed at Lean-to Creek. The Terrace bridge was redecked. Buildings Salt shed was relocated adjacent to the sand shed. Ferries The reaction ferry and cable car at Usk were operated on a double-shift schedule seven days each week. Dease Lake District Maintenance—Snowfall, particularly in the Bob Quinn area, was exceptionally light with very mild temperatures and roads in all areas were good with no major storm damage. Native crews did considerable hand-brushing along the right-of-way in the Bob Quinn, Totogga, and Telegraph Creek areas. Clearing and minor road repairs continued on the O'Donnell River Road south of Atlin. Construction—Under day labour, 3 miles of Highway 37 was reconstructed north of Cassiar Junction. Fifty-eight wood-stave culverts were replaced with C.I.P., in conjunction with ditching, along Highway 37 in the Dease Lake area. Four culverts were replaced and considerable hand-brushing was done along the Atlin Highway, while three culverts were installed and two subdivision streets were cleared in the Atlin Townsite. On the Telegraph Road, 11 culverts were installed and 15 miles regraveiled, as well as 2Vi miles of widening on the Tuya River Hill. Bridges Three bridges were replaced by multi-plates under new construction on Highway 37. Two small wood bridges were built in the Atlin area, one structure on the Telegraph Road was reconstructed, and one culvert on the Glenora Road was replaced with a bridge. Under day labour on Highway 37, two double-single two-span Baileys, and one double-single with two approach spans were converted to triple-single, chord- reinforced single spans. The bridge crew also worked several months for the Prince Rupert District in the Stewart area. B 132 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Buildings Construction of a dry storage building was started at the Dease Lake yard, and a dam and reservoir were built to supply water for the Totogga Lake Camp. Smithers District Roads Maintenance—Routine maintenance was conducted throughout the season together with grader ditching and reshaping in several areas. Some gravelling on side roads and patching on the paved sections of highway were also conducted. Rest areas cleaned up along with roadside litter in the spring, rest areas maintained throughout the summer. A rockslide west of Cedarvale closed the highway to single lane for parts of two days. High-water washed over highway in the spring causing some shoulder damage. Some fencing was completed on side roads. Comparatively light snowfall last winter but temperature and weather conditions necessitated continuous winter ploughing and chemical applications. Winter season had two shifts, seven-day week coverage. Construction—Work is proceeding on Kitwanga-Meziadin Highway through Kitwanga Village. Clearing approximately 75 per cent complete on first 12 miles northward, employing several local native people and some machinery. Hydro poles and telephone-lines have been moved in preparation for improvements to corners. Crushed gravel was placed on first 1.1 miles. Bridges Three bridges were built in Kitwanga area plus repair and maintenance on all other bridges in area. Preparations were made for the installation of another prestressed-concrete bridge over Canyon Creek this summer. Ferries Cedarvale aerial ferry is still continuing for pedestrian use, with no decision made regarding the future of the reaction ferry. Burns Lake District Roads Maintenance—Water was the major problem of the year. In break-up, there were numerous washouts and floodings throughout the district. The record high run-off was carried into early summer and then lack of sun and higher than average rainfall made the summer a really miserable experience for all crews. Usual maintenance was impeded by having to deal with flooding and washout well into the summer; part of the Yellowhead Highway 16, east of Burns Lake, was washed out in September due to a beaver dam breaking. The winter was kinder with lower than average snowfall and higher than average temperatures. The major gravel roads were upgraded to a very satisfactory standard, which lasted through to spring. The P.R.E.P. crews and hired equipment worked throughout the winter clearing and logging right-of-way throughout the district. A guardrail was installed at a spot with a bad accident record on the Yellowhead Highway 16, east of Topley. REGIONAL REPORTS B 133 In Houston the approaches to Buck Creek Bridge on the Yellowhead Highway 16 were paved, pleasing the population of Houston. Dust control was not requested by the public to such a high degree as last year owing to the wet weather. It was applied when required. The patch crew was busy all through the year along the highway but primarily Burns Lake Arterial where large pot holes are a continuous problem. A priority program of gravel exploration and evaluation was implemented and will be continuing as districts cannot function without gravel. A local crusher has been hired to provide sufficient crush for our needs. Construction—Another small section (2Vi miles) of Buck Flats Road was completed, improving on the poorer section. The major work was on 59 Keefes Landing Road where the first 12 miles or so is nearly completed up to a 45 m.p.h. standard. Thanks to the good winter, work progressed almost up to the end of the year, although the problems of this spring raise questions as to the advisability of working so late into the winter. Bridges The first half of the year was spent in repairing flood damage to bridges and installing temporary bridges over road washouts. Rose Lake and Home Creek Bridges were destroyed by flood and had to be replaced. A new bridge was built to replace the old Trout Creek Bridge. Local Fish and Wildlife personnel were happy to see a bridge replace the old culverts over Henkel Creek. Spawning fish were having great difficulty previously in negotiating the creek. A check of all bridges was completed in the fall to ensure that priorities could be set for future work and that flood damage had not been too severe. Minor work was completed on the ferry terminals. Building work, including Burns Lake yard office extension, was carried out by the bridge crew in the latter part of the winter. Fulton Bridge, close to the Federal Fisheries, is having a walkway put alongside to allow the public to view in safety. Buildings The Highways District office moved in February from the old courthouse to a new location closer to the liquor store! ! Work commenced on the extension to the Burns Lake yard office. Ferries The inauguration ceremony for the Omineca Princess was held on June 13, and it was officially put into service on June 18. Tourists and local people alike were happy to see the new ferry in service. The Jacob Henkel was available when the new ferry was out of service. The buildings, electrical and sewerage work, bubble system, and trim dock on the north and south ferry terminals were completed by the contractors within the year. The landings themselves are 90 per cent complete. Francois Lake itself did not freeze during the winter of 1976/77, the first time for 20 years. B 134 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REGION 6 (P. J. Carr, Regional Highway Engineer, Burnaby) Nanaimo, Saanich, Port Alberni, and Courtenay Highway Districts Nanaimo District Roads Maintenance—A general program of recap paving on sundry streets in the Nanaimo area was accomplished and a number of gravel residential streets and farm access routes were paved. Subdivision growth and shopping centre area expansion created the need for improved streets and alterations to drainage facilities and a need for paved shoulders in many areas of the amalgamated City of Nanaimo. A sealcoating program was completed covering 11 miles of deteriorating pavement with good success. Landscaping was completed at Ivy Green Area of Trans-Canada Highway 1 and Hammond Bay area of the Island Highway 19. Stinsonite reflectors were applied to the four-lane sections of the Trans-Canada and Island Highways, greatly improving night-driving conditions. The maintenance management program and control resulted in good achievement on all activities. A very light winter with practically no snowfall; however, considerable freeze and thaw conditions prevailed. The salt spreaders were calibrated to obtain an application rate to meet standards. Main routes were maintained in good winter condition. The access route to Green Mountain remained open as the snowfall was extremely light. Construction—Riverbottom Road was constructed and a section of the road was paved. Harewood Mines Road was constructed and paved. Uplands Drive was widened to provide a paved shoulder for pedestrian traffic. Reconstruction and widening were completed on Lakeside Road, Tiesu Road, Lantzville Road, Pilkey Point Road, and Scannel Road. The following gravel roads were paved: Virostko Road, Oyster Way, Godfrey Road, Thomas Road, Munroe Road, Ware Road, Lambert Street, Andres Road, Bright Angel Park, Christopher Road, Wellington Road, and North Wind Road. Recap paving was completed on Turner Road, Koksilah Road, South Shore Road, North Shore Road, Nanaimo Lakes Road, Bench Road and North Road, Gabriola Island. Bridges Reconstruction was completed on the following bridges: Goat Creek, Hillbank, Pearson, and Waters Bridge. A foot-traffic Bailey bridge was constructed over Haslem Creek near Cassidy. All major bridge drains were cleaned by pressure water. Railings on sundry bridges were painted utilizing a summer student program. Buildings Trailer assembly rooms and office accommodations were established at Cassidy and Lake Cowichan. A contract was awarded for new Cassidy yard buildings and the new establishment is nearing completion with occupancy expected in early summer 1977. REGIONAL REPORTS B 135 Ferries Gabriola and Thetis Island ferries maintained normal service with increasing traffic volumes especially on the Gabriola run. A contract for a new and larger ferry for Gabriola Island was awarded during the later part of the fiscal year. Saanich District Roads Maintenance—Area road foremen achieved acceptable goals of accomplishment in each activity with an expanded minor betterment program made possible by the savings due to the exceptional mild, dry winter. Notable minor betterments were to the intersection of Highway 17 at Sayward Road; a new rest stop on the Malahat complete with toilets and tables; 4.2 miles of plantmix recap on roads in the Langford-Metchosin area, and 1 mile on Porlier Pass Road. The district manufactured 1,300 lineal feet of 27-inch and 1,900 lineal feet of 18-inch reinforced-concrete no-post guardrail for Headquarters and district use. Contracts were called to supply 200 tons of pre-mix aggregate to the Gulf Islands and 12,000 tons of three-quarter crushed granular material to Saltspring Island. The district carried out improvements at the intersection of Highway 1a and Mill- stream Road for a signalized grade crossing. Construction—Projects included in the intersection improvement on the West Saanich Road at Keating Cross Road; deacceleration lane improvements on Highway 17 at Island View Road; storm drain installation on Dundonald Road; 5.1 miles of reconstruction on the East Sooke Road, West Shawnigan Road, Munns Road, and Cranberry Road; 11.5 miles of reconstruction in preparation for paving on the West Coast Road, Mayne Island, and Pender Island; 1.0 mile of reconstruction and paving on the Whiffin Spit Road and 2.4 miles of roadmix paving on sundry roads within the district. Bridges Hannington Bridge on the Millstream Road was rebuilt and Paton Bridge was replaced by the installation of a multi-plate culvert. New 97-foot log-stringers were installed replacing the centre span of the Jordan River Bridge. Buildings Assembly room trailers were set up at Port Renfrew, Cobble Hill, Saltspring, and a new double-wide type purchased for the Colwood crew. Improvements were made to accommodation facilities for the bridge crew and at the Saturna Island and Mayne Island assembly rooms. The district office was relocated from the old premises on Burnside Road to rented office accommodation, also on Burnside Road. Port Alberni District Roads Maintenance—The winter snowfall was light with unusually mild temperatures. However, weather changes necessitated the continuance of operations in shifts. Spring break-up was normal with only a limited amount of flood damage. All road grading and pavement patching operations were continued throughout the year and all gravel roads were treated with dust palliatives. B 136 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 On the minor betterment program, Middlegate, Mersey, and Leffler Roads were paved with 2.1 miles of roadmix asphalt and Veldham, Walmer, Markham, Markham Place, and a portion of Cottam Roads were paved with 0.9 mile of hot plant- mix asphalt. Construction—Construction of 2.37 miles on the Port Albion Road was completed, including the 152 lineal feet of 12-foot 3-inch by 7-foot 6-inch structural steel-plate pipe arch culvert installed at Salmon Creek and the 90-lineal foot Bailey bridge installed at Thornton Creek. Two miles of passing lanes were constructed and paved on the Cameron Lake section of the Alberni Highway 4. A total of 7.9 miles of roads was reconstructed and paved or recapped with 5 miles of regravelling, together with ditching and shoulder improvements. Riprap was placed along the bank of the Little Qualicum River and on the shores of Kennedy Lake. Bridges The structures over the Kitsuksis Creek in the Port Alberni area and the one on Winchester Road in the Parksville area were renewed. Two foot bridges in the French Creek district north of Parksville were renewed as was 450 feet of boardwalk in the Bamfield area. Buildings A 12-foot by 60-foot trailer was purchased and set up in the Port Alberni yard as an assembly room for the road crew. Courtenay District Roads Maintenance—Above-normal precipitation during the summer and above- normal winter temperatures resulted in excessive grading of gravel roads. Considerable gravelling of roads and increased ditching operations improved side roads, while shouldering of paved roads improved our more important roads. With a practically open winter, very little ploughing of snow was required. Freezing and thawing cycles were most frequent requiring numerous salt-sand applications to eliminate slippery road conditions. Snow removal to Forbidden Plateau ski area was handled by contract for the first time. No snow was removed during the first part of the winter but the contractor was kept busy during the late part of the winter. Two new gravel pits were opened, one in the Courtenay area (Brown's River Pit 2) and one in the Campbell River area (Ladore 2). Construction—On Highway 28, several miles were widened between Camp 8 and Buttle Lake Crossing. No-post guardrail was installed with work continuing into 1977/78. Approximately 3 miles of roadmix asphalt and 2 miles of seal- coat were completed. Two miles of hotmix recap were placed, partly on the Island Highway 19 and partly on Highway 28. Miscellaneous side roads were upgraded as needed. Bridges New bridges were constructed using prestressed stringers at Smith South, Courtenay area, and Miller Creek on Highway 28. A temporary bridge was constructed using truss deck-type Bailey bridge to be used as a detour bridge when Black Creek Bridge on the Island Highway 19 is being constructed under contract. Several minor wooden-type bridges were reconstructed or repaired. REGIONAL REPORTS B 137 Buildings A large trailer for crew assembly was purchased for the Courtenay yard. An oil house was constructed for Port Hardy and one partially completed at the Sayward yard. Several wells were drilled at yard-sites on islands off Vancouver Island. A large salt shed was constructed in the Sayward yard. Ferries The MV Albert J. Savoie serviced Hornby Island; MV Klitsa, Denman Island. A new addition was the 80-car ferry MV Sechelt Queen servicing Comox-Powell River. The MV Texada Queen serviced Texada Island; Quadra Queen II, Quadra Island; MV Cortes Queen, Quadra to Cortes Island, and MV Nimpkish Queen serviced Port McNeill, Sointula, and Alert Bay.

(Client Accommodation Inventory System) This was a program commenced in July 1976 to compile a complete inventory of all accommodations, both rented and Government owned, currently administered by Public Works, but likely to be administered in future by B.C.B.C. Under the previous C.O.S.B.O. scheme, considerable work had been done in compiling an inventory of space, but it was obvious that this would not be completed by April 1, 1977, to meet the requirements of the proposed B.C.B.C. C.A.I.S. was, therefore, commenced to obtain only that vital information necessary for the establishment of rentals to client departments which would come into effect April 1, 1977. The program involved teams going out into the field and covering all zones through the Superintendents to compile both layout drawings of accommodation and enumeration of such things as who occupies the space, and a photograph indicating the quality of the space. Project Manager for the program is Graham Browne, and the program is expected to be completed by June of 1977, with a continual update thereafter from the field. Furniture Study A furniture study undertaken by Programming Branch under Geoff Shuttle- worth has progressed steadily over the year. As a result of this study, British Columbia furniture manufacturers have been able to manufacture and supply furniture directly to the Provincial Government for the Health Services Building according to the performance criteria provided by the Ministry of Public Works for the many new buildings presently under construction. It is expected too, that this program will permit the stockpiling of parts, easier repair facilities, and inter- changeability of furniture from one building to another. This program has received enthusiastic support from the Ministry of Economic Development. G. H. Kerr Client Project Director REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 179 W. E. Mills REPORT OF MECHANICAL BRANCH Although the output in design drawings and specifications by this Branch was lower in contract dollars than in previous years, the number of projects completed was higher. Some staff attrition has taken place, primarily draughtsmen and technicians, and some of the engineering talent has been drawn off to lend their expertise to other divisional activities. ENERGY CONSERVATION The Branch has been busy in two areas of energy conservation. First, the Branch has closely reviewed the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers Standard for Energy Conservation in New Building Design and modified this standard to suit Government buildings in British Columbia. This modified standard has been adopted by the Ministry. Secondly, the Branch now has two types of computer programs to assist in the design of mechanical equipment for satisfying the comfort conditions in building design. One program provides answers to the data fed into it for maximum energy demand. The other program, a more complicated one, indicates how energy is used hour by hour and can predict the effectiveness of energy conservation measures. Both of these tools are very useful, not only in the testing and developing of building designs, but in analysing existing buildings for energy conservation. SOLAR ENERGY The Branch has built up a library on the subject of the use of solar energy in buildings. During the year the Province has been analysed for a suitable area for the application of solar energy to a Government building. This study indicated that Victoria would be a suitable area and Government Office Building 2 was chosen because of the existing heat sink on the heat-pump system of heating applied to this building. The design of a solar energy system has been developed for this building. It will not provide for the total heating for this building, but it will provide a great deal of information for future design of solar systems for other buildings. B 180 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 CONVERSION TO THE METRIC SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT The Senior Mechanical Engineer of this Branch is a member of the Committee for Metric Conversion comprised of members from the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Departments or Ministries of Public Works. The object of this committee is to co-ordinate the activities of Departments of Public Works on a national basis for this conversion. It is an active and progressive committee and has been able to "tie down" many details for the start of the conversion, January 1, 1978. The Ministry has, on an experimental basis, designed a motor-vehicle testing station to be built in the Municipality of Surrey. The major problem the design team encountered was to find out what materials will be available in the new dimensions. The design and specifications are finished, awaiting clearance to go to tender. A unique service to the community was provided by this Branch this year, in that we provided the judges for the Regional Science Fair sponsored by the Society for the Advancement of Young Scientists. We also had three high-school students in the office during their Vocational Week, and we attempted to expose them to the working conditions of a design engineering office. W. E. Mills Senior Mechanical Engineer REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 181 J. R. Simpson REPORT OF SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER The Civil Engineering Branch of the Public Works Division, Ministry of Highways and Public Works, encompasses employees of many varied disciplines and skills. The main facet of our work is obviously structural design connected with Government buildings, but we have much other expertise to offer. Many of our engineers and technicians have qualifications and experience in other fields which are of great value to the Ministry, in work not directly connected with building design. Some of the experience our staff has accumulated is in the fields of bridge design and draughting, water supply and dam projects, pollution and sewerage problems, municipal engineering, landscaping design, and construction and experience in contracting work. To illustrate the use of this experience, I am outlining some work, other than structural design, which this Branch is engaged in. In recent years, members of this Branch have been engaged on the design of fish hatcheries and laundries. These are highly specialized projects which require the use of equipment and processes which are under continuous development throughout the world. The selection of this equipment and the design of the processes can only be made following intensive study and investigation. Even if consultants are retained to do this work, the departments involved need "in house" expertise to provide responsible, informed advice. This Branch has been continuously involved in the design, construction, and operation of fish hatcheries for the past 17 years. A reservoir of knowledge and expertise has been developed which would be difficult and costly to replace. The first phase of the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery is now nearing completion. This hatchery has been in the planning and design stage for at least eight years. The water purification system, designed to permit the use of heated water 10 times over, is based on experience obtained from a prototype operated with water from the same system of wells. The Division of Applied Biology of B.C. Research was retained to monitor the operation of the prototype. Application has been made for patents on the system adopted. The design of the later phases will be modified in the light of experience gained in the earlier phases. The design of laundries is a more recent field of endeavour. It appears to be developing into a service required by hospitals in the larger population centres, involving hospital boards and regional districts. Information has been obtained through the retention of specialized consultants and inquiries made to similar institutions throughout the world. B 182 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 The year saw the completion of the Elliott Street Square landscaping. The prime objective of this project was to achieve an effective setting for the 100-year- old Saint Ann's Schoolhouse and Helmcken House. The design attempted to recreate the atmosphere of the period by utilizing brick paving for the square, board walks to the schoolhouse, raised brick planters, a still usable antique well pump, and cast iron lamp standards. The square provides pedestrian access to the Provincial Museum to the west and to Douglas Street on the east. The functions of this Branch now include acoustical engineering, and corrective treatment has been successfully specified in several buildings during the past year. In the sheet-metal shop at B.C. Vocational School, Burnaby, acoustic panels were installed in order to reduce noise levels to Workers' Compensation Board standards, and work has just started for remedial acoustic treatment of 48 classrooms in the Multi-Discipline building. Recommendations for open-offices are made, but there is still a widely held misconception that acoustic privacy is attainable, and the use of open planning should not be regarded as an acoustical environment for all occupancies. J. R. Simpson, P.Eng. Senior Civil Engineer REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 183 H. E. Beier REPORT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BRANCH GREAT EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS AHEAD With the end of the fiscal year 1976/77, the Design Section of Public Works Division, Ministry of Highways and Public Works, will cease its operations as an integral part of the Ministry. Many staff members may be transferred into the British Columbia Buildings Corporation. For myself the end of the fiscal year spells also the end of my career with the Public Service. I am retiring. In spite of the many changes past and still forthcoming, the staff of the Electrical Engineering Branch has done its tasks with great determination and without hesitation. Although many projects for Government buildings have been carried out by consulting engineers, the liaison was still an important task to be performed by the Branch's engineers. The most important project is undoubtedly the ongoing construction of the British Columbia Building (Blocks 51, 61, 71 Vancouver). Here our engineers did not only liaise with the electrical consultant and the lighting engineer, they also exercised Inter-Departmental communications, such as electrical to mechanical engineering staff. Together the two disciplines liaised with the controls consultants and contractors. In many seminars, I had in the past emphasized the need for close co-ordination and co-operation between the architects and the lighting designer. These efforts were really bearing fruits on several restoration projects which had been recently completed. The most outstanding projects in this category were the Revelstoke Courthouse, and the Rithet Building on Wharf Street, Victoria. The restoration of the Legislative Building is still progressing as scheduled. The Executive Council Chamber, six Ministerial suites, the Press Interviewing Theatre and Press Gallery and the Premier's suite have been completed. Here, our engineers had to work in close co-operation with the Members of the House and with Hansard officials. Beside these restoration projects, the Electrical Engineering Branch has completed numerous other alterations and renovation projects throughout the Province. To name a few: The erection of two additional floors at the Victoria Law Courts and the first two phases of alterations to the Courthouse in Nanaimo have been B 184 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 completed, while further alterations and additions are under construction on both buildings. In Vancouver a former warehouse has been converted into an important operational centre for the Co-ordinated Law Enforcement Unit (C.L.E.U.). On this building the engineering became a challenge, because of the fact that the building was already occupied and operating while construction and engineering were still being developed. The Provincial Government Office Building 1, slated to house the Provincial Health Services, is substantially completed and will be occupied by the end of March 1977. Here the involvement of the staff was in liaison with the private consultant. The engineers of the Electrical Engineering Branch participated also in pro- motionary programs that this Government sponsored, such as a Student Information Week, in which high-school students were invited to participate in our work. They also conducted impromptu workshops to familiarize architects and engineers of other disciplines with the work of the electrical engineer. Their extra-curricular activities in technical organizations such as Engineering Institute, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and the Illuminating Engineering Institute, familiarized the interested public with the engineering work within the framework of Public Works. Needless to say, the Public Works staff members donated great portions of their own time for the preparation and execution of such educational, often Government- sponsored, events. In connection with the Illuminating Engineers Society we conducted architectural and roadway lighting seminars with great success, from which in turn attending staff members profited. Lately, the year 1976/77 saw the former Branch heads working fully in their capacity as senior professional advisers. In that role, my colleagues and I were engaged in many policy advisory committees, among others: The Energy Conservation Committee, the Task Force on Staffing Specifications, and Staff Education Committee. The Public Works standards for Energy Conservation in Public Building Design, the work of the Energy Conservation Committee, were adopted. The imminent change from Public Works to British Columbia Buildings Corporation has understandably created a certain amount of uncertainty, but was also the stimulus to great anticipation for all staff members of the Electrical Engineering Branch. I am proud to say all staff members have done their best to bring the various Public Works projects to a very satisfactory completion. I am proud of their achievement and can say without fear of contradiction that the Public Works design staff, in general, and especially the Electrical Engineering staff in their achievements, compare very favourably with private consultants. On my retirement from Public Service, I would like to thank all staff members for their continued and faithful support, my peers for their excellent partnership and comradeship, and my superiors for the trust that they had placed in me. For all those whom I leave behind, serving in their new environment, I wish all success and satisfaction with their work. May the British Columbia Buildings Corporation continue in the Public Works tradition to success. We can all be proud of what we achieved in Public Works. Harry E. Beier, P.Eng. Senior Electrical Engineer REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 185 W. D. Lougher-Goodey REPORT OF THE ARCHITECT PLANNER The year under review, namely, April 1976 to March 1977, will be remembered by those with longer service as a period of merging with others to form one Ministry, only to part again as the Buildings Corporation is brought into operation. The work of the Planning Division continued without abatement and with less staff assistance owing to transfers to other Branches requiring assistance. One of the major tasks assigned to this office on a continuing basis has taken the form of an inventory of real estate owned by the Crown Provincial, together with a survey of both leased and Crown-owned properties. This work proceeds as expeditiously as possible with the staff available, and it is anticipated that as far as survey is concerned, the assignment will be completed by the close of this fiscal year. Coupled with the above survey, this office prepared a comprehensive space report for the Victoria area, which indicated the whereabouts of every public servant at that moment in time, and the location in which each program should be stationed for the remainder of the 1970's. This report has been approved subject to the various ministries concerned accepting the chargeback at the appropriate time from the British Columbia Buildings Corporation. Agreement is also confirmed in regard to the take-up of space in all new Crown-owned properties in course of construction. One of the advantages of the format of the report was that it could be constantly updated, to keep pace with the day-to-day changes in the Public Service. Space, per se, is one of the vital attributes of habitat, for its quality has a major influence upon the welfare and survival of any organism. While the normal administrative volume of work continues in regard to preparation of agreements for easements and rights-of-way, conveyances, policy advice on land reservation, property exchanges, and declarations of surplus, there has been an upsurge in demand for special briefs and reports on the status of Crown property, land planning policies at major Government properties, the organization of topographical surveys, the redesignation of land boundaries for Correctional Centres, purchase of properties during previous Government incumbencies, land use policies for regional colleges and vocational schools, and the nomenclature of Government- owned buildings in the Victoria area. Dossiers have also been prepared in regard to the Inner Harbour, Victoria, proposals for the use of vacated establishments such as St. Martin's Hospital, Oliver, and confidential reports for interprovincial conferences, negotiations with the Federal Government and statutory authorities. These pages have constantly stressed the vital importance of land as a resource, not as a commodity, but with the winds of change in Government administration, B 186 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 those who have built up that resource may be compelled to witness a lessening in the thinking of that importance. Built-up areas of streets, buildings, and the occasional precious open space, cannot be ploughed up and harvested like crops. We have to preserve with care, and utilize our possessions with sense and sensibility. In order to attain all our planning requirements, some concept of resource pooling is required at this late stage, in what can only be termed as "angina urbis." Looking ahead is not, after all, involved with future decisions and actions. It is involved with the future implications of today's decisions and actions. One looks ahead to form strategies that will avoid crises, to make tomorrows easier when they become today. It is done so that small orderly actions today will eliminate fire drills on some future today. It is done so that there will be time to get ready at the lowest possible cost. Executives and staff planners look ahead and isolate subtle, nonobvious, actions to be taken now. One thing is well-known to management, and this is that a forecast is more than an extrapolation of the past, because changes occur in the underlying technological, economic, managerial, political, and social forces. We have to involve ourselves in creating an efficient focus on these changing forces. By 1990, it is predicted that more than half of the world's population will be living in cities of 100,000 or more inhabitants. Such rapid change, with an impact on man's life greater than that of the industrial revolution, calls for radical changes in thinking by both planners and the general public. This office maintains constant touch, in day-to-day planning matters, with Town Planning Commissions, the Capital Region Planning Board, Municipal Councils and Planning Offices in senior tiers of Government. Included in the administrative duties are attendance at zoning appeals, public meetings and boards of variance in accordance with the pertinent Acts and regulations. A constant war is being waged by many forces which affect the use of our land and the form of our towns and buildings. Planning policies that do not work with these forces are bound to fail. Unless those in command appreciate these forces or trends and their origins, and the relative power and justice of the demands that set them going, we shall not proceed very far in guiding land use in the true public interest. The foregoing is a quote from the first report written by this office some 20 years ago, and is even more appropriate as a conclusion to the last. W. D. LOUGHER-GOODEY F.R.T.P.I., F.I.L.A., M.I.F.L.A., M.C.P.I., M.A.S.P.O., A.I.Struct. E. Architect Planner REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 187 S. R. Toller REPORT OF THE SENIOR QUANTITY SURVEYOR The year 1976/77 has been one in which, for both the Ministry and the construction industry, there has been a marked reduction in the value of new work started. The resulting increase in the competition for the work that has been tendered has slowed the rate of inflation in construction prices. Wages and material prices increased by approximately 10 per cent, but selling prices moved upward by only approximately 7 per cent, a clear indication that contractors were absorbing some of the cost increases in order to obtain work. Slowdowns in the growth of the value of construction contracts awarded can be painful to some of the contractors and more so to the tradesmen that become unemployed, but there is no doubt that in the period 1973-75 the amount of work started had caused an overheating of the economy of the industry. Prices increased rapidly and were accompanied by correspondingly large awards in wage agreements. That wages in this Province were moving faster than elsewhere can be deduced from increases awarded by the Anti-Inflation Board. In the period January 1976 to January 1977, of the increases authorized by the Board in 20 cities in Canada, only three received less than did the trades in Vancouver and Victoria. The remaining 15 received higher awards, on the basis, one must assume, that they were allowed to make up the differential resulting from earlier agreements. If the A.I.B. target of 6 per cent is maintained in the coming year and if the market does not improve substantially, it is reasonable to expect increases in prices to remain in the range of 7 to 8 per cent. During the past year, the Department of Public Works of the Federal Government very generously gave the Ministry a copy of their computer program for the financial analysis of different solutions to problems of design. It is essentially a comparison program, that is, if alternative solutions to a problem, e.g., new construction, alterations to existing, or an addition to an existing building, are possible, the program enables us to analyse quickly and with some sophistication the financial implications of each solution. It should prove to be an interesting tool for us to use. With the advent of British Columbia Buildings Corporation, perhaps we can be allowed to review the progress attained and the work done by the Branch in the past 10 years. In 1966, there was no system of cost control of the design or even of preparing reasonable budgets for projects; in that year three major projects were redesigned B 188 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 because they were as much as 50 per cent over the budget. An estimate was prepared prior to the closing of tenders, a time at which, if the tenders exceeded the budget, it was too late to do anything but redesign. A system of cost control was introduced that has been partially effective, its success depending upon the willingness of the architect to stay with the program for the job and to exert the self-discipline required to remain within his budget. The accuracy of the estimates is acceptable in that they have averaged within approximately 6 per cent of the low bid. The Ministry has, on several occasions, saved considerable sums of money by refusing to accept tenders that were above the estimate and by following a recommendation to rebid, the subsequent tenders received having been within the office estimate. A system of collecting the costs-in-use of buildings was, after several years of delays and frustrations, introduced and is operating in one of the zones. The time schedule called for implementation in all zones in January 1977, but the advent of British Columbia Buildings Corporation has delayed it further. Following the introduction of a computerized system of updating unit prices, with the added facility to produce estimates from it, indexes of input and selling prices have been prepared, enabling us to update prices of previous estimates. By producing indexes of future prices, the anticipated movement of future prices can be obtained. The Branch has also devised a system of obtaining by computer the anticipated flow of Ministry funds and monthly updates of the status of the budget. Studies have also been made of the economics of the construction industry, the feasibility of adopting bills of quantities as a method of tendering (this was rejected) and we are now preparing a method of obtaining the state of busyness of the industry for a period between 9 and 18 months in the future. The decade has seen a great change in the work of the Branch and, in spite of delays and frustrations, we can claim some success in our work and in the new systems and methods employed. This success is due entirely to the efforts of a staff that, on so many occasions, has proved its competence and, by its professional attitude and willingness to work together as a team, has developed, from two individuals in 1966, into a Branch that contributes its share of work in the Ministry. S. R. Toller, M.C.I.Q.S. Senior Quantity Surveyor REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 189 REPORT OF PROPERTY SERVICES BRANCH Property Services Branch provides services in the areas of property acquisition and appraisal, acquisition of leased space, and disposal of surplus land and buildings. As well, the Branch carries out feasibility studies and analyses to determine the optimum solution for any given space need. Special projects such as the leasing of food services facilities in the new British Columbia Building Office and Court complex in downtown Vancouver also form part of this Branch's activities. This work is carried out through the two field offices in Victoria and Burnaby under the supervision of M. R. Sampson and V. Scanlon respectively, and our Special Projects Officer, S. R. Colwill. The small back-up headquarters' staff handles lease documentation and records, and liaison with all ministries in connection with their occupancy of leased premises; until his retirement in December 1976, this headquarters' component was under the supervision of J. A. (Bill) Ingram. Leasing activity during 1976/77 fiscal period is statistically depicted as follows: New leases . 126 Cancelled leased 108 Renewed leased 176 Total leases held (at end of fiscal year) 643 Total area leased, 3,050,000 square feet. Dollar volume relating to the foregoing is provided within the Comptroller's report. The Branch has completed, under the supervision of H. Niezen, a computerized inventory of all properties under the administration and control of Public Works. The Branch also prepared, along with the very able assistance and co-operation of many others within the Ministry, the estimates for the occupancy charges for office and similar accommodation which all ministries will be charged for through the British Columbia Buildings Corporation commencing April 1, 1977. Due recognition is given to the outstanding effort of all staff within the Branch in handling the heavy work load, while continuing to be understaffed. P. Gregory, A.A.C.I. Manager B 190 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Geoff Shuttleworth REPORT OF THE SENIOR PROGRAMMER The diversity of assignments undertaken by Programming and Planning Branch during the year 1976/77 is illustrative of the scope and significance of the contribution which systematic pre-design planning and programming can make to "Better Buildings." In a number of projects the process continued, as construction progressed, through to the detailed space planning for occupancy. Pre-design Planning Assignments Included: • A study of the present and projected "needs" of Government in the Greater Vancouver urban area to provide a basis for short- and medium-term planning of the provision of suitable, cost effective accommodation. • Land use and building evaluation studies for two Mental Health Institutions to assist with the formulation of policies and planning guidelines for improved use of land and buildings. • An examination of present facilities in the Victoria area with a view to improving space utilization by better storage and handling methods. Programming Assignments Covered: • Pre-design programming and the preparation of cost estimates for a number of small correctional facilities, including trailer and prefabricated camp buildings at Rayleigh, Hutda Lake, and Bear Creek, also community centre programs at Col- quitz (Wilkinson Road), Burnaby, and Oakalla. Funds are still required for most of these projects. Other work eased the task of the design architect in preparing working drawings and contract documents for an admissions holding extension at Oakalla, and for replacement of all correctional facilities occasioned by the takeover by Ministry of Education of the existing main centre at Haney. • A considerable amount of time was devoted to programming of the new remand centre in Vancouver where a number of conflicting issues were identified for resolution at the pre-design stage rather than during the development of working drawings. It is an important function of programming to minimize changes after detail design starts or even during construction due to new or revoked policy decisions, by making sure these are identified and resolved before direct design starts. • Feasibility studies and functional programs for multi-occupancy office buildings in several towns throughout the Province. By combining offices with other REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 191 levels of government and their agencies, worth-while mutual economies can be achieved. • Preparation of a number of alternative proposals in draft program form for a B.C. Vocational School for electrical apprentices and journeymen in the industrial and construction fields. Some preliminary space requirements had been prepared by a joint training committee and the Ministry of Labour, based on projected enrolments. An early assessment of these proposals was made by Programming Branch, which indicated an opportunity to avoid the costs of over-building by careful scheduling of activities, within a new building concept, to optimize the utilization of spaces. Further developments might include a shift system of training, to double the potential student output without any increase in the building area. Space Planning for Occupancy continued throughout the year on a number of office projects. During the year the new Provincial Government Office Building at Courtenay and Blanshard in Victoria was occupied by the combined Ministries of Housing and Municipal Affairs. Also final preparations were completed for the move-in on April 8, 1977, of the greater part of the Ministry of Health to the new Richard Blanshard Building in Victoria. This building, which accommodates over 1,000 people in predominantly open plan layouts on seven large floors, is the biggest, purpose designed, cost effective building of its kind on the West Coast. It incorporates a number of innovative features, including the new B.C. Government furniture system which was developed and manufactured in British Columbia. Work on the detailed planning of other new office facilities and major conversion projects in Victoria, Vancouver, and elsewhere continued throughout the year. Geoff Shuttleworth Senior Programmer B 192 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 Ralph P. H. Gillett REPORT OF THE INTERIOR DESIGN ARCHITECT The concept of the interior designer as an individual entity, who is called upon to submit his contribution for evaluation by the users of the space concerned, may suit the domestic market but is totally inadequate for his more complex responsibility toward design in Public Service buildings. Not only is extended knowledge required in the problems encountered by technical services and building construction, but a total concept is required of the client Ministry's operations coupled with up-to-date information on office methods and effects of the environment on the occupants. It is extremely rare to find all the required abilities in one person and cooperation between the designer and other disciplines is essential for a successful outcome. The team approach has worked well in the development of a new range of office furniture now being installed in the Health Services Building in Victoria. Our responsibilities in this case were limited to advice on the design and construction of the new furniture, while the Programming Branch developed the performance specifications and liaised with the Ministry of Health and consultant Architects. This year has also seen the substantial completion of the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery, a project which has occupied a great deal of time over many years and one where the Interior Design Branch stepped out of its accepted role and undertook the complete architectural design. It was a unique opportunity to develop the total concept principle in co-operation with so many other disciplines. Under construction at the moment is the restoration of Revelstoke Courthouse. The exterior of this fine building has been kept virtually as it was originally designed, but the interior has been drastically changed to allow for a different type of occupancy. Although completely different, the interior design has maintained the style of architecture which was popular at the turn of the century and which best complements the exterior. This, coupled with up-to-date facilities such as air-conditioning, an elevator, and conformation with the latest fire regulations, produced a challenge which could only be overcome by excellent co-operation of all branches of Public Works. Another example of heritage preservation is the Rithet Building overlooking the harbour on Wharf Street. This was one of Victoria's first masonry structures, originally built as a warehouse and purchased by the Provincial Government in 1974. It has now been recycled to accommodate the offices of Tourism British Columbia. REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 193 The attitude adopted by the design team was one of reflecting the qualities and values of the late 19th century without resorting to the antique. The furniture system selected is compatible with the desire to create efficient office accommodation and methods, yet it harmonizes well with the environment created by the building framework. These projects are perhaps the highlights of some 40 or 50 other jobs tackled by the Interior Design Branch during this fiscal year. To list them is meaningless, since it is well known that the simplest of jobs can demand the greatest effort. Ralph P. H. Gillett, M.S.I.A.D., M.R.A.I.C.

B 194 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF PERSONNEL SERVICES In anticipation of the transfer of responsibility for Provincial buildings and property to the British Columbia Buildings Corporation from the Ministry of Highways and Public Works, much of the past year has been spent in dealing with personnel and organizational issues which relate to this transition. In this regard, the Personnel Services Division has provided information and advice to the Government-appointed management consulting firm of Peat Marwick and Partners on items relating to recruitment and selection, compensation and job evaluation, labour relations, manpower planning and development, occupational health and safety, and related personnel management systems. Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery—Exterior ponds and Water Treatment Plant. REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 195 In preparation for the transfer and to ensure that this Ministries' staff were kept informed on events relating to the development of the British Columbia Buildings Corporation, this Division assisted the Deputy Minister in presenting a series of speaking engagements throughout the Province to give all employees an opportunity to gain a first-hand perspective of what the change might mean to them. Similar discussions were also held with the two bargaining agents who represent the collective interests of the employees of Public Works. While much of this Division's efforts over the past year have been directed toward the future requirements of the Buildings Corporation, normal personnel activities in support of Public Works management have also continued. Significant effort has been directed at maintaining our service standards in recruitment, job classification, labour relations, training, and safety. Two items within the above- mentioned programs are worthy of special note. During the past year we have accomplished a substantial improvement in lost-time accidents which was the objective in establishing our occupational and health program noted in the previous annual report. Secondly, we have been successful in this past year in sponsoring a week-long supervisory development program for a number of first-line supervisors which hopefully will result in more effective performance and improved supervisor/subordinate relationships. In view of the fact that this will be the writer's final contribution to the annual report for the Ministry of Highways and Public Works, I would like to acknowledge the most valuable contribution made by my staff in assisting me in providing personnel service to this Ministry and to the management and staff of all other Divisions who have extended their support and co-operation to our efforts over the past three years.

REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 197 REPORT OF OPERATION SERVICES During the fiscal period under review, the Department of Public Works has again joined and been consolidated with the Department of Highways, and its major functions are now in the process of being transferred to the new British Columbia Buildings Corporation. These major organization shifts have resulted in staff positions remaining unfilled and a general uncertainty regarding future policy of the operating organization. Despite depletion of employees not only at Headquarters but also in works force and all levels of the organization, all buildings and their services have been kept operative with a minimum inconvenience to the client departments. The present policy of not replacing "in house" forces is placing a very heavy strain upon the existing organization in the field, as personnel are not available to prepare specifications, award the contracts, and supervise same. The success of obtaining services from the public sector to maintain and service our buildings will largely depend upon our ability to prepare good specifications and subsequently be able to monitor the performance of the contract. The uncertainty of Corporation approval of the building manager system to supervise our building operation and maintenance has delayed the implementation of our previous plans to progressively recruit these personnel first to new buildings and subsequently throughout the Province. As an interim measure works zones have organized building management responsibility on an area basis using existing labour resources. The two regional representatives have continued to promote the efficient and effective delivery of services to the client departments, by decentralization of the decision-making, and provision of services. Frequent field visits and conferences with staff to develop programs and objectives have continued throughout the year. In addition the education of field personnel to make knowledgeable decisions at local level is still being promoted. Active participation by all in the safety program in addition to responding to Workers' Compensation Board Regulations in respect to the provision of first aid facilities in both new and existing properties continued. Highways maintenance establishments throughout the Province, which have only in recent years become a direct responsibility of this Division, have been found in very poor condition, and necessitated priority being given over other work to correct this condition. Many of the vehicle exhaust systems have been found inadequate, defective, or in some instances non existent. Mechanical and heating equipment was also found to be in need of upgrading, repair, or redesign. This work has formed a large portion of the work load of the Technical Services Mechanical component in designating and supervising the installation of these systems, in cooperation with installation by field forces. In conclusion I would like to acknowledge with thanks the co-operation we have received from all other Branches of this Department, our clients, and our own staff who have contributed to the success of this year's program. Stanley Lloyd, A.R.I.B.A., Dip. Pub. Admin., Director of Operations Services B 198 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 D. Grey REPORT OF THE COORDINATOR OF CONSTRUCTION The year 1976/77 saw the continuation of the program of construction of major buildings, the most notable features of which were the completion of the Richard Blanshard Building, and the restoration of the Rithet Building. Both the design work and construction management were provided by "in- house" staff for the Rithet Building project. The design team, headed by architect M. Bawtinheimer, did an outstanding design job and also co-operated in an exemplary manner with the Construction Branch staff, in particular, with the quantity surveyor, M. Nelms, and the site co-ordinator, D. Lebeter. This excellent building, which now houses Tourism, British Columbia, is a lasting tribute to all concerned, and the fact that the whole project was completed under budget is a tribute to the hard-working and able staff of the Construction Branch, and its methods. To illustrate what is involved in an "in-house" managed project, during the current fiscal year on 12 projects, 123 contract packages were put together, to the value of $3.6 million, specified, budgeted, tendered, and administered, using an absolute minimum of staff. I should add that some of the rationale leading to the selection of this type of construction system was that the projects concerned offered little chance of success under conventional methods; the fact that all were in fact successful indicates the efficiency of the Construction Branch staff and the degree of co-operation received from our designers. The Richard Blanshard Building, which is attached to the original B.C. Hydro Building at Blanshard Street and Pandora Avenue, Victoria, comprises over 200,000 square feet of space, and will house almost the entire staff of the Ministry of Health. Design and construction management were both handled by outside consultants, but all of the client co-ordination, system operation, and budgetary control were set up and carried out by "in-house" staff. It is the first major Government project to employ "open office landscape" principles, and the first with a furniture system specifically designed to relate to them. In spite of the many modifications required by such a multi-faceted organization such as the Ministry of Health, we have been successful in completing the project substantially under budget and close to the original time schedule (excluding the usual construction industry lockout). REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 199 Another major construction management project completed during the year was the Classroom and Laboratory Building at the B.C. Institute of Technology, Burnaby, which again was designed by consultants and management services provided by an outside firm. The construction system, reporting, and budgetary control which the Construction Branch pioneered on this project were eminently successful and resulted in a considerable saving in the budget, as well as providing satisfaction to the client in terms of suitability, and having the building delivered to them in time for classes to commence. Of particular note in the conventional type of contract is the recently completed Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery at Abbotsford. Designed and supervised by in-house staff, this'highly complex facility required the utmost effort both in the design work and in the supervision of construction, particularly when one considers the difficult nature of the site. The Project Manager, C. E. Trueman, his team, and the inspector, A. A. Gibbs, are to be congratulated for a first-class performance. Three of the less-prominent conventional contracts completed during the year are the two-storey extension to the Law Courts, Victoria, Office Building at 810 Blanshard Street, and alterations to offices, 411 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver. In conclusion, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the staff of the Construction Branch for all their efforts, and to the members of the Design, and Operation and Services Divisions for their co-operation and help during the year. D. Grey, M.C.I.Q.S., Dip. Pub. Admin. Co-ordinator of Construction B 200 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 H. J. Greig REPORT OF ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS AND SERVICES GLENDALE LAUNDRY During the period under review, work continued in arranging for the establishment of a linen service for the hospital customers. As of March 31, 1977, a draft of a contract agreement was under study by the users' committee. It is expected that establishment of a linen service will result in significant economies in the processing of hospital linen. A total of 6,823,300 pounds of linen was processed at a unit cost of $0.1835, down 3 per cent from the previous period. This, of course, is counter to the now expected annual rise in costs and is due to continuing attention to increasing the efficiency of the plant by Manager L. Balmer and his staff. One new washer-extractor was installed, to replace an inadequate machine, and two new finishing machines were installed to increase productivity in the handling of hospital uniforms. GLENSHIEL HOTEL The Glenshiel Hotel property at 606 Douglas Street in Victoria was acquired in December 1972 to protect the Government's land assembly interest in the precinct. Pending other use, its operation as a hotel has continued under the direction of a professional manager and a committee composed of Public Works employees. The Manager is Bert Hanson and the committee consists of H. J. Greig (Chairman), A. E. Rhodes, S. Lloyd, and R. J. Myers. The facility has 75 rooms to let, and offers a transient hotel service and dining- room as well as board and room at monthly rates. A staff of 22 is permanently employed. LIONS GATE TOURIST COURT The Lions Gate Tourist Court, 329 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, was purchased by the Ministry of Highways to protect that Ministry's interests in the event of reconstruction of approaches to the First Narrows Crossing. Pending redevelopment, it is operated by a committee of the Ministry of Public Works, who employ a resident manager. The Manager is F. McBain, and the committee members are H. J. Greig (Chairman), S. Lloyd, A. E. Rhodes, and E. W. Mabbett. REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 201 The motel consists of 18 units of an older type which rent at the low end of the scale. A staff of four are employed and full municipal taxes are paid. An operating surplus of $624 was achieved in the year under review. H. J. Greig, P.Eng. Assistant Director, Operations and Services B 202 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 F. D. Sturdy REPORT OF COORDINATOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES The Technical Services Branch functions, in co-ordination with the Regional Representatives and their Zone Superintendents of Works, to provide architectural and engineering services on any matters related to the maintenance, repairs, renovations, or alterations to the fabric and services of buildings and the operation of physical plants and services. During the year 126 work projects were undertaken by the Branch. Of these, contracts were awarded for 65 projects and on 36 projects the installation work was performed by Public Works trade forces, 25 projects involved surveys, assessments, and reports. Throughout the year, frequent field trips were made by staff members to assist and advise superintendents and their staffs on a variety of operational and maintenance problems and to survey requirements for renovations and alterations, the progress of work and work performance. The Architectural Section undertook a broad range of projects, including moving contracts, reroofing jobs, building entrance ramps for the handicapped, and a variety of minor and major renovations and alteration works. This section, during the year, also assisted the Zone 1 Space Co-ordinator by providing interior planning of space for rental accommodation. One project of particular note was the design for the complete interior reconstruction of an acquired commercial building in Terrace for the accommodation of the Highways District Manager, the Safety Inspection Services' offices, and the consolidation of offices and works shops of the Public Works Terrace district. Twenty-eight contracts were awarded during the year. The Electrical Section, in addition to providing designs for building alterations, carried out a number of projects for upgrading and additions to fire-alarm systems, electrical plants, and distribution systems. Particular attention was given to systems serving remote Highways establishments. Typical of such projects were reconstruction of the diesel generating plant, including an additional diesel generator and the renewal of the distribution system at Good Hope Lake; conversion from site generated power to Hydro electric power at Tatogga Lake; the removal of two generators from Tatogga Lake and their installation in a transportable housing unit for service at Mile 54 Revelstoke district. This latter will allow the easy relocation of the complete generating station in the likely event that the present establishment is relocated. REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 203 The Civil and Structural Section undertook a variety of projects involving provision of parking-lots, renovations and renewal of sewerage tile fields, alterations to sewage-treatment plants, investigations and studies to determine structural capabilities for additional loadings in buildings and structural designs for building alterations. A roof superstructure was designed and constructed over the staff accommodation trailer units at the Meziadin Lake Highways Establishment to protect against overloads from snow build-up. A continuing service was provided to ensure that regulatory requirements were being complied with in respect to sewage disposal and other waste-disposal systems, and that sewerage plants and systems were being operated and maintained effectively. The Mechanical Section prepared designs and awarded contracts for 28 projects for the upgrading, renewal, and renovation of mechanical systems, and in addition provided designs for incorporation into building alterations. Special emphasis was given toward the upgrading of heating and fume exhaust ventilation systems in Highways maintenance establishments, and necessary upgrading work was carried out at 21 locations. Surveys indicate that most of the Highways establishments have inadequate fume exhaust systems and many require renewal or upgrading of heating systems. A continuing program will be required if these are to be brought up to acceptable standards. The Section's Controls Technician conducted surveys in a number of buildings, assessed and corrected operational faults, recalibrated control elements, and advised operating personnel on procedures for continuing maintenance. In addition, he held seminars for building maintenance mechanics in Zones 6 and 4 on the principles of operation and maintenance of control systems. F. D. Sturdy, P.Eng. Co-ordinator of Technical Services B 204 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 S. W. Lawson REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SAFETY ENGINEERING SERVICES DIVISION The Safety Engineering Services Division legislation has as its primary objective the provision of a safe environment for the citizens of British Columbia in the disciplines of boiler and pressure vessels, electricity, and gas. The Division consists of the Boiler and Pressure Vessels, Gas and Electrical Safety Branches, along with an administrative section. A Building Standards and Research Branch was formed early in the year and attached to the Division, with its future role to be determined by the results of an investigation under way on building regulatory activity in the Province. The service delivery system for the Division has been under constant review and revision to meet the changing needs of the citizens of the Province. Emphasis has been placed on participation by the industry and society in the various Branch systems for developing and interpreting regulations. Such advisory committee activity has increased immeasurably with many recommendations forthcoming for improvements in kinds and levels of service. The Branches have continued to contribute to the national standards system and, through representation to national code-making bodies, have ensured such standards are appropriate for adoption in British Columbia. By recognizing the expertise and efforts which go into, along with the advantages of, the national system the Province is provided with usable and tangible results, thereby obviating exorbitant costs which would be entailed in promulgating strictly Provincial standards. To optimize the use of resources, the safety education content was increased through improved information systems in safety for the industry and society. Within the scope of the individual Branches there have been continued innovations in the form of seminars, technical bulletin releases, etc., to assist the industry in becoming well informed and knowledgeable on the latest safety standards. This activity provides for a sharing of responsibility with industry, thereby reducing pressure for increased inspectional forces. Appeals procedures are being refined and adopted to ensure that persons subject to rulings of enforcing authorities will be able to obtain an impartial hearing on any of their concerns. Staff members dealing with building standards and research were brought together during the early part of the year to form the nucleus of a safety organiza- REPORT OF CLIENT PROJECT DIRECTOR B 205 tion now called the Building Standards and Research Branch. This Branch's responsibilities include an advisory service to the Provincial authority responsible for the building code; the provision of research and technical services for the operation of the Building Code Appeal Board; liaison activities with other Governments and agencies on building regulations; and research on construction materials and systems. An investigation is now under way which will likely result in recommendations concerning the future developments of building regulatory activity. Specific branch activities include survey of plans and designs to ensure conformance with adopted safety standards, examination and certification of persons and equipment, investigations of accidents and fires, installation inspections, and educational functions which include standards development meetings, code seminars, and dissemination of information on new and amended requirements. Following are selected statistical data for 1976/77: Inspections conducted Work permits issued Equipment certified Examinations given Individuals or contractors certified Investigations conducted Plans examined or designs surveyed Meetings or seminars conducted Written recommendations and reports on defects and hazards (estimated) Appeals (Resource to Building Code Appeal Board) 187,605 104,267 15,037 6,453 14,539 313 6,306 3501 70.6871 100 i Approximate. The Branch reports which follow detail the particular service delivered in the efforts to minimize loss of life, injury, and property damage. S. W. Lawson Executive Director, Safety Engineering Services Division B 206 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 BOILER SAFETY BRANCH Following along the development of last year's activities, numerous working committees met regularly and frequently, drawn together under advisory boards for consultative purposes to draft recommendations for changes to our Act and regulations. Discussions were fruitful and a good deal of information has been compiled. The process of formalizing the resulting recommendations for legislative counsel is well under way. Within the Branch, reorganization to provide effective supervision and monitoring of activities has been furthered and acceptance in principle has been achieved. Accordingly, we are now in the preliminary stages of change. Due to circumstances beyond our control, our microfilm project has been arrested; consequently, much needed space has not been made available, and time- consuming manual operations continue. We have not made appreciable advances in obtaining data-procesing equipment and systems for our use, again, seriously hampering efficient effective use of our personnel and limiting our capacity to provide analytical services and information and contain records in minimal space. Two explosions occurred during the year, one of which was a propane transport vessel and the other in an ammonia refrigeration plant. There were no fatalities; some personal injury and property damage. Many hazards and potentially serious defects were eliminated through the activities of the Branches involving faulty safety relief valves, defective controls, low-water conditions, welded attachments, cracked tubesheets, and thinned portions of tube shells and heads. Full reports are on file of the explosions, hazardous conditions, defects, and the investigations carried out. Activity summaries are included.

B 210 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS, RESEARCH, AND SPECIFICATIONS BRANCH During the first part of the period covered by this report all Branch staff were occupied with our various functions, which interlock to a large degree. We have, however, suffered seriously from lack of staff in all areas. A necessity for specialization and avoidance of conflict of interest resulted in a split-up of the Branch part way through the period. Some staff dealing with building standards and research were given autonomy to form the nucleus of a separate organization, now called the Building Standards and Research Branch. The work of the Branch, in connection with the Building Code, has rapidly escalated. Appeals to the Appeal Board run at the rate of over 100 per cent, with an even greater number resolved by discussion either in office or by telephone. We have issued and will continue issuing technical articles to municipalities in response to their requests on various problems, and the volume of this work has grown to the extent we must use a computerized mailing list to cope. Building inspectors use the Branch on an ever-increasing scale as an advisory service which, while a tribute, is a definite strain on our resources. The new Branch's work is basically involved with the Provincial Building Code adopted by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It prepared the draft of the proposed Building Regulations for the Physically Disabled, which has been circulated for comment and was very favourably received. Projects on which we have been compelled to cease work due to the staff shortages are extensive and include the following: (1) Explanatory manual on Part 9 of the Building Code. (2) Field inspection manual for building inspectors. (3) Plan review manual. We regret taking this action as these publications would be a tremendous aid toward the uniform interpretation and application of the Building Code. In addition the One-and-Two-family Dwelling Code, which we had anticipated commencing to assist house builders, could not be started. We place a high priority on the establishment of an educational process in building regulations as this will assist in providing uniformity of applications. It has also been our feeling that many site problems arise through the inspectors' lack of confidence in their own knowledge. The education process and eventually our technical manuals would help eliminate this situation. The Building Inspectors Association held several workshops dealing with Part 9 of the Code, in which we assisted and participated. At their annual conference we provided staff to head discussions on various aspects of the Code. We have also assisted them with their own certification examinations, the first series were carried out in March of this year. Much remains to be done to ensure reality and simplicity in the application of building regulations, but we now have a very clear picture of what is necessary to achieve considerable financial savings and ensure reasonable peace of mind for everybody involved in the construction and alteration of buildings. Our representation on committees dealing with building regulations and standards has increased, although we are refusing membership on a large number due to inadequate resources. We already represent British Columbia on the main interprovincial bodies in this field, we also provide representation on national committees under the auspices of the Canadian Government Specifications Board and the Canadian Standards Association. Our work has resulted in requests that we form SAFETY ENGINEERING SERVICES DIVISION B 211 part of the very small Canadian groups, on behalf of the Standards Council of Canada, serving on ISO committees. This international organization, based in Geneva, has membership from about 70 countries. Metric conversion affects virtually all our own work and further extends our responsibilities with all standards. We also serve on the Provincial Metric Construction Committee, to attempt to ensure a smooth transition from imperial dimensions. In addition, at the request of the Ministry concerned, we will provide assistance on the proposed pilot metric housing projects for the Province, which are arousing considerable interest. Separation of the duties of specification writing from those of research and building standards placed further strains upon the already inadequate staff resources. In the early part of the year, at least, the large staff allowed a certain degree of flexibility in task allotment. This enabled the combined Branch to meet the deadlines imposed by design project requirements. The split-up resulted in the Specification Branch having only two full-time specification writers available for writing project specifications. Staff shortages also caused the abandonment of any further development of the Ministry's master specification. It is also regrettable that time has not permitted the necessary amendment and upgrading of those parts of the master specification that had been completed. Endeavouring to meet requirements for project specifications has necessitated the employment of consultants. Further, for small and simple jobs other members of the architectural design groups have written specifications. In order to maintain good quality and elements of standardization we have had to expend considerable time educating and instructing these people, and checking their work. Again, lack of an adequate master specification has not allowed us to benefit fully from these methods. We have commenced preparation of a small works master specification, this will aid both consultants and other personnel writing specifications, including staff in operational services with whom we liaise not infrequently. Utilization of construction management techniques for in-house projects has tended to spread our work load for any one job over a greater time interval. However, it has been our experience that more total time is required due to the proliferation of contracts and the need for greater co-ordination between the construction trades involved in these various contracts. A considerable percentage of the work has been in the alteration, additions, renovation, or restoration fields, many involving small contracts, but the larger challenges of renovating and restoring such buildings as Victoria Law Courts and Revelstoke Courthouse have been ably met by the present staff. Further invaluable experience has been gained in performance specifying techniques; this form having been used to obtain an office furniture system; also in the development of design requirements for office buildings to be acquired under developer proposal methods. Pure forms of performance or prescriptive specifying are rare, most specifications contain elements of both. One method is the exact converse of the other, performance presents a statement of required results verifiable by stipulated criteria, while prescriptive states a required product or system without reference to the end results. Considerable time and effort continues to be spent by staff researching, analysing, and evaluating products and systems; additionally providing a technical advisory service on their correct application and use to persons from both inside and outside of the Ministry. J. C. Currie, A.R.I.C.S. Branch Head B 212 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF THE CHIEF GAS INSPECTOR The Gas Inspection Branch of the Safety Engineering Services Division has continued to maintain its high standard of enforcement and inspection services to the gas industry and public by further improvement in the field of liaison within the industry through increased numbers of meetings and seminars with trade personnel. Changes to the Gas Act and regulations have been formulated, but at this time have not been instituted, this is expected within the early part of the new fiscal year. The decentralization of the activities of the Branch throughout the Province by the formation of six regional areas has proven to be highly successful through the efforts of the Regional Supervisory Inspectors, by promoting the many meetings and seminars within their regions. During the year six explosions and seven fires were investigated (three of the fires were in schools and attributed to arson). There were no fatalities but two minor injuries were sustained through these incidents. A series of events in one area gave great concern regarding lack of combustion air in tightly constructed homes at higher altitudes, corrective measures were speedily and successfully taken. This problem is being further investigated in cooperation with other governing bodies. In most activities of the Branch there was generally an increase in the work load, despite a slowdown in construction and a decrease in the number of permits issued.

Study of the incident reports indicates the need for continued trade and public education in electrical safety. If by such continued programming lives can be saved, injuries prevented, or losses reduced, substantial benefits will accrue to the Provincial economy. The reported value of construction projects, as appearing in published information, totalled $1,600,245,000, or approximately 10 per cent above the value reported for the previous fiscal year. Considering the effect of inflation, the value indicates approximately the same building volume as the previous year. Applications for examination for certificates increased by 12.5 per cent; 762 examinations were held. Distribution of the examinations was: Class A Certificate of Competency 104 Class B Certificate of Competency 285 Class C Certificate of Competency 354 Projectionist 8 Other 11 Total 762 The number of Certificates of Competency as Electrical Contractors issued increased by 18.3 per cent. Distribution of certificates issued was: Class A— 724 Class B— 1,079 Class C— 1,354 Class RA— 11 Class RB— 33 Class RC— 270 735 1,112 1,624 Total certificates issued, 3,471 Continued stress was placed upon multiple use of permit and permit application forms. Multiple useage of permit forms, though creating some difficulty in comparing past years' permit issue to that of the current year, reduces the time required to issue permits and the time spent on clerical handling of the forms. The physical count of electrical permits issued totalled 75,632; a decrease of 4 per cent over the previous year. With a shift of emphasis to include education, and assumption by the installer of greater responsibility for the work he performed, a change in the activities of the inspectors was noted. Participation in technical seminars permitted a change in emphasis to occur. The number of inspections performed decreased by 7.4 per cent to 92,555. The total number of inspection requests received decreased by 3.1 per cent to 115,305. The number of sets of plans received for examination and approval rose by 40.5 per cent to 2,380. The number of applications for Provincial certification of electrical equipment rose 2,349; this represented a 56.7-per-cent increase over the previous year. The number of individual pieces of equipment labelled totalled 5,283. In addition, SAFETY ENGINEERING SERVICES DIVISION B 215 1,503 mobile homes and factory wired transportable structures were examined and approved. Fires and accidents investigated during the year totalled 125. Analysis of these incidents indicates the following: Fatalities (human) 3 Fatalities (animals) 1 Serious electrical burns 2 Serious shock from defective equipment 6 Shock from defective appliances Failure of equipment (no fire) _ Overhead line contact Fires— Attributed to human failing 2 8 1 2 Attributed to damaged wiring 11 Attributed of undetermined origin 8 Attributed to equipment failure 81 Total. 125 A.

HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS B 244 HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC WORKS REPORT, 1976/77 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICES (HIGHWAYS DIVISION) The following pages disclose in detail Ministerial (Highways Division) expenditures for the fiscal year 1976/77. The total gross expenditure of $279,435,182.74 for the period represents an increase of $52,660,066.43 or 23.2 per cent over the preceding fiscal period. The Highway Maintenance costs have increased 30.3 per cent over the preceding fiscal year, one third of which is due to the transfer of the Minor Coastal Ferries from B.C. Ferries Division under the Ministry of Energy, Transport and Communications to this Ministry effective April 1, 1976, with these costs for the period totalling approximately $9,300,000. Other maintenance increases are due to increased maintenance services, additional mileage maintained, and a general escalation of costs. Highway construction—Capital costs have increased 23.3 per cent over the preceding fiscal year which reflects a general escalation of construction costs rather than an accelerated capital program. S.
