Area Risk Assessment for Ship-source Oil Spills in Canada

Transport Canada required a method to assess the risk of ship-source oil spills in Canadian waters. While oil spills are unlikely, Transport Canada needed a methodology to assess the risk posed by future projects and potential growth in marine traffic. Dillon led the development of an Area Risk Assessment (ARA) Methodology that determined the probable locations and volumes of ship-source oil spills, where the spills would travel and what would likely be impacted by the oil.

Gardiner Expressway Waterfront Renewal - Toronto, ON

Gardiner Expressway Waterfront Renewal - Toronto, ON

The Gardiner Expressway is a municipal expressway serving traffic in downtown Toronto running close to Lake Ontario’s shoreline.  Sections of the highway date back to the 1950s. Starting in the 2000s, urban renewal around the Expressway intensified and extensive repairs to the decades-old highway infrastructure became necessary. As a result, Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto jointly undertook a major Individual Environmental Assessment (EA) and Urban Design Study to determine the future of the eastern portion of the Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard (from approximately Lower Jarvis Street to Leslie Street). Dillon was the lead consultant on this project.
