The Pattullo Bridge Replacement is a major infrastructure project improving safety and connectivity between Surrey and New Westminster.
Led by Transportation Investment Corporation and built by Fraser Crossing Partners (Acciona and Aecon), this project supports local employment through British Columbia’s Community Benefits Agreement and B.C. Infrastructure Benefits.
Airfoam has completed all EPS shipments required for access routes to the new Pattullo Bridge, including installations for the Old Yale Road overpass and offramp. The remaining materials will support final phases of roadwork and multi-use pathway construction.
Airfoam Contribution
Airfoam’s lightweight Geofoam blocks are a key engineering solution on this project, used to reduce settlement, stabilize slopes, and provide load distribution across challenging terrain. Over 650 truckloads of EPS Geofoam are being supplied - 80% installed on the Surrey side, supporting approaches from King George Boulevard and the Old Yale Road overpass, and 20% on the New Westminster side, aiding off-ramps and multi-use pathways.
Airfoam’s design team worked closely with engineers to model seismic resistance, incorporating shear keys and lateral stability strategies into the EPS layouts. We also supported onsite installation with training and technical guidance to ensure optimal placement and long-term performance.
