Abstract
<p>The cable-stayed bridge for the New Champlain Bridge Project (the “Project”) is the signature crossing. The asymmetrical structure features a 124 m back span and a 240 m main span. The 170 m high single-pylon consists of a tuning-fork configuration of twin masts. Inclined concrete tower legs and “W” shaped steel pier caps supporting the deck define the unique aesthetics of this bridge.</p><p>The focus of this paper is to provide a detailed description of the bridge including a discussion of the superstructure, main span tower, supporting piers and cable-stay system. It also describes the erection techniques used. Working alongside the Contractor, the design team made innovative use of pre-casting, modular segments, and non-traditional erection sequencing to meet the Project’s fast-track schedule of only 42 months, while overcoming the severe winters in Montréal.</p>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
