Abstract
<p>Signature on the Saint Lawrence Construction (SSLC), a consortium comprised of SNC-Lavalin inc., Flatiron Constructors Canada, Dragados USA and EBC, is mandated to build the New Champlain Bridge Corridor Project (NCBCP). Significant challenges include:</p><ol><li> <p>Construction schedule: The Bridge must be in service by December 2018.</p></li><li> <p>Navigation restrictions: The Seaway traffic must be maintained during the main span’s construction.</p></li></ol><p>This paper discusses the following innovative construction methods used for the New Champlain Bridge (NCB):</p><ol><li> <p>A custom-built gantry to install the precast footings/pier starters in the river;</p></li><li> <p>The delivery system for the segments to the tip of the deck in the main span.</p></li></ol><p>These erection systems were developed and selected to suit the specific challenges of the project, including speed of construction, maintenance of shipping and environmental protection areas.</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
