The Gordie Howe Bridge project is one of the most complex and high-profile land acquisition and relocation projects in the United States due to the size and nature of the acquisitions. Egis’s innovative and thoughtful approach to this project facilitated merging acquisition and demolition activities, streamlining, and expediting related tasks. As a result, acquisitions were completed ahead of schedule, and demolition schedules were compressed by more than 50 percent, resulting in significant budget reductions. Egis modified the demolition business process to compress the time from possession to demolition from 150 days to an average of 27 days.
