Tatham provided engineering services for Cookstown Petro-Canada Travel Centre – a comprehensive gas station and truck stop with amenities including a trucker lounge area with showers, a full-size restaurant, a large convenience store, electric car charging stations, and a fenced dog park.

Located on Highway 89 in Innisfil, the travel centre is conveniently beside Highway 400 – a common route for travellers headed to and from Muskoka cottage country.

The project scope included regrading the site by importing over a meter of fill. Due to restrictions with the new interchange at Highway 400, additional land to the west was purchased to satisfy the requirements by the MTO to provide an acceptable entrance/exit off Highway 89.

Civil design work included the installation of a retaining wall along the dry pond, storm sewers, structures, connection to municipal water, fire protection, parking lot, subdrains, sanitary sewers and forcemain, and coordination for an on-site sewage treatment plant.

With the concurrent design and construction of a new interchange at Highways 89 and 400, Tatham worked closely with the Town of Innisfil, NVCA, County of Simcoe, and the Ministry of Transportation to ensure compliance to both municipal and provincial standards.
