Bus Shelters in Edmonton
In practice, Prairie sites face wide diurnal temperature swings (about 40 °C in 24 hours is routine), so glazing seals must remain compliant from -40 °C to +35 °C. Edmonton procurements typically run through Alberta Purchasing Connection (APC), with proposals citing NBCC 2020 loads and Alberta Building Code conformance, plus footing-depth stamping matched to the 2. 4 m municipal frost line. Across 2000 Edmonton shelters, the 205-route Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) network drives where high-volume bay spec gets prioritised.
