Historique
The Construction Branch has its origins in the office of the Chief Engineer of Construction, a position which was established within Engineering Branch of the Ontario Department of Highways in 1948. In 1955, the title of Chief Engineer of Construction was changed to Construction Engineer, and in 1956, the office of the Construction Engineer was renamed the Construction Division. From 1956 to 1969, the Construction Division formed a part of the Operations Branch within the Ontario Department of Highways. In 1969, however, the name of the Division was changed to the Construction Office. In 1971, when the Ontario Department of Highways was merged with the Ontario Department of Transport to form the Ontario Department (and later Ministry) of Transportation and Communications, the name of the office was again changed, this time to the Construction Branch.
Between 1971 and 1976, the Construction Branch consisted of several different offices, including: an Executive Section, the Construction Office, the Contract Control Office, and the Materials and Testing Office (renamed the Quality Control Office in 1974). The Branch also consisted of a number of Structural Inspection Engineers.
The Construction Branch was succeeded in 1976 by the Design and Construction Branch.
