about this project

Structural engineering design of the 77,000 sq. ft. recreation complex.

• Design of long span open web steel trusses over the pool area to support the roof structure
  
• Structural system featuring 1.5-metre-deep glulam beams to support the entrance atrium roof structure
  
• Recreation complex features an eight-lane swimming pool, a leisure and therapeutic pool, two full gymnasiums, a fitness and cardio centre, multi-purpose rooms, a lighted sports field with artificial turf, and an outdoor skate park
• Worked in tandem with the architect and other design professionals to complete the structural design and receive all appropriate permits and approvals

about this project

Structural design of a new single-storey fire station in the Town of Caledon, classified as a post-disaster building under the Ontario Building Code.

• Structural system combining steel braced frames and reinforced concrete masonry shear walls as the lateral force-resisting system
  
• Supported on reinforced concrete foundations, requiring careful consideration of system compatibility and load transfer
• 1,392.64 m² total gross floor area on an 8,110.7 m² site

about this project

Structural engineering design of reinforced concrete, steel, and wood-framed additions integrated with the existing fire station facilities for the Town of Caledon.

• Post-disaster climatic loading criteria applied throughout the design
  
• Value engineering implemented to maintain the Town of Caledon's cost constraints
  
• Weekly coordination meetings and frequent on-site assessments with the Architect, Mechanical, and Electrical consultants
  
• Design carefully sequenced to avoid any disruption to daily emergency operations at the fire stations

about this project

Structural and civil engineering design for the expansion and renovation of the Caledon Senior Centre, connecting it to the adjacent Community Centre for Recreation and Wellness.

• Reinforced concrete foundations, reinforced masonry block walls, and steel-framed roof structure
  
• Budget-conscious design implemented to meet the Town of Caledon's cost constraints
  
• Weekly coordination meetings and frequent on-site assessments with the Architect, Mechanical, Electrical, Landscape, and Fire Safety Consultants
• Design carefully sequenced to avoid disruption to daily operations at both facilities throughout construction

about this project

Structural Structural engineering design services using wood framing, reinforced concrete, masonry, and steel for the Mahamevnawa Monastery.

• Wood-sheathed shear walls as part of the lateral load support system, with an extended wood-framed canopy designed to support pre-engineered trusses
  
• Design accommodated a large open meditation room and the support of a 1,200 lb statue
  
• Open communication maintained between the owner and architect to ensure the design met the needs of the congregation
  
• Value engineering implemented to deliver a budget-friendly design within the Monastery's congregational cost constraints
• Alternative wood/concrete hybrid structure developed to meet the client's time and cost constraints
