DURATION

PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The surrounding soil has limited load capacity and the water table was almost ground level. To optimize construction costs, screw type piles were integrated in the design of the foundation and a fine tuned underground water drainage system installed.
The schedule was tightened to fit with the five months available for the on site construction.
In the design and planning of the project, we had to incorporate the presence, on the property, of a main gas pipeline right of way and crossing.
SERVICES RENDERED
Assistance in the feasibility study, the planning and the financing stages of the project.
Complete design of the facility, including architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical drawings and specifications.
Planning and design of the exterior civil works.
Execution of the works under a construction management mandate.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A 3 500-m² extension to an existing building, with all the usual amenities associated with an ice rink.
The sealed refrigeration system is energy efficient, generating heat usable for hot water, heating and deep ground frost prevention.
There are six player’s room and a second floor houses a multi-use training room, plus offices and a reception hall service bar.
A 280 car parking lot is one of the amenities and was, in part, built over an existing parking area that had to be redone entirely.
