CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION
Lebreton Flats Development in Ottawa
click to enlarge
Conducted site supervision on the northern section of the site, retained by the federal government for institutional uses of national significance (such as the Canadian War Museum), towards a 9 acre festival park, an 11 acre river-front open space, and other future federal facilities. Work that had been done included underground services, new streets, new buildings and new public open spaces.
CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION
Heritage adaptive re-use development in Krakow
click to enlarge
Conducted construction site supervision of the proposal that required a 75% demolition of the already existing residential building from which then would be erected a modern office building. The extended demolition required a steel support structure in order to support the remaining facades, underpinning the already existing foundation walls by means of jet grouting technology and replacing the existing wooden floors and brick walls by reinforced concrete structure. The high level of the underground water created many unexpected challenges during the different stages of the construction. The heritage façades were by these means restored, all the exterior materials were selected to be sensitive to the neighbourhood, but yet at the same time modern and of the highest standards.
