Two Storey Office Building - Collingwood

CCTA provided the structural design for a two storey office building to be constructed in Collingwood, Ontario. CCTA's structural department worked alongside the project architect, JH Rust Architects to optimize the structural components to produce an efficient and cost-effective design.

Features

• Two storey, 3,000 m² steel framed structure consisting of metal deck supported on open web steel joists, steel beams and columns.
• Structure is supported on conventional reinforced concrete footings.
• Building incorporates a reinforced concrete elevator shaft and stairwell to resist lateral forces thus eliminating the need for steel cross-bracing that would interfere with glazed curtainwall.

Water Treatment Plant Expansion - Innisfil

Originally designed by CCTA in 1994, growing needs for additional capacity necessitated the expansion of the existing water treatment plant. CCTA was awarded the contract for the expansion including the treatment facility, maintenance garage and office space. The structural department worked alongside CCTA's environmental engineers to design a functional, cost-effective facility, integrated with the existing water treatment plant.

Features

• Treatment facility expansion included the design of below-grade, reinforced concrete contact clarification filters, installation of 5 new granular activated contact tanks, and design of two storey, steel framed structure above the clarification filters.
• Design of single storey, steel framed addition to the existing office and maintenance garage areas.
• Integration of existing structure with construction of addition, including removal, temporary storage and reuse of existing precast wall panels to reduce project cost.

Collingwood Public Library

The new three storey Collingwood Public Library, designed by WGD Architects, will be a steel-framed building located in the downtown’s historic district.  The exterior elevations thus blend in with the architectural flavour of the area, enclosing a modern, functional interior.  The Leed platinum design includes a green roof.

CCTA provided the civil and structural design.  Working closely with the architect, we were able to optimize the design, resulting in a tendered cost significantly under the pre-tender budget

Features

• Three storey, steel frame with hollow core slab floors.  Lateral  loads resisted by reinforced concrete elevator and stair shafts.
• Leed Platinum design including green roof.
• Third floor to be Municipal offices initially, but designed for library stack live loads.

Three Storey Apartment Building - Peterborough

This three storey apartment building was recently designed by Ronald Awde Architect.  CCTA provided the civil and structural design for this building, which consists of reinforced masonry shear walls and hollow core flood slabs.

Features

• Reinforced masonry shear walls to resist lateral loads.
• Light steel roof trusses.
• Approximately 2,300 m² on three floors.
