Recently, Jen Hancock, our Vice President of Collaborative Construction, sat down with Business in Edmonton Magazine to talk about her 17-year-long career in the construction industry and where she thinks we’re heading. “Chandos will continue to evolve our technology and expertise as a socially conscious company, knowing the importance of focusing on climate change and sustainability.” As the first female board chair of the Edmonton Construction Association in its 90-year history, she brings a fresh perspective.

In Cochrane, Alberta, our team completed remediation work on a 7,000 sq. ft. spray park. In partnership with our in-house aquatics and recreation experts, the team investigated a pre-existing leak and then installed new piping, an electrical bonding grid, rebar, and poured a new concrete slab. The project timeline was less than two months, which included testing to determine the extent of the broken lines and the repair work. The team saved the main drains and associated work with precision concrete cutting, using most of the original imbedded anchors, saving time and cost. Let’s partner on your next project: https://lnkd.in/e3SmN2Mh #AlbertaConstruction #Remediation SLS Centre

The new 11,000 sq. ft. emergency wing at Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital is expected to enhance infection control standards and patient care. The original facility was built in 1955, and we worked with the hospital and Parkin Architects to build the slab-on-grade addition, which includes a waiting room, triage area, 11 treatment centres, a central nurse and physician station, and a new ambulance bay that leads to the major trauma and decontamination room.

Civil construction is what keeps communities moving, water flowing, the lights on, and every conceivable structure operational. From coast to coast, we use a collaborative approach to deliver critical infrastructure and open spaces to large and small communities, nationwide. the City of Grand Forks BC, experiences annual high-water levels due to seasonal rain. Our civil team partnered with the municipality to think about climate resistance differently and prevent flooding affecting the 2,700 sq. ft. Shoreline using concrete, sheet pile, earth barriers, and stormwater pumps to divert water flow away from homes and businesses.

Last week, Mayor Olivia Chow and City Councillor James Pasternak joined Fadi Shlah P.Eng., Business Development Director at Chandos, and the rest of our team for the soil turn at Centennial Library. The original library was opened in 1966 and served the North York community as a place to learn, engage, and gather. In 2019, the City of Toronto started community consultation for the future of the facility. Construction will start with demolition and remodeling the 15,000 sq. ft. facility to accommodate the redesign. Upgrades include a new floor layout to enhance collaboration, expanded book zones for readers of all levels, increasing the footprint of the library with an outdoor courtyard, and an increased number of washrooms with an added family washroom.

In the Okanagan Valley, a new 26,000 sq. ft. school is being built, and once it's complete it will serve the 2000+ person Okanagan Nation. Elders and consultants designed the single-storey OKIB Cultural Immersion School, prioritizing making an inclusive learning environment for students to embrace the Sqilxw language and culture. Once our work is complete, the wood frame building will include 12 classrooms, a library, kitchen, cafeteria, gymnasium, administration offices, cultural spaces, and an outdoor play area and sports field. Recently, Okanagan Indian Band Elders and community leaders came to check out the progress. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eDREq-uM Partners: Iredale Architecture #BCConstruction #IndigenousConstruction

A building that will serve Edmonton's most vulnerable population is taking shape in the downtown core. Boyle Street Community Services has been providing shelter and support to Edmontonians for over 50 years, and once the new okimaw peyesew kamik (King Thunderbird Centre) is complete, it will help expand their reach. Pete Wardell, Business Development Director at Chandos, spoke with Edmonton Construction Association about the project. When asked about how the new facility ties into our purpose, he said, “Our purpose is to build a better world. What we mean by that is, there’s much more to our business than bricks and mortar. It’s contributing to the built environment in a way that serves the occupants of the building, and you could say that this project is the epitome of that purpose.” Read more on page 58: https://lnkd.in/gEwEc28V Partners: HSEA, Beljan Development #AlbertaConstruction #PurposeDriven

Aspen Beach was the first official Provincial Park in Alberta and it offers year-round recreation. Our Red Deer team partnered with Alberta Environment And Parks to upgrade the campground facilities and aging infrastructure. Using a three phased approach, our team delivered a new boardwalk and bridge, a new dump station, shower facilities, and floating dock. The team also refurbished campgrounds and trails, dredged the boat launch area, and upgraded three lakeview campground shelters. To prioritize wetland protection, our team completed a wetland assessment to find ecological significance and mark off exclusion zones. The team also installed barriers and fencing to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation from harming wetland vegetation during construction.

The new 16,000 sq. ft. Indigo flagship store in The Well offers everything from books and stationery to toys. Our Toronto team performed a complete tenant fit-out, which involved installing structural steel, steel stud framing, drywalling, rough and finish carpentry, painting, flooring, and life safety systems. Originally, the project design had millwork placed at 13 ft and 16 ft high, which was flagged using building information modelling (BIM) as a potential issue in meeting structural requirements. By working with our consultants, we found that the Unitstrut system selected would allow the design to stay at the original heights without changes. Although there was a significant amount of planning, it avoided rework and turned out to be the most cost-effective solution.
