333 Sherbourne: Parking Facility Strengthening
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Owner: Unity Health Toronto (UH)
Specialty Contractor: PULLMAN
PULLMAN and Tstrata strengthened a six-level medical facility by reinforcing the 5th- and 6th-floor slabs with minimal disruption, safely upgrading the structure to meet current building codes while the building remained occupied.
PROJECT DETAILS
A six-level medical facility was undergoing significant internal renovations to add new patient rooms on the 5th and 6th floors. To support the increased loads, it was necessary to reinforce the existing structure.
PULLMAN, in collaboration with Tstrata, developed a comprehensive strengthening solution. To minimize disruption in the occupied building, all repairs were carried out from the 5th and 6th floors.
Using a combination of strengthening technologies, including Tstrata’s CSS V-Wrap™ System, PULLMAN reinforced the floor slabs. These technologies proved successful in this limited access environment. To reduce disruption, PULLMAN also prioritized dust protection, noise considerations, and means-and-methods evaluation. The project was completed safely on schedule, successfully upgrading the structure to meet current building codes.
