AIRPORT UPGRADE CELEBRATES THE PRAIRIE LANDSCAPE

Steel blends old and new structures, while providing speed and cost-savings - Brandon Municipal Airport, Manitoba
|
| |
“The original airport was largely underused, but Brandon had a major commercial airline that was going to be using the facility. It needed to be upgraded to modern standards,” recalled Damien Fenez, principal architect. “The flights began before the construction began.”
The $8.4 million project was completed between 2014-17 in three phases to minimize disruption to the airport’s customers, crew and staff.
Phase one entailed construction of an 864 square metre addition to the east of the existing 500 square metre terminal. In phase two, the original terminal was renovated. The final phase of construction joined the new and old sections, an operation which was accomplished in one night so as to have zero impact on daily operations.

A NEW SEASON OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION

Light Steel Frame Construction Delivers Precision, Efficiency and Savings - Seasons Retirement Residence, Cambridge, Ontario
|
| |
Located in a heritage neighbourhood in Cambridge, Ontario, the new Seasons retirement residence looks like it belongs. Stone and brick clad the bottom two floors, reflecting the architecture and scale of the street. Above, the tower that rises from the podium is a lighter, more modern stucco. But don your x-ray glasses to look beyond the exterior cladding and you’ll see the structure inside the eight-storey building is even more modern—light steel frame construction (LSF).
Light gauge steel is proving to be a logical and efficient way to build many projects. The ease of assembling a ready-made structure combined with the significant savings this approach allows makes light steel frame construction a no-brainer.
