MTE's Involvement
MTE was pleased to offer structural engineering services for phase 1 and phase 2 of the King City Animal Hospital.
For Phase 1 of the hospital, MTE provided cold form steel (CFS) design into the structure’s shop drawings.
For phase 2 of the project, MTE provided all structural components for the four structures, including the Operations Garage, Manure Storage, Hay Storage and Dog Boarding Facility (DBF). This consisted of steel framing for the Hay Storage and DBF, wood framing for all structures, suspended concrete slabs for the DBF and Operations Garage which had basements. The Hay Storage, Operations Garage and portions of the DBF required helical pile designs because of the soil conditions.
MTE has also worked alongside several different companies to ensure the structure is complete as per our client Cumulus Architects Inc’s request, which include Timber manufacturers for the exposed wood trusses in the Hay Storage and Operations Garage and the Cupola on top of the DBF.
MTE has conducted multiple site visits and reports to ensure procedures and guidelines are being followed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code and PEO guidelines. Our team was proud to partner with our client and work together to bring this much needed facility to life.
