On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave me … 11 buildings!
With MTE’s extensive experience in a variety of design types—ranging from precast concrete and wood construction to cast-in-place concrete, concrete masonry, cold-formed steel, structural steel, and beyond—we’re equipped to handle a wide spectrum of projects.
The technical expertise and experience of our structural engineering team frequently takes projects beyond the realm of conventional building design. This includes engineering services for unique and specific building types as well as specialized building complexities.
Whether it’s a high-rise residential building or a complex industrial structure, MTE has the expertise and capabilities to ensure that every project is designed to be safe, durable, and resilient.
Explore a variety of MTE’s structural projects:
Birchmount Green
The Birchmount Green Condominium, situated at 1236 Birchmount Road, Scarborough, is a newly developed residential building designed to cater to low- and moderate-income households, providing 220 new rental homes that include a mix of affordable and supportive housing options.
MTE was proud to provide civil and structural engineering services for the development of Birchmount Green.
Civic 66
Civic 66 is an 11-storey, mixed-use structure that brings 170 residential units to Kitchener’s entertainment district. The building features a central courtyard, underground parking, fitness facilities and pet spa.
Our civil engineering team initially joined the project to complete the grading, servicing, and stormwater management design for the site, which included maintaining and incorporating the two heritage buildings on the site. Our structural team also provided structural engineering services for both the apartment building and the heritage house.
Gaslight Condos
MTE played a multifaceted role in the Gaslight District project, providing structural and building engineering services. MTE was involved in the renovation, partial demolition, and redevelopment of existing buildings in Cambridge and in the design and construction of two residential towers on the site. Our team’s involvement also extended to the proposed Gaslight Residential Towers F and G, featuring a 5-storey precast parking structure with approximately 270 parking spaces and a gross area of about 24,296 m2. The team provided detailing of the waterproofing system and diligently reviewed the application to ensure compliance and efficiency.
Circa 1877
Situated in Uptown Waterloo, Circa 1877 is a total precast condominium with ties to Waterloo’s past. Having previously been home to one of Canada’s first craft brewers from 1984 to 2015, the site has been granted heritage status. The 20-storey tower includes six parking levels, 14 residential levels, one mechanical penthouse level, street-level retail and a second-floor urban brew pub with a patio.
We first joined the project team to provide environmental expertise related to redeveloping the site. Our civil engineers also contributed to the early phases of the project by completing a Functional Servicing Report, identifying how the site would be serviced, including water, sanitary, and storm connections to existing municipal infrastructure. Our structural engineers joined the team to complete the design of the 20-storey tower. We also completed a Designated Substance Audit in advance of the demolition and renovation work to identify and mitigate risk for workers at the site during construction activities.
Thanks to the hard work of the entire project team, this project was awarded the 2021 Ontario Concrete Award for Mid to High Rise Residential: Precast.
Illumina Condos
Soon to be an eye-catching addition to Burlington’s Skyline, Illumina will stand tall as a 22-storey, 175,000 ft2 residential tower designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects, with structural engineering services provided by MTE. The development is located just steps away from the City’s vibrant waterfront at 500 Brock Avenue and features a prominent glass and concrete façade that also incorporates elements of wood at podium level.
Rogers Centre
The Toronto Blue Jays began renovations of the Rogers Centre arena to enhance the experience of baseball go-ores. The renovation aimed to enhance the lower bowl seating with extra legroom, modern seats featuring slatted backs for improved airflow, wider spacing between dugouts, strategically placed cupholders, adjustable armrests, and handrails in every aisle.
MTE was proud to provide structural engineering services for the Roger’s Centre Phase II and III Renovation. Our structural team provided the structural design of the Cold Formed Metal (CFS) framing for the lower bowl renovations of phase II.
Our structural team continues to provide structural engineering services as phase III renovation of the arena continues.
The Well
Nestled in the vibrant core of Toronto’s west district, The Well stands as one of Canada’s most anticipated premier mixed-use projects. Encompassing prime real estate along Front, Spadina, and Wellington Street, its visionary design incorporates 1.1 million square feet of office space, 500,000 square feet of retail and dining establishments, and a collection of 1,700 residential units across six interconnected buildings, all anchored by a dynamic three-level retail hub.
MTE provided structural steel framing engineering services for The Well’s mixed-use development including areas of the Market Hall and Condominiums.
Jungbunlauer Food Processing Plant
Jungbunzlauer is a producer of biodegradable products created from renewable raw materials. The manufacturer operates a food processing plant in Port Colborne, and when they were met with growing global demand, they set out to expand this facility with the help of our team.
We supported this expansion project with civil and structural engineering expertise throughout the design and construction of the 735-m2 power plant.
Lambton College Outdoor Indigenous Centre
Lambton College is currently undertaking the creation of an Indigenous outdoor space as part of their Indigenous Academic & Student Success Plan. The intention behind this purpose-built structure is to honor Indigenous world views and cultural practices while providing a secure and empowering space for Indigenous learners to come together and engage in cultural events, ceremonies and storytelling sessions. MTE is providing the structural design of the 1,500-ft2 gathering area, as well as the accompanying slab-on-grade support building.
Mercedes-Benz Queensway
As the first immersive Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG®, and Mercedes-Benz Vans brand center in North America, the 135,000-square-foot facility offers a unique destination for customers, featuring state-of-the-art architecture and advanced technologies. Our structural team was responsible for the structural design of the building, including the design of the cold form steel elements of the structure. In addition to the structural design, MTE handled the review of shop drawings, conducted structural reviews, and provided regular site visits to monitor progress and ensure quality.
Bluewater Health Hospital Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP)
Bluewater Health Hospital in Sarnia, Ontario, has made significant strides in improving energy efficiency across its facility. Recent upgrades include the modernization of the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, the installation of advanced thermal wheels, and the implementation of a state-of-the-art ventilation system for the hospital’s operating rooms.
A major highlight of these improvements is the new Bluewater Health Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant. Powered by a natural gas engine, this plant is projected to reduce the hospital’s energy consumption by approximately 60%, translating to annual savings of nearly half a million dollars.
MTE is proud to have provided structural engineering services for the development of the CHP plant at Bluewater Health Hospital, supporting the facility’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.
