MTE's Involvement
Our civil engineering team was engaged to lay the groundwork for the infrastructure that supported the new location on Canon Street East, which was previously occupied by an unused single-storey building. After the former structure was demolished, our team completed a topographic survey of the site, which supported the design of the site’s grading, servicing, and stormwater management requirements.
Our structural engineers were entrusted with designing the two-storey structure, which used a combination of structural steel bracing and reinforced concrete shear walls for lateral stability. Equipped with an accessible entrance, the facility was designed to offer a variety of spaces for medical examinations, counselling, and support groups. The second floor featured a vibrant community courtyard and was cantilevered 12 feet over the parking lot’s sidewalk.
MTE is proud to have played a role in bringing this essential facility to the community and were excited to see the impact it would have in Hamilton.
