MTE's Involvement
MTE was proud to support the development of the Tom Patterson Theatre in Stratford, Ontario, by delivering a suite of multidisciplinary engineering services—including surveying, geotechnical, environmental, civil, structural, and building science expertise.
Our involvement began with our Survey team preparing a detailed reference plan for the site. Simultaneously, our Geotechnical team conducted materials testing and environmental testing to assess site conditions and ensure safe, sustainable development.
To support the project’s LEED certification goals, our Indoor Environments team performed Indoor Air Quality Sampling in line with LEED Credit IEQ 3.2 requirements and carried out risk assessments to promote a healthy indoor environment for occupants.
Given the site’s proximity to the Avon River, our Civil team developed a site plan that included floodplain mapping and analysis to ensure the theatre’s location would not be impacted by potential flooding. The team also designed and coordinated the relocation of a municipal sanitary sewer to accommodate the new development.
Our Environmental team led multi-phase environmental site assessments and designated substance audits and also provided hydrogeological consulting services to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and minimize the project’s environmental impact.
More recently, our Structural team provided the structural design of RTU Safety Frames required for the Theatre.
This collaboration of disciplines across MTE highlights our ability to deliver integrated solutions that support complex projects.
