Hospital in Ottawa

In Ottawa, our concrete workers restored part of the hospital’s building envelope, removing deteriorated concrete and applying a repair mortar. This material restores surface defects, enhances aesthetics, rebuilds structural strength, and ensures the long-term durability of the structure. The concrete restoration work included the building façade, structural columns, precast panels, and concrete curbs.

The formwork and precast work involved several critical steps: preparing and leveling the existing surfaces, installing custom formwork for the repair areas and reinstating sidewalks. This hybrid approach ensured both the strength and durability of the structure. The repair work on the precast components ensured a uniform and consistent finish.

A cement parge coat was applied over the entire concrete curb surface. This high-performance cement mixture creates a vital protective barrier against harsh weather and water infiltration, particularly important in a hospital environment where durability is key. Specifically formulated for concrete, this product offers superior adhesion and enhanced resistance to Ottawa’s freeze-thaw cycles. The uniform application of the coating extends the structure’s lifespan while providing a smooth, professional finish.

Our team delivered comprehensive masonry restoration services while the hospital remained fully operational. The scope included precision glass block removal and reinstallation, and we systematically removed and replaced deteriorated masonry units with matching materials to maintain the building’s uniformity. Damaged parging was stripped away and replaced with fresh protective coating, restoring the envelope’s weather resistance. The result is a restored exterior that will serve the facility for decades to come.
