The Parliament Hill Centre Block rehabilitation is the largest heritage restoration project in Canadian history. The home of the nations democratic institutions (including the House of Commons and Senate chambers) has been converted into a massive construction site.
Listen and discuss with our speakers who include Justin Houle (Project Superintendent) and William Coleman (Structural Lead) from the joint venture of PCL and EllisDon as they explore the unique challenges of this multi-year project including:
- Developing a new underground visitors centre;
- Modernizing the existing structure to meet modern seismic and functional requirements;
- Temporarily dismantling the buildings foundation and supporting the structure with hundreds of piles and jacks, as 90,000 cu. m. of bedrock are excavated below;
- A seventh floor addition; and
- A glass roof!
