EXPO CENTRE REHABILITATION PROJECT

EDMONTON, ALBERTA

ARCHITECTS: ACI ARCHITECTURE

CLIENT: CITY OF EDMONTON

LARGEST SOLAR ROOFTOP IN CANADA

The rehabilitation project requires the completion of over 100 separate workscopes spanning over eight different conference halls and three common spaces totally $28,000,000 in work. Each workscope has a primary discipline but any modification to the existing building will cause interdependencies to other disciplines. The significant size of the existing building, number of workscopes and people involved is a major risk to being inefficient and non-Lean. Eng-Spire, as the structural engineers with likely the smallest scope on the project, took on a lead role in trying to provide a way to efficiently document all of the information required for the project and make it useful through Validation, Preconstruction, Construction and even after the project is complete for the City of Edmonton’s use. Using Bluebeam Studio as a cloud based shared platform, Eng-Spire is developing a master document to track all of the site investigation photos and notes on plan. This tool will allow anyone to find any given workscope geodetically and see all the relevant information to that work scope throughout the project.
