Project Overview The purpose of this project is to: - determine the extent and causes of any deterioration of the 7 storey exterior walls below the 7 storey tower of the Dominion Public Building - rectify the situation and repair the damages to all walls, wall components, envelope components and structural systems such that the building continues to adequately house federal tenants. - prepare a maintenance program for the masonry walls and wall components; To accomplish the above, the successful consultants will review all previous reports and records of repairs to the building; perform their own investigations using non-destructive and destructive methods as required; perform an analysis of the monitoring, testing and repairs needed on all elevations and for all conditions of deterioration of the building envelope and its components; and deliver their findings in report form.
Following review and approval by PWGSC, consultants will be asked to provide any monitoring and testing required, and finally to provide tender documents, site services and commissioning services for any needed repair projects. Note that investigations into the cause of component failure in the walls may lead to investigations of roofing, flashings and materials.
This project requires a conservation approach by a multi-disciplinary team with a full understanding of the building. The team will share a common understanding of heritage values and goals and will be committed to a co-operative and unrestricted information sharing. All repair work will follow the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.
