| Glotman-Simpson Group of Companies receives Honourable Mention for March 2008
Honourable Mention for March 2008 goes to Glotman-Simpson Group of Companies of Vancouver, British Columbia, for the expansion of the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre.
In each edition of Canam Info-Tech, Honourable Mention is conferred upon a consulting engineering firm that resolved a complex problem at the project design stage, while making optimum use of Canam products and/or solutions. Other factors taken into consideration include adherence to the construction budget, alternative solutions that generate major cost savings, easier installation and simplified project coordination.
Glotman-Simpson Group of Companies called upon the expertise of Canam’s engineers for the Vancouver Convention Centre Expansion Project, which covers an area of 139,355 square metres (1,500,000 sq. ft.). They worked closely together during the planning and design stages of the project to establish the best construction methods, while making optimum use of Canam products.
This project required the fabrication of structural steel components, including bowstring and barrel joists and special bracing due to the unique shape of the building, which extends on three sides along the waterfront.
The joists were produced at Canam’s plant in Calgary, Alberta, and the steel deck at Canam’s Boucherville, Quebec, plant.
Congratulations to the Glotman-Simpson team for distinguishing themselves during the planning and design stages of this project.
