Redevelopment at Trillium

Construction Update – Progress Report - September 4, 2007

Mississauga New Wing

This month, one of the last major foundation footings for the New Wing was poured. This footing will support the columns that will be seen at the north side of each floor’s Central Care Desk. Contractors also exposed existing water mains into the building to determine the location of the new connection. Work on the new service tunnel which will link the existing hospital to the New Wing Tower continued in August. The first section of main floor slab was poured in late August and the bottom reinforcement for the next section is underway. Once this work is completed, the upper layer of reinforcement will be placed. The next section of slab will be poured the first week of September.

Mississauga Renovations

On the Main Floor, minor removals and rough-in of mechanical & electrical services continue. A portion of the flooring surface requires shot blasting to clean the existing terrazzo floor. As a result, on August 20th, a new corridor parallel with the current corridor on the Main Floor was constructed. This has not impacted traffic flow. Window replacements on the Third Floor began this month and are expected to be completed by late September. The Second Floor roof removal work is also in progress. Cutting of the concreted roof slab is underway and a small portion will be removed in the coming weeks. Installations and wall framing are in progress on the Second Floor and the layout of the new area is beginning to take shape. Minor removals and rough-in of mechanical & electrical services continue on the Main Floor.

West Toronto

Significant progress was made this month with the completion of the demolition of the old administration and old main entrance areas. Following this, excavation and installation of footings and foundation members associated with the new build began. Roof slab reinforcement members installation was completed over the Surgicentre (Day Surgery) waiting area. Work is moving ahead on the first and second floor renovations portions of the project. As exterior work to the south entrance continues, caissons were completed in late August as per schedule. Demolition work on the Ground Floor is completed, while work on the Second Floor continues with boarding walls, framing drywall ceilings and taping.

Your support is much appreciated during this time.
