Bernie Morelli Recreation Centre
876 Cannon St E, Hamilton
The Bernie Morelli Recreation Centre posed a distinctive challenge in connection design, subjecting vital structural elements to substantial moment and shear loads. Our team excelled by designing custom and intricate steel-to-steel connections, carefully considering on-site installation challenges and spatial limitations, caused by Architectural finishes on both the interior and exterior shells of the building. Furthermore, the design incorporated long-span truss systems, inducing significant torsion loads in key primary steel components, necessitating additional reinforcement and intricate support reaction analysis. Our comprehensive approach ensures structural integrity in even the most demanding conditions with this project being one of the many examples.
