Scope of work:
The work involves structurally solidifying the masonry in the corner of the building between floors 5 to 10 as well as targeted restoration of the masonry in this section. The project consists of:
- Removal of the stones
- Treatment of the steel structure.
- Reinstallation of the existing, restored and new stones.
- Copper roofing repair works.
Impact & mitigation
The renovation of the Rockefeller Wing Tower is being closely monitored with other works in this area including Royal Victoria Hospital and City of Montreal works on University Street. The mobilization has been established to ensure the work is carried out in accordance with best practices.
Access:
- Accessibility to the Neuro entrances including the ambulance鈥檚 will be always maintained and flagmen will be directing pedestrian and car traffic at critical times. A mobilization plan has been developed by the contractor to ensure that street access is never blocked and aligned with the work across the street following City of Montreal requirements.
Noise:
- The scaffolding assembly, stone removal and replacement, and steel treatment works may generate some noise. The exterior walls directly affected by the work are the staircase鈥檚 walls; therefore, not directly impacting the inside activities. However, noisy operations will be carried out in coordination with the Neuro activities to minimize the noise reverberation inside adjacent areas of the building.
Safety considerations:
- Demolition work will generate dust. Therefore, dust-containment methods such as setting up enclosures to isolate the work areas on the scaffolding, protection of adjacent windows and other wall openings will be implemented. Also, when required, specialized vacuuming equipment will be used.
- Pedestrian walkways next to the work area will be protected.
