The BellCentre Apartments Courtyard Waterproofing project had many logistical challenges. Maintaining egress for renters, moving heavy machinery to and from elevated courtyards, identifying where post-tensioned steel cables where located in structural concrete slabs and keeping buildings weather tight during construction were just a few of the obstacles we faced during renovations. Our team persevered through this year-long endeavor and was able to deliver three fully waterproofed courtyards with new amenities tenants are sure to enjoy for years to come.
Our crew demolished existing Cast-in-Place concrete planters and installed new waterproofed concrete planter boxes with elevated IPE wooden tiles and concrete pavers over pedestals. As part of this project we also made modifications to the drainage system, steel trellis and removed / reset existing vinyl windows and sliding glass doors with new penetration flashings. Installation of James Hardie Fiber Cement at the courtyard and window perimeters was also completed during this time. In addition, new built-in BBQ stations were installed for resident use.
