Aluminum platform
Commissioning of Equipment Platforms in Horgan WTP
PROF&E Consulting Engineers has been approached by Alpeza General Contracting to produce shop drawings for aluminum access platforms to 8 raw water pumps and valves in Horgan WTP. Upon review of construction documents provided by the City of Toronto and after field measurements, some major conflicts with the existing equipment, piping and floor drains have been discovered. Fortunately, our team was engaged before any fabrication started, so we were able to work with Apollo Metals and the City of Toronto on the re-design of the access platforms to make layout and details less complicated and more cost efficient. Despite complicated geometry of the pumps and Raw Water Pump Room, our design-build approach resulted in number of savings to the contractor and made installation easier while maintaining full functionality of the platforms.

Leslie SPS
During construction of the major upgrade of the existing sewage pumping station, our team worked both with ASCO Construction and W.A. Stephenson Mechanical on a design of lifting devices for installation of various process equipment and a design of shaft and pump supports for 2 new sewage pumps. In addition to the work related to new pumps, we have also carried out condition assessment and rehabilitation design of concrete suports for 4 existing pumps.

Lorne Park WTP & Jack Darling Park SPSs
After 7 years of construction, including warranty period, a major upgrade at the Lorne Park WTP reached final completion. Our team coordinated construction activities between 4 different contractors in an area smaller than 25 hectares.
In order to respect individual construction areas while providing site access for all contracts, our team had to constantly produce innovative ways to keep either time or space separation between contractors.

Steel Pipe Support Design for Water Mains
The original structural concept of the water main under the bridge (that was provided in tender documents) had some fatal flaws. After presenting concerns to the owner and their consulting team, PROF&E's engineers developed a solution that reduced construction cost, reduced reactions on the existing bridge and controlled movement of the main within 25 mm.
The proposed solution was implemented this summer and the main successfully passed pressure test this September.

(NEW) Steel Thrust Supports for High-Pressure Mains
Concrete thrust blocks in valve chambers, pumping stations and water / wastewater plants could be a history. Our patented steel thrust supports are much easier to install, less expensive, they require less real estate, and they could be removed if needed.
Call us and we will provide you with all necessary details for your project.

Low Pressure Injection Repairs using Epoxy Resin
After conclusive evidence by TTC that the topping slab has not bonded to the substrate concrete in all areas as specified, PROF&E engineers were engaged to examine field conditions and develop a solution that will eliminate a need for complete demolition of topping slab at TTC Spadina Station, Streetcar Platform.
The structural repair work was successfully completed in less than 5 months, including approvals by TTC. It involved low-pressure epoxy injection that "stitched" topping together with the base concrete slab, The ultimate product exceeded specified bond criteria.
