tural features include insulated precast panels, metal cladding, triple-glazed curtain wall system, Cross Lami- nated Timber (CLT) beams and Corten steel panels. The CLT panels have been integrated into the roof and exposed structural glulam members. Provided by Struc- turlam out of B.C., the CLT panels are composed of 50 per cent beetle-kill pine. Vu says this is the largest installation of CLT in North America with approximately 954,000 board feet required to complete the massive roof structure. “The product was manufactured off site and delivered in more than 35 truckloads in 52 ft. lengths, with each ship- ment weighing upwards of 55,000 lbs. The storing and handling of this material when it arrived on site was an enormous task.” Vu says the Corten steel panels inside and outside the building were also unique. “These needed to be “weath- ered outside” during the manufacturing phase. This allevi- ates the need for paint as they form a rust-like appearance when exposed to the elements.” He says this process took a long time (up to six or more months) to achieve the desired architectural “rusting” ap- pearance. Vu says the design also includes an acoustic wood fea- ture wall that separates the ‘land’ side and ‘air’ side. He says the patterning gives the terminal both a modern and Northern feel. The terminal has been designed to incorporate LEED principles for sustainability, including “natural daylighting through the use of the designed curtain wall system, pas- sive ventilation and heat recovery systems,” Vu said. “Also, the use of reclaimed CLT boosted the project’s recycled material content.” The terminal design includes four aircraft bridges, 13 brand-name retail and food outlets and two full-service restaurants. The overall master plan calls for a four-star hotel to open in 2016 and 1,267 acres of land to be made available for new commercial and light industrial development. The terminal has been funded in part by a $110 loan from the Alberta Capital Finance Authority. Strathcona Mechanical Limited (SML) emerged into the construction industry as part of an amalgamation with Fuller & Knowles Ltd. in 1982. This merger enabled the newly formed Strathcona Mechanical Limited to continue to provide quality and professional work within the industry combining; the extensive industry experience, knowledge, continued new technologies, state-of-the-art construction methods and integrity to each project. 6612 – 44 Street, Leduc, AB T9E 7E4 Phone: 780-980-1122 Fax: 780-980-1129 www.sml.ca The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Fall 2014 – 35
