Sitting adjacent to the Lakeshore East GO Train rail line, the MODO Condos development required a crash wall to protect against potential train derailments. Due to track clearance constraints, structural shotcrete was proposed to allow for the use of formwork with reduced bracing and space requirements.

CSI placed over 24,000 sq. ft. (1,300 m³) of structural shotcrete for the foundation and interior walls. This work featured 600 mm thick, heavily reinforced GFRP walls, utilizing a low-activation shotcrete mix designed for the cyclotron and MRI facilities.

Over 20 working days, CSI placed more than 21,000 sq. ft. (750 m³) of structural shotcrete walls for the newly added below-grade clubhouse and amenity spaces, and to support the precast slabs for the new 100-level seating of the Rogers Centre.

CSI placed structural shotcrete for over 10,000ft2 of exterior foundation walls for the new commercial office building. Structural shotcrete was placed against wood shoot panels and provided a smooth and consolidated surface for the application of post-applied waterproofing.

CSI installed over 15,000sqft of structural shotcrete core walls which stand over 30’ tall for the development’s steel frame commercial buildings. The walls were constructed using 1-sided panels and included multiple embedded steel plates and cast-ins to receive the structural steel members and roof girders.

CSI placed structural shotcrete for the construction of this residential condominium’s 2 level underground parking structure. Structural shotcrete allowed the formwork contractor to overcome the logistical challenges of an overhead staging slab and limited laydown area on a tight job site in Toronto’s busy Midtown neighbourhood.

CSI performed over 20 structural shotcrete shoots for the installation of foundation walls for the 4 level below grade parking structure around a complicated earth retention bracing system.

CSI used structural shotcrete to construct over 60,000ft2 of exterior foundation walls and interior walls at this landmark project in downtown Toronto. Shotcrete alleviated the challenge of installing the foundation walls under the temporary staging slab built along the entire North side of the project.
