Portlands Storm Water Pumping Station Shafts

Toronto Port Lands redevelopment is transforming a long-underutilized industrial area into a vibrant, flood-resilient community. As part of this initiative, CSI and our client Alliance Verdi Civil implemented the use of the structural shotcrete process for the construction of two 30’ diameter by 50’ deep circular shafts forming part of the new stormwater treatment and outfall system. Constructed in 4 sequential lifts, the shotcrete process eliminated the need for the procurement and handling of curved formwork, streamlining construction and significantly accelerating the project schedule.
