Specificities / complexity of the mandate

The main buildings are characterized by their architectural complexity (rich and varied architectural style, such as the station building which is a heritage building). Added to this, the complexity of the electromechanical system of the pool/community center.

 

 

Methodology

  • Detailed visual and/or tactile inspection was performed on the architectural, civil, electrical and mechanical components of each building.
  • Identification of deficiencies in accordance with the recommendations listed in the guide entitled "ASTM E2018-01" and the standards of practice of the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI).
  • Elaboration of the asset retention master plan for the entire building stock using Uniformat 2 level 4 code with a direct link to the photos taken during the inspections.

 

Deliverables

  • Inventory of the components of each building and health check of each building,
  • List of deficiencies and evaluation of the costs related with the necessary interventions until 2030
  • Photo register of observed deficiencies. The photos are classified by building with a precise nomenclature approved by the city. In addition, photo links have been created in Excel spreadsheets to easily visualize the deficiencies.
  • Intervention follow-up register
  • Training sessions on the use of the tool made available to the city as a result of this mandate were given to the main managers of the different buildings in order to promote the proper use and periodic updating of the tool.
