From paper drawing to hospital facility in two weeks!
|
|
Mechanical companies across Canada have needed to be extremely agile to adapt to the realities of operating in the current pandemic. Some companies have been called upon to go above and beyond to assist in supporting our vital hospital infrastructure. One example of this is the creation of Canada’s first modular Pandemic Response Unit at Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington, Ont., which was created to manage the hospital’s current and future surges of COVID-19 patients. The 8,250-sq.-ft., 93-bed unit was built by construction firm BLT with HIDI Group and Modern Niagara overseeing the mechanical design and installation at the facility.
Read all about how this facility went from a hand-drawn design on paper to a fully functioning facility in only two weeks!
A huge thank you to HIDI Group, Modern Niagara and all the other mechanical contractors across the country that are braving the pandemic to ensure our well-being and that everyday lives remain as unchanged as possible.
Stay safe out there!

Parting Shot: Call it a comeback
|
 As the heat of the summer rolls in and people are itching to get outside, one old, mostly forgotten option for date night is popping back up across the country during the pandemic. The demand for drive-in movie theatres is making a comeback and they are starting to pop up across the country. In Vaudreuil, Que., one will be opening this summer at Campus de la Cité-des-Jeunes. With the cancellation of festivals and events this summer, a large parking lot with a beautiful waterfront view has become available. Where movie theatres were once a cheap way to escape the heat and enjoy some of the first publicly available air-conditioned comfort, it seems that the movies are once again stepping up to provide a much-needed escape during the pandemic. With limited options to get out of the house due to social distancing, places like drive-in movie theatres will likely be more appreciated than ever before.
Check out the news of the Vaudreuil drive-in theatre here.
