The Story

The Brookfield Place project involved the construction of a 56-storey commercial tower with six levels of underground parking, including a loading/unloading dock facility. At a height of 247 metres, it is currently the second-tallest building in Alberta.
Challenges and Solutions

Challenge: Logistically speaking, the site itself presented EllisDon with challenges. The construction team’s access was limited in two directions by Light Rail Transit tracks to the south, and a six-level above-grade parkade to the west.

Challenge: With site congestion and downtown tower construction there is always a risk of harm to the public or construction crew.
EllisDon Energy & Digital Services

The Energy & Digital Services (“E&DS”) team led the project management and execution of all integration and MEIT scopes of work for Brookfield Place Calgary. The tower’s Intelligent Building Design involved the implementation of numerous mechanical and electrical systems interconnected over a converged network. This network allows building systems such as Security Cameras and Power Meters (EMPs) to leverage Power over Ethernet technology for streamlined deployment of data and power requirements. Building Systems equipment such as Building Automation occupancy sensors and Digital Lighting fixtures were integrated for enhanced functionality. E&DS ensured project delivery of all intelligent building systems by leading the implementation of integration activities as Master Technology Integrator. The role of Master Technology Integrator included for the coordination and management of structured cabling, electrical, digital lighting, building automation, IT professional service and security system contractors in guiding the implementation of the systems they were responsible to provide.
