The Canadian Coast Guard Hardy Bay was a three-part project consisting of the removal of existing buildings, installation of a new dock with extensive marine works, and construction of the new 16,000 sq. ft building. The Logistics Depot includes dedicated administrative space, warehouse for environmental response equipment, accommodations, and classroom/training space capable of hosting Command Posts. The building is comprised of many specialty products including heavy timber framing, live-edge feature columns, timber pavilion and installation of three totem poles. The challenges encountered during this project included the remote location, severe weather, and the construction taking place over the COVID-19 pandemic. Kinetic implemented special safety measures which resulted in no shutdowns of the site throughout the pandemic. Kinetic worked closely with the locals and hired within the town to ensure a successful delivery without the reliance on out-of-town trades.

Kinetic was engaged by the City of Port Moody to build the state-of-the-art, post-disaster firehall located directly next to City Hall in the heart of Port Moody. The 21,000 sq. ft facility has two sets of high bay parking areas for seven trucks, including four drive-through Primary Truck Bays and three Secondary Truck Bays. The building also includes administrative offices, dormitory facilities, on-call and training facilities and a vintage truck exhibit.
The site is immediately adjacent to an environmentally sensitive wetland and has significant geotechnical challenges requiring careful planning and coordination.
The Inlet Centre Fire Hall is an excellent example of Kinetic’s commitment to working with a client to maintain the budget and schedule. Early in the project, Kinetic identified a significant discrepancy between the budgeted cash allowance and the actual cost for site related work.

Sidney Community Safety Building

Kinetic was engaged by the Town of Sidney to construct this new three-storey, 28,000 sq. ft facility destined to accommodate a new municipal fire hall with four double-apparatus bays, a three bay BC Ambulance Station, emergency operations centre and the associated support facilities to service the community.
Additionally, a three-storey training tower, administrative offices and meeting rooms, crew quarters and gym, kitchen and outdoor space for the staff and the volunteer fire department members.

firehall

Squamish Fire Hall No. 1 & Emergency Operations Centre

This project consists of a 20,400 sq. ft structure containing 4 apparatus bays, three-storey building including a fitness area, firehall quarters and administration/operational spaces, complete with a functioning training hose tower and services. The building is predominantly wood framed and masonry for the hose tower with structural mass timber elements of glulam columns and beams for larger spans. Siteworks include asphalt paving, concrete apron, placement of a retaining wall surrounding portions of the site, as well as soft landscaping.
Due to the critical operations of this facility, it is necessary to re-route site services and maintain the traning yard operational as well as accessibility for the firetrucks. A temporary fire hall has been constructed to ensure no disruption to the essential services provided to the community by these First Responders.

The project developed 0.76 ha (1.8 acres) of new parkland at the southwest end of the Johnson Street Bridge as an expansion to the existing park. The park has been designed in collaboration with the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations and includes feedback from community groups such as the Victoria West Community Association. The site is in traditional Lekwungen territory that was part of the Songhees Reserve lands between 1844 and 1911.

The new park features:

- Places to sit and enjoy spectacular views across the Inner Harbour
- Opportunities to enjoy Lekwungen art and learn about Indigenous language and culture
- Additional trees, as well as indigenous and adaptive plantings that will thrive in our climate and provide habitat for birds and other wildlife
- Flexible spaces that can be enjoyed by individuals and groups
- Accessible circulation routes to spaces within the site and connections to adjacent areas
- Features that encourage play and exploration
- A waterfront viewing platform
- Plus, upgraded lighting, seating, picnic tables, and more

This project involved renovations to portions of the first, second, and fourth floors of the Music Building at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Scope includes select demolition of partitions, finishes, millwork, mechanical, and electrical systems to accommodate a new music library on Level 1, reconfiguration and refresh of the Level 2 administration offices, and construction of a new gender-neutral washroom, classroom, and practice rooms on Level 4. Practice rooms require sound isolation from the adjacent spaces, with one another requiring isolation at walls and doors and acoustic treatment within. Unusually high partitions were required in some spaces, as slab to slab heights varied widely from 9' at Level 1, to 19' at Level 2, and 12' at Level 4. This project was completed in June 2022.

This project involved the transformation of the old Surrey Memorial Hospital emergency department into a new, state-of-the-art 10 bed unit. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit provides a therapeutic environment for children and adolescents experiencing an acute mental health crisis.
The scope included demolition of the entire existing space including cabinets, walls, electrical, mechanical, and exterior walls and construction of new treatment rooms, patient rooms, offices, millwork, flooring and walls. Mechanical and electrical upgrades throughout the space were also performed.

The unit features a Snoezelen™ Room, a multi-sensory environment used to help reduce agitation and anxiety and stimulate and encourage communication, the first of its kind for children and youth in a hospital psychiatric unit in Canada.

Central Saanich Fire Hall No. 1

The Central Saanich Fire Hall is a two-storey concrete, steel and wood frame structure built to post disaster standards. This facility was designed and built to achieve LEED Silver Certification (2015). The new 20,000 sq. ft fire station serves as the Fire Department’s headquarters and accommodates both volunteer and career personnel, in addition to operating as the district’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
The station houses 8 trucks (four tandem drive-through bays) with a deliberate separation between firefighting facilities and the administration areas to allow for decontamination.

The existing Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH) Thermal Energy Centre had reached the end of its operational life span. Kinetic was contracted to perform renovation work and new construction of the facility. The new thermal energy centre replaced the existing boiler room on the third level of the main hospital.
In addition, a new 7125 sq. ft single-storey, post-disaster building was constructed adjacent to the Water Supply building on the west side of the NRGH campus.
The project included moving the boiler system out of the third floor location within the existing hospital, and providing a seismically engineered design to house the new systems and supporting Mechanical and Electrical Facility Management and Operations. The existing hospital systems were seamlessly blended into the new boiler system during construction, all done with little or no disruption to daily operations of the hospital.

Kinetic performed work for an addition and remodel to Blue Grouse Winery, one of the first bonded wineries on Vancouver Island, outside Duncan, BC. The project added one level and a mezzanine (6,228 sq ft) to the existing winery. To do so, Kinetic salvaged a portion of the working winery by building around it on three sides to expand wine-making capacity and add a hospitality component. This scope included a commercial kitchen, tasting room, retail shop, offices, and toilet rooms. In addition, there was a great deal of site work to establish a new entry drive, parking, stormwater and irrigation pond and new electrical service as well as a new process and domestic waste systems.

This project was named “Judges’ Choice – Best Overall Entry” at the 9th Annual Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s Commercial Building Awards ceremony and won the “Award of Excellence” in the Hospitality category.

This project included a 440 m² (4,700 sqft) visitor centre with an attached 185 m² elliptical exhibit room. The exposed timber and glulam structural system along with the lofty open areas of the visitor centre creates a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The elliptical exhibition area posed construction challenges, but a very rewarding final product.

The project is located close to a major connector route and its unique appearance has made it a local landmark.

This project won Judges Choice, at the 2012 Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s (VIREB) Commercial Building Awards as well as the 2014 Community Recognition Award from the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities.

Ten years ago, Kinetic was engaged as the General Contractor to undertake the renovations to the pool deck and change rooms at the Strathcona Gardens Aquatic Centre. The facility’s management wished to have the pool and change rooms finished and re-opened to the community users back in operation as soon as possible. However upon the start of construction, major structural issues were discovered and additional work was required.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class="m-0 pt-0 pb-30" _builder_version="4.14.8" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]

Despite this challenge, Kinetic worked with the owner to fast track the project. The change room floor had several drainage areas which made for a complex slab installation. The project also included extensive and complicated tile work, including signage in the pool deck. Kinetic’s current management team was involved in the execution of this project which provides us a unique perspective of the facility.

CPR Steamship Terminal Building

Originally built and opened in 1905, the CPR terminal was expanded to a larger building to replace the original terminal in the early 1920’s. Throughout its history it housed the CPR steamship passenger terminal, the Royal London Wax Museum and in 1975 it was sold to the Province which managed the property through the Provincial Capital Commission (PCC) and in 2009 commissioned Kinetic to undertake the seismic reinforcement of the structure, and the restoration of the building’s neo-classical details. Driven by the mandate of protecting the historical integrity of this building, the Kinetic Project Team carefully planned the execution of the scopes of work in order to accommodate the installation of seismic upgrades, as well as the reconfiguration of the spaces that would house the new mechanical and electrical elements.

The project entailed a new 13,000 sqft two-storey addition to an existing community centre, interior renovations and modernization, as well as a complete building envelope remediation to the existing building’s exterior. The new addition is of wood-frame heavy timber construction, with extensive use of glulam timbers and exposed fir decking. The existing building also
underwent a complete building envelope remediation, involving the replacement of extensive rot and replacement of exterior cedar siding, roofing, and skylights. As the work was being completed within and around a fully occupied facility, careful planning and phasing of the work was done.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class="m-0 pt-0 pb-30" _builder_version="4.14.8" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]

The project involved creosote timber piles and concrete grade beams on a site that was near sea level. As excavations were performed, it would fill with water as the tides came in and out. To alleviate this, Kinetic coordinated the work and deeper excavations with the tides, as well as installed well point dewatering to assist in the work.

George Jay Elementary School Seismic Upgrade

The project’s scope involved the seismic upgrade of George Jay Elementary School. The building’s primary structure was built in 1909, with various new classrooms that had been added over the years. There were major masonry components included in the scope of work that Kinetic undertook. A new entranceway addition and mechanical upgrades were also part of said scope. Our team implemented measures such as documenting the original state of the rooms prior to the seismic upgrades in order ensure the historic characters and functional school aspects were returned to how they were.

They also engaged the consultants and subtrades proactively in order to maintain and ultimately achieve the tight schedule. Although the overall project was executed in the unoccupied school, the schedule was tight and needed to be met in order to facilitate the timely start of the school year. Careful coordination, planning and the responsiveness of our and the sub trades’ crews were critical to achieving this.

Brookes Westshore Private School

The scope of this project involved the construction of a six (6) floor 70,000 square foot student accommodation, including 78 dormitory suites, five (5) house parent suites and six (6) common rooms. The scope also involves a common cafeteria/food services building, an education/classroom building including a school administration facility, a gymnasium as well as associated on and off site works.

This project’s timeline presented schedule constraints from the very start as it is known that school construction completion must be achieved in late July or August at the latest. Kinetic was approached in March of 2017 and asked to deliver the project by September 2018. It was determined that only a integrated design and a fast tracked construction approach would accomplish this target successfully. The project was planned for execution over 17 months, but was actually delivered in 13 months, just in time for their opening in September and at a reasonable cost. This allowed the owner to deliver on its student enrollment commitments and gain an additional year in revenue.

This 78,600 sq. ft LEED Gold Certified facility houses the Centre for Trades Education and Innovation at Camosun College which provides a state-of-the-art expanded space for marine technology trades as well as mechanical trades. The main atrium was designed and built to create a common student space that is open to everyone on campus. Careful planning was required to lift the large wood truss featured in the atrium, which successfully reflects the design inspiration of a ship hull related to the marine technologies.
Insulated metal panels were used for most of the building, but also substantial transparent panels allowing for natural light into the building. In addition to this, storm water retention, location within the campus, and other energy conservation initiatives qualified this as a LEED Gold Certified building.

The Meadowlane Independent Living project has been designed to provide 48 units plus two staff suites, adjacent to an existing medical clinic. The design, location and services incorporated into the building complex will promote it as a community hub. There is a specific area designated to host the Salt Spring Seniors Services Society. A commercial kitchen, administrative offices, library, media and fitness rooms, and other amenities will be located on the main floor while a commercial laundry and service areas will be built into the partial basement of the facility. Three-storeys high, the residential units are designed and will be equipped to accommodate residents with mobility challenges and provide comfortable and aesthetically pleasing spaces. Decks in the individual units and the communal spaces will provide access to the outdoors for the enjoyment of the residents.

After a successful and productive period of pre-construction services, Kinetic has recently started construction of the Salt Spring Commons Housing project which will consist of 24 units divided among eight triplex buildings located within walking distance of the Ganges village, schools, parks and transit. The pre-construction phase has allowed us to establish relationships, select and engage local trades to perform certain scopes of work. These two and three bedroom units will provide a much-needed affordable housing option to the residents of Salt Spring Island and will be centered around shared open spaces, surrounded by pedestrian pathways. The buildings will be surrounded by gardens and natural spaces that will blend this addition to the neighbourhood into the forested setting.

This project consisted of the phased removal of the existing Port Hardy Airport terminal building and the construction of the new one, to meet sustainable building standards on the same site. The airport remained operational for the duration of construction. The first phase of this contract included site preparation, demolition, and hazardous waste remediation of the existing building with select materials being recycled and reused. The next phase consisted of the construction of the new terminal building without impeding airport operations and in coordination with Airport Management and the relocation of airport operations by transferring and reinstalling all equipment, furniture, and fixtures from the temporary facilities to the new building, completing wayfinding and exterior signage and reinstating all parking and exterior public areas.

Kinetic was awarded the exterior renovation of the Walter C. Koerner Library. The project involved a renovation of several floors of the Walter C. Koerner Library, consisting of four (4) phases to be performed on Levels 2, 4, 5, and 6. Phase one consisted on renovating Levels 6 and 2 North concurrently. On Level 6, the space was unoccupied, and the work involved the addition of two (2) offices as well as renovation of the washroom entry. Once the bookshelves were removed, construction of new workstations and offices proceeded. For phase 2, the work on Level 4 took place on the entire floor and the renovation on Level 5 included only the North side. Hoarding was required for the work taking place in the vestibule on Level 4. Work on phase 3, Level 5 South was finalized in the Summer of 2020.

Features of the new interchange:

Roundabouts to improve safety and travel time for various modes of transportation including transit, cycling and walking to Victoria International Airport and ferry terminals, and local traffic travelling within the community or to adjacent municipalities.

Improved opportunities for future transit service, including access for Rapid Bus, and an expansion of the current park-and-ride service (for a total of about 200 spaces).

Access for cyclists and pedestrians with pathways and a separate crossing.

Better air quality due to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and more efficient energy use due to less idling / stop-and-go traffic and increased use of transit.

Reduced noise caused by stop-and-go traffic.
