Project Details

Showcasing Our Work at Trillium Health Partners Queensway Health Centre Parking Garage

We had the privilege of providing our fire stopping and expansion joint application to the new Trillium Parking Garage; an essential eight story parking facility on Sherway Drive, in Etobicoke. This surface lot, with a gated parking system, serves the Queensway Health Centre, which offers a comprehensive range of care hospital services and specialized community-based programs. Beverly Caulking’s role was integral to enhancing the safety and durability of this parking structure. Our team was tasked with applying and installing expansion joint cover plates and fire-rated expansion joints, ensuring fire stopping of floor penetrations in electrical rooms across all floors, particularly within the elevator lobbies on levels one through eight.

Scope

  • Application and installation of expansion joint cover plates
  • Installation of fire-rated expansion joints at parking garage elevator lobbies
  • Fire stopping of floor penetrations in electrical rooms on all floors

Two-Step Expansion Joint Installation Process

Our process for the expansion joint installation involves a two-step approach to ensure both functionality and durability. The first step includes installing fire-rated joints that expands into place and applying a special epoxy that bonds the expansion joints to the sides of the joint. This epoxy applied on both sides of the joint creates a tight seal and provides structural integrity. The second step involves adding aluminum plates, which are both cosmetic and protective. These plates span the expansion joint by two inches on either side and are secured with screws on one side to accommodate movement while protecting the joint from wear and tear, especially in high-foot-traffic areas. By implementing high-quality caulking solutions, we contributed to the sustainability of these structures, ensuring they are both durable and energy efficient.
