Local 793 members employed by Richard Steel Ltd. are building a new parking garage as part of the $2.1 billion Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus project. Brothers Stephane Deschamps, Mathieu Moreau, Simon Campeau Foucault, Apprentice Carl Thompson-Chartrand, and Manager Benoit Kenney are at the new Ottawa Hospital site with a Liebherr 500-ton crane for the next 12 to 14 months lifting precast pieces for the parkade.
The four-storey building can accommodate 2,500 parking spaces, 310 secure indoor bicycle parking spots, and another 225 outside with a rooftop park.
The $2.1 billion new state-of-the-art healthcare facility and academic research centre on the Ottawa Hospital grounds will be finished by 2028.
