Bluwater Condominiums - HCM Group

Shotcrete

The Pemberton Group is adding the luxury waterfront Bluwater Condominiums to its portfolio. The 22,000 SF area of shoring area will accommodate the construction of three eight-story buildings on the banks of Lake Ontario.

The job was tendered with numerous systems; soldier pile and lagging, caisson wall and shotcrete shoring. The excavation depth was 7.5m with soils on the site comprised of 3m of overburden underlain by shale bedrock.

HC Matcon (HCM) in conjunction with Isherwood Associates completed the shoring using shotcrete shoring. Shotcrete shoring system allowed for significant cost savings and quicker installation over a conventional shoring system.
