The City of Guelph Council has approved fully building out the Wilson Street Parkade. WalterFedy prepared the Design-Build package for the garage and our Civil Engineering team is currently completing the reconstruction of Wilson Street from Gordon to Carden. 

As our communities continue to grow, it is important to consider the impact each newly developed site has on its surrounding environment. While sustainable building technologies are continuously being developed and are becoming more commonplace, the impact of a well-designed site on the environment and the surrounding community is often overlooked.

WalterFedy is part of the EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare team chosen to develop, design and build the new Groves Memorial Community Hospital in Aboyne, Ont. (between Fergus and Elora). The win follows a nine month long pursuit process involving numerous meetings and presentations to the hospital in competition with two other consortiums. 

Monthly electricity charges typically represent a substantial portion of corporations’ operating costs and can be difficult to control with the current variability in their Global Adjustment (GA) charge. In the past, the GA line item for the vast majority of Ontario businesses has been calculated based on a variable monthly rate and their monthly electricity usage, a factor that is hard to significantly alter once energy management practices are put in place. An alternate path to calculate GA does exist but, until recently, has only been available for the largest of Ontario electricity consumers. This alternate path is the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI).

Lighting is an integral part of all building spaces. It can make a space feel inviting and bright, can increase user comfort in a space, but can be one of the major energy consumers as well. Understanding the right lighting levels in your space can support you with achieving the right lighting levels, happy end-users and at the lowest operating cost possible.
