The Quay is an ambitious infill development that will see a 21-storey purpose-built rental tower built in between two existing and fully leased/operational rental apartment buildings. The demolition of an existing 3-storey podium that connects to the existing 21-storey rental towers at 350 and 390 Queens Quay will make way for the new tower, which will also tie into the existing towers. The complexity of this development being constructed in such close proximity to fully operational apartment residences is further increased by the constraints of the project site which sits directly adjacent to the Gardener Expressway and an inlet for Lake Ontario.
Additionally, the development will see further densification via an addition to be built onto the back end of 350 Queens Quay. In total, 340 rental units will be added to this residential complex.
At the Quay, we have used digital technology to detect clashes within design models. Using Navisworks and Procore we can flag issues in the model and assign the same to respective consultants. This coordination is done monthly. Reviewing the design in 3D Models with the drawings is one aspect of the BIM team’s process. We have created 3D models of the existing civil utilities to better understand interference with the project’s below grade structure. As this site is next to the Gardener it was important to visualize the logistics planning, therefore, 3D models of the two tower cranes and it’s swing, fly forms, mobile cranes helped understand the constraints of such a tight site. The project was tying into an existing building and for that we created a 4D simulation using the model and schedule to sequence what the demolition and slab connection would look like. Using 4D software we were able to compare the Planned vs Actual schedule and we are currently working on comparing the planned with the actual cost of the project using 5D cost analysis.
