CSI was contracted for the installation of mass structural shotcrete station walls at the Humber College Station project. CSI placed over 2600m3 of low heat of hydration shotcrete for walls up to 60” thick with heavily reinforced triple rebar mats.

CSI placed structural shotcrete for over 10,000ft2 of exterior foundation walls for the new commercial office building. Structural shotcrete was placed against wood shoot panels and provided a smooth and consolidated surface for the application of post-applied waterproofing.

CSI provided shotcrete services for the construction of the 16,000ft2 Valley Park Skate Park for the City of Hamilton. Shotcrete was used for the construction of the curved elements of the skate park including the flow bowl, bank hips, and transition ramps.

CSI installed over 15,000sqft of structural shotcrete core walls which stand over 30’ tall for the development’s steel frame commercial buildings. The walls were constructed using 1-sided panels and included multiple embedded steel plates and cast-ins to receive the structural steel members and roof girders.

CSI placed structural shotcrete for the construction of this residential condominium’s 2 level underground parking structure. Structural shotcrete allowed the formwork contractor to overcome the logistical challenges of an overhead staging slab and limited laydown area on a tight job site in Toronto’s busy Midtown neighbourhood.

Located in downtown Toronto’s Harbourfront neighbourhood, CSI provided structural shotcrete for the construction of the 550’ curved perimeter wall for the park’s heart shaped pond.

CSI placed over 650m3 of structural shotcrete for the construction of a 30” thick structural crash wall with heavily reinforced with bar sizes up to 35M along the Stouffville Go Metrolinx Rail Line as part of the China City commercial development.

CSI performed over 20 structural shotcrete shoots for the installation of foundation walls for the 4 level below grade parking structure around a complicated earth retention bracing system.

CSI used structural shotcrete to construct over 60,000ft2 of exterior foundation walls and interior walls at this landmark project in downtown Toronto. Shotcrete alleviated the challenge of installing the foundation walls under the temporary staging slab built along the entire North side of the project.

The structural shotcrete process was introduced on this municipal restoration project for infilling of the deteriorating precast cladding from the interior of the building; the construction of infill shear walls below existing slabs; and the construction of structural push walls against steel wear plates and exterior metal cladding. In 2023, this project received the Project Achievement Award at the Toronto Construction Association’s Best of the Best Awards.

CSI was contracted for the installation of mass structural shotcrete station walls at the Finch West Station project. CSI placed over 1750m3 of low heat of hydration shotcrete for walls up to 56” thick in the station entrances and station box.

CSI used structural shotcrete to construct the exterior walls for an extension of the Toronto PATH system. The use of structural shotcrete facilitated the construction of the blindside foundation walls for the cut and cover tunnel below a heavily braced earth retention system in the heart of the downtown core.

CSI worked with the owner, general contractor, and designers to provide a troweled architectural shotcrete finish for the exterior cladding of this custom home. In addition to the shotcrete services; CSI worked with the project team to redesign the architectural features of the cladding and the building envelope to accommodate the use of shotcrete while keeping long term performance and crack mitigation at front of mind.

CSI was contracted to install a 100mm shotcrete lining for the rehabilitation of a 100’ long x 20’ diameter live culvert in Dufferin County, Ontario. The lining was installed in 2 stages with a smooth steel trowel finish.
