OBJECTIVE
The Police Youth Centre located at the southeast corner of Hog’s Back Road and
Prince of Wales Drive, at 1463 Prince of Wales Drive has been sold to a
developer to be developed as a condominium building. The existing building will
be demolished and a new 12-storey reinforced concrete condominium building
is planned. There already exists a number of mid to high-rise condominium buildings
in the area, raising concerns over adversely affecting the traffic flow. Its location
being near Mooney’s Bay and parks and green lands also raises concerns over the
environmental impact of the development.
SCOPE
Tender
Petra Engineering performed
several preliminary studies and
provided solutions to meet the
constraints related to this
project with respect to the City
of Ottawa regulations.

As per the city of Ottawa By-laws, a traffic brief is required for a residential construction which would create between 76 and 150 new vehicle trips per hour. Actual Conditions • Measured by Petra
Engineering Additional Vehicles •Obtained from the Trip Generation Manual
Elevation View
Footing Plans
Architectural Design Plans were generated to help visualization and construction, including but not limited to: • Slab Reinforcement • Column Schedule • Footing Schedule • Elevation Views • Outside Finishing
Environmental assessment is an established part of
the planning process in the project. A technical and
robust approach is essential to ensure a cost-
effective outcome. The conducted investigations and
studies include :
• Environmental Site
Assessment
• Waste Management
• Noise Study
• Storm Water Management
The sustainability analysis covered energy conservation concepts: • Optimum use of daylight, • Green materials, • Optimum heating and water
usage. The following are the categories that were focused on in the design: • Sustainable Sites • Energy and Atmosphere • Water Efficiency • Materials and Resources • Indoor environment Quality • Innovation in Design
