Centre de sécurité publique 9-1-1
Jenaco is continuing its collaboration with general contractor Pomerleau with the construction of a public security centre for the City of Montréal. This nerve centre will be used primarily to receive and process 911 emergency calls from the public and responders to ensure public safety.
One notable aspect of this building mechanics project is the design that emphasizes exceptional brightness.
The building's perimeter is equipped with large windows, necessitating the use of approximately fifty convector heaters to ensure proper heat distribution. Integrating these heaters during the final stage will require significant attention to detail.
“Building a mixed steel and wood structure poses an additional challenge. We can’t just drill holes and do whatever we want with a timber frame. It requires a lot of planning and a lot of precision.”
Antoine Boutin, project manager, highlighted another feature of this large-scale project: the design and layout of a mechanical room that will occupy half of the third floor, or the equivalent of one-sixth of the building's surface area.
“This type of mandate requires systems with component redundancy to ensure continuous reliability.”
In addition to the aerothermal heat pumps, coolers, and a dozen heating pumps, the Jenaco team must also install two buffer tanks, five unit heaters, electric and gas boilers, and two electric water heaters.
“With so many devices, our main challenge lies in the planning, the 3D design of the layout of the mechanical room, and the coordination of the delivery of the various equipment.”
A crane will be needed to transport several of these pieces of equipment to the third floor. This requires excellent coordination, including with the other trades involved in the project. “We are known for our collaborative work and our desire to make everyone's job easier. We will continue to work in the same way,” added Antoine.
Upstream work for this plumbing and heating contract has begun, with the pipefitters expected to be fully mobilized after the summer holidays in 2025. The team will have up to eight members when the mechanical room is being assembled. The three-story building, measuring approximately 54.6 m by 34.5 m (180 x 113 feet), will be completed in October 2026.
