What are we working on?

West Memorial Building, Canada’s historical landmark, honouring Canadians who served during the Second World War, was built between 1954 and 1958, housed various government departments offices until becoming unusable in 2008 due to its age. In 2020 EllisDon Corporation was awarded its rehabilitation. Through Walters Group, and under strict COVID-19  safety measures in June Benson Steel started fabricating the steel structure of the heritage building renovation and will continue to do so through the fall in  2024.

A lot has happened at the Ādisōke project site since our last update. Significant progress has been made on the curved roof. The wooden structural beams have all been installed and the paneling is also complete.
The structural steel work for the feature staircase and central gathering space (atrium) is now complete.

Ãdisõke
In Anishinãbemowin Algonquin language, Ãdisõke refers to the telling of stories, which are at the heart of Anishinãbe Algonquin culture and the vision of both founding institutions.

Once again, Benson staff in the plant and office's hard work, dedication, craftsmanship and experience has shined along the fabrication and erection of this project.
Another project to be very proud of.

Late in 2021 Benson Steel was awarded the contract to fabricate and erect the structural steel and mass timber systems for the new Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada joint facility.

In 2022 and 2023 Benson Steel is fabricating the two new Porter Airlines Hangars for aircraft maintenance at the Ottawa airport.

The 150,000-square-foot facility will house all of Porter’s E-2 aircraft maintenance. 

The hangars will have indoor parking for up to eight aircraft and will be built with sustainability in mind. 

This project helps position Ottawa airport for future growth with a critical piece of transportation infrastructure for our national capital region.
