One of the world’s largest wastewater energy transfer systems, this project will deliver low-carbon heating and cooling to Toronto Western Hospital for the next 30 years. The engineers undertook complex retrofitting, deep excavation, and live tunnel connections, all within a constrained urban hospital site. With minimal visual impact, it achieves massive energy savings and carbon reductions through smart, resilient infrastructure.
A technically complex and quietly impactful project that stands out for its thoughtful collaboration and effective knowledge sharing across disciplines. The team successfully delivered a challenging energy system in a constrained hospital environment, demonstrating the vital role of structural engineering in the transition to clean energy. A replicable and meaningful achievement.
