SPITZ STADIUM

The Spitz Stadium project demonstrates the capabilities of our Mechanical team in the delivery of sports and recreation centres. Originally constructed in 1975, the Spitz Stadium hosts baseball games and concerts for the community of Lethbridge with capacity for 3,000 spectators. Given its status as a busy hub for baseball and entertainment enthusiasts in Lethbridge and the surrounding areas, it was important that renovations be completed with longevity and efficiency in mind. The Arrow team worked to design revisions to plumbing, ventilation and fire protection systems in existing washrooms, multi-purpose space, first aid space, officials rooms, the press room, ‘luxury rooms’, and concession space. Additionally, a new Pro Shop building, which will be used as a ticket station and retail space, was added to the site and built independent of the Stadium, which is used as a ticket station and retail space.

Given the seasonal nature of the Spitz Stadium, the Arrow team was required to design with winterization in mind, as systems need be durable enough to withstand cold winter temperatures in order to be fully operational in time for the busy spring and summer.

Three rooms in the Century Casino were set to be renovated in coordination with Emcee Construction & Management and Jennifer Jordan Interior Design. Arrow was brought in to engineer the changes to their two poker rooms, one of which was a high-limit room that involved top-quality finishings, as well as overseeing the demolition of an existing food and beverage area within the casino.

The outdated rooms were set to be modernized and updated to world-class standards. Arrow was responsible for ensuring the casino could remain in operation while renovations were completed. In order to maintain a fully operational casino, work was carefully completed using a phased approach. Throughout the process, Arrow’s electrical department coordinated with the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission to ensure that all elements of lighting and cabling were done within regulation.

As part of the project management of this renovation, Arrow supervised and recommended changes to meet the high standards of the design while staying on budget. Though the project was faced with numerous change orders, many of which resulted in increased costs, Arrow worked to find creative solutions to make sure budgets and timelines were maintained as closely as possible.

As the project continued, Arrow utilized the experience they gained during the initial phase to streamline the process and improve client communications, allowing for a faster and easier build process.

“Part of the renovation was a relocation of a number of VLT’s. This required the electrical team to take a close look at the existing electrical work to determine how it to best utilize the existing structure without reworking the entire space.”
– Kevin Mattai, Lead Electrical Engineer

The Seymour Pacific Head Office project demonstrates the skills and creativity of our Mechanical and Electrical teams in the delivery of integrated services for large-scale office projects.

Working alongside the Seymour Pacific team, our mechanical and electrical divisions collaborated in the design of this striking four-storey office building, located in Campbell River, BC. The Seymour Pacific office contains open-concept cubicles located in the centre of the building, surrounded by offices around the perimeter, along with an underground parkade, which contains a full kitchen and dumbwaiter service to the third-floor cafeteria. Acting as the hub for Seymour staff and management, this office design required a comfortable and efficient environment for hundreds of Seymour employees.

Our mechanical team worked to accommodate for heating and cooling requirements, ventilation supply and exhaust, a fire sprinkler systems and the server room design.

Arrow’s Electrical team worked to design the building and site lighting layouts, utility coordination and site servicing, fire alarm design, and communications infrastructure.

The Campbell Scientific project demonstrates the experience and skills of our Mechanical and Civil design teams in the delivery of office / warehouse projects.

In collaboration with Dialog, Arrow team members worked to design this impressive two-storey office and warehouse space, located in North-West Edmonton; combined, both floors total approximately 33,320 SF.

Arrow’s Mechanical team worked to design plumbing and drainage, heating and cooling systems, ventilation, fire-sprinkler systems according to client requirements. Building design required that an environmental testing chamber be implemented, in-house; this required attention from our mechanical team regarding specific temperature controls and requirements.

Our Civil team worked to design an appropriate storm water management plan, site grading and drainage plan, and provided appropriate documentation to meet municipal requirements.

The Ormed Headquarters project demonstrates the abilities of our mechanical team in office buildings. Our team worked in collaboration with Architecture Tkalcic Bengert to provide mechanical design services for a single storey office design totaling approximately 15,650 SF, located on a 2.5 acre site in Edmonton, Alberta.

Specific requirements included the design of geothermal heat pumps, and in-floor heating.

Intact Building required a major renovation and addition to an existing building, demonstrating the capabilities and knowledge of our team in renovation projects and sustainable design. Engineering services for this professional building included the design to achieve the US Green Building Council’s LEED® Gold Certification.

The multi-use building consists of 236,000 SF of offices, meeting rooms, and data centres with commercial / retail space, change rooms with showers and underground parking. The LEED® design included utilization of storm water for the washroom sanitary fixtures, low water consumption fixtures and equipment, environmentally friendly refrigerants, increased outdoor ventilation to ensure premium indoor air quality, and the application of multiple fan coil units to provide excellent zone control and thermal comfort.

As the project moved forward, the owner requested a change of design so that he could operate out of the entire building instead of just the top floor. With some redesigning, Arrow was able to utilize shared spaces to save the client money, and reduce the amount of change orders necessary.

Our team provided Mechanical and Civil Design services for this two-storey office building, comprised of approximately 5,400 SF on the main floor, and 7,000 SF on the second floor. Working in collaboration with Hodgson Schilf Architects, our team worked to design this new urban infill accommodating high-end office space, located in the heart of Leduc’s business district.

Project components included an elevator, high-end office spaces, and an overhang on the second floor, designed to provide covered parking in the alleyway. Subsequently, due to a change in ownership, our team had the opportunity to return to Center 54 after original work was completed, in order to accommodate a tenant improvement.

This project demonstrates the skill and capabilities of both our Mechanical and Civil teams, in base builds and tenant improvements, and site design, respectively.

Arrow Engineering Inc. provided Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Design and Consulting Services for a renovation, addition and tenant improvement to an existing building in Saskatoon, SK. Formerly known as ‘Wilsons School and First Nations University of Canada’, this building was chosen as a prime opportunity to repurpose a prominent building within the community and give it new life, all while maintain the look of the original building. This open-concept office space houses about 170 employees, all of whom had previously worked throughout four office in Saskatoon. Affinity Credit Union chose to build an addition on to the end of the building, and add a fourth floor for additional office space, while working to incorporate many green-building features.

Arrow’s Electrical team was required to design lighting controls, fire alarm, building access controls, emergency generator and power distribution and audio visual systems throughout the existing structure, and the addition.

Working alongside Arrow’s Electrical team, our Mechanical team designed a new digital controls system, in-floor heating for main floor expansion areas, a new chilled water cooling system for chilled beam distribution, upgraded heating system equipment for energy efficiency and the provision of new humidification systems to serve the building.

The Lafarge Transit Plant provides a location for customers to obtain ready-to-mix concrete for distribution and installation. Concrete trucks fill up with concrete based off of their needs, and transport it to required locations.

Arrow’s Electrical team worked to design systems for the plant building and office component; including lighting, power and communications. Mechanical design included the design and construction administration for the office, plant and process facilities.

The project team collaborated significantly with the owner to ensure that what was being designed met with their expectations. As both the contractor and the architect had worked on similar projects before, coordination was smooth. Our teams relied upon on knowledge gained from the design of similar past projects.
