    UHPC Panel For MTQ

    Overview

    Petra Design was entrusted with delivering a lightweight, sustainable, and high-performance cladding solution for MTQ. In response, we engineered and manufactured a 40mm-thick Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) panel system, designed to replace the outdated, heavy precast panels. Our custom-designed UHPC panels provide a thinner and lighter alternative while being fire-rated, offering enhanced fire resistance, higher strength, and exceptional durability as key requirements for the project. To ensure efficient installation, Petra Design also developed a pre-engineered hanging system. This system streamlines the lifting, precise positioning, and secure cladding of the fire-rated UHPC panels onto the existing structure. Through this innovative solution, Petra Design successfully met MTQ’s demands for sustainability, functionality, and ease of installation.

    Overview

    A 31-storey condo and 11-storey office building located at 5220 Yonge Street in Toronto’s North York City Centre area. The cladding panels were created in separate pieces, each measuring approximately 12 x 6 feet. These GFRC panels were individually manufactured and connected using a steel frame made of Hollow Structural Sections (HSS). Anchor fasteners were used to securely attach the panels to the frame. This construction method allows for the creation of large, customized wall cladding systems that provide both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
