Industrial/Commercial/Institutional Projects

Kingston/Galloway Pool

We were awarded a contract by the Metropolitan Toronto Housing Authority to address the lack of fresh air in a public pool. The existing de-humidifier had failed and the manufacturer was out of business. We designed a new system with a Dry-o-tron dehumdification system and an air-to-air heat exchanger to de-humidify pool air and to provide fresh air as needed economically. The heat of rejection was used to heat the pool water.

235 Carlaw Ave.

This is an industrial building in the downtown area. We were retained by the owners to design the mechanical, electrical and life safety systems required to convert the building to ‘live-work’ spaces.

The Anglican Church of St. Margaret

This historic church has a steam heating system. Both the boiler plant and the steam distribution system required renewal. Weinstein Taylor and Associates prepared drawings for the existing distribution system and engineered the renewal of the heating system.

Donevan Recreation Centre

We were retained by the City of Oshawa to design a replacement fire alarm system for this recreation centre, which includes a pool and an ice rink as well as administrative and community use areas. The system features a 2-stage system to avoid having to evacuate the pool to the outside in cold weather in the case of false alarms. We also managed the construction on behalf of the City.

Humbervale Christian Outreach

Weinstein Taylor and Associates was hired to correct some of the heating and air conditioning problems that had plagued this building since its construction. The building houses a seniors’ residence, a school, a church and an extensive recreation area. Our investigation showed errors in the ductwork design, the re-heat coils, the piping and pumping arrangement and in the controls. We engineered the correction of these problems.

Dylex

The Dylex Distribution Centre is a quarter million square foot warehouse. We were retained to design a heating and ventilation system for the warehouse.  Our design featured rooftop units with economizers and high capacity pivoting drum louvres for economical air distribution with accurate pattern control.  We also engineered an efficient exhaust system for the battery charging area.

Fairmount Books

Weinstein Taylor and Associates was hired to do the complete design and project management for this 32,000 sq. ft. warehouse. With Stephen Langmead, our in-house architect, we prepared architectural, mechanical and electrical drawings, expedited site plan approval, assisted the owner to hire a contractor and supervised construction. The warehouse features automated bi-level lighting and infrared heating.

Michaels of Canada

Michaels is a craft and home decorating mega store. With Stephen Langmead, our associated architect, we created the base store specifications for their Canadian expansion. We designed 22 of the 26 stores they opened across Canada. Particular attention was paid to air quality, colour balanced lighting and Direct Digital control (DDC) building automation with central control from their Toronto head office.
