Canada Life

Canada Life TP-06 project was done as a design assist collaboration between NTAG, Bockstael, SMS, Nortec and Wescan to decommission an existing steam power plant and upgrade to a new natural gas hot water power plant, along with a replacement and centralization of the Chiller Plant at Canada Life campus on 60/80/100 Osborne. Steam to Hot Water Heating switch over was phased to accommodate the ongoing renovations on campus.
