The JC Wilt Infectious Diseases Research Centre is an enhanced Level II Laboratory for use by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
The building is a 59,000 square foot complex, completely renovated and retrofitted through Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). This project required strict management and close attention to detail in order to achieve LEED Silver certification.
The facility contains laboratory workspace, enhanced laboratory space, training areas, and office space. Electrical systems installed included: normal and emergency power systems with redundancy, as well as automated lighting systems and security systems. Enhanced grounding and incorporation of infectious disease control measures were required in the electrical installation.

For the Red River College Innovation Center project Wescan BIM modeled to 95% which enabled us to prefabricate 87% of the electrical installation. This included support system, conduit packages, wall assemblies, lighting fixtures, panels and transformers.
The Transit Garage Expansion and Renovation Project (approximately $50M total construction value) was a Design Build / Design Assist for Wescan.
Wescan’s scope of work included all mechanical, electrical and structural systems.
