PROJECT IDENTIFICATION:
R.011800.001 - PARLIAMENT HILL, NORTH PERIMETER WALL
REHABILITATION ,
PHASE 3, 111 WELLINGTON STREET, OTTAWA, ONTARIO
Project description:
The North Perimeter Wall is a historical landscape feature on
Parliament Hill that acts as a transitional barrier between the
perimeter pedestrian pathway of the pleasure grounds and the
wild landscape of the escarpment skirting the plateau. Public
Works and Government Services Canada wishes to proceed with the
rehabilitation of the wall from Pier 33 to Pier 45 as well as
reconstruction of the adjacent pathway from Pier 33 to 46
(around the Summer Pavilion).
The wall is primarily a masonry structure that is comprised of
face stones, cap stones and pier stones with an iron railing set
on top. In original sections, the back of the wall on the
escarpment side and the foundation consist of an early type of
concrete. The wall is demonstrating significant signs of
deterioration and, in certain locations, pose health and safety
risks to the visiting public and other users. The purpose of
this project is to employ appropriate methods of intervention
that will: respect the heritage character of this historically
important structure, address health and safety threats, and
ensure the long term sustainability of the wall.
The project scope includes a complete dismantling of the
ironwork and masonry components, demolition of the foundation
and path, and rebuilding of the wall and path.
Work is to be completed within fifty six (56) weeks after
contract award.
