Project info

The District of Squamish required the development of a new post-disaster Firehall and Emergency Operations Centre. Moving the Fire Rescue headquarters, Emergency Operations Centre, and IT Server Room out of the floodplain and into a post-disaster building was critical for effective emergency response. Now completed, first responders work in a building that meets all seismic and occupational health and safety standards.

We provided design-assist services to the construction team. Our scope included all electrical work, exterior and interior lighting, a digital sub-metering system, emergency power, network systems, a fire alarm system, a public address system, and security access control and intrusion alarms.

Project info

The Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Fire Hall and Emergency Response Centre is a critical piece of infrastructure for the Canadian Armed Forces. As emergency responsibilities have become increasingly complex and new fire trucks are larger in size, a new building was essential. 

The new three-storey, 40,000 square-foot LEED® Silver-rated facility replaced the 55-year-old fire hall within CFB Esquimalt. Unlike other fire halls, this new facility is unique due to its two services—a fire hall and a base command post.

We provided electrical and technology solutions, including electrical distribution, backup power, lighting, fire alarm, security, building controls, and audio visual. While it was a challenge to incorporate the specialized equipment required for this unique facility, we were able to collaborate with the client to secure all materials and installation within the project schedule.
