Please be advised that McGill University has mandated Céleb Construction ltée. to carry out the following project: 17-004 Burnside – Electrical distribution and infrastructure upgrade.

The project consists of the upgrade of the vertical power distribution system. Includes mechanical, electrical, and architectural work.

Construction start date: June 2024

Planned construction end date: October 2025

Work schedule: Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., with some nights and weekend work to be coordinated with the Building Director.

Project Manager: Simon Lacoste - simon.lacoste [at] mcgill.ca

Assistant Project Manager: Jose Uria - jose.uria [at] mcgill.ca

Contact for building users: Jose Correa (Building Director) - jose.a.correa [at] mcgill.ca

Scope of work:

• Renovation of the building’s entire vertical electric distribution (bus ducts)
• Renovation of four (4) electrical rooms
• Replacement of 26 electrical panels
• Installation of redundancy between emergency generators

Impact & mitigation:

Access:

• Traffic in the building may be rerouted at times. A security agent or signage will redirect building users.
• Short closures of some spaces may be needed and will be coordinated with the building director and users.

Noise:

• The work may generate noise at times. The building director and users will be informed of noisier work.

Service shutdowns:

• Multiple minor and major service shutdowns will be needed. These will be coordinated in advance with the building director and the users.

Safety considerations:

• The work planned as part of the project will involve asbestos-containing materials and silica-containing materials. Most of the work likely to disturb these materials is planned in the electrical rooms located on floors 3, 6 and 9, and in the south staircase. All applicable safety measures will be put in place and monitored by an external industrial hygiene consultant. These include dust-containment methods such as setting up enclosures to isolate the work areas and putting the work areas under negative pressure, where required, or using specialized vacuuming equipment.
