Work Detail

TELSTORM Corp. was retained to provide design services for a full range of accessibility upgrades at a major mail sorting centre in east Toronto. The existing front entrance area was deficient from an accessibility point of view and the wearing surfaces were degrading and uneven. Accessibility upgrades included a new two-story elevator located at the exterior within the main entrance area, revised access stairs and ramp, re-working of interlock paver stones, new railings and guardrails, new tactile strips and mats, new code compliant entry doors and security gates, new code compliant internal ramp to access an internal Tim Horton’s retail store and new barrier free male/female washrooms on the second floor for Canada Post staff. TELSTORM provided all accessibility audit, design, tender and contract administration services.
