CSS Training Center

Project Details

This Combat Service Support (CSS) Training building built for the Department of National Defense. The building has galvanized structural and secondary framing for rust and corrosion purposes as called for by the client. Situated in Petawawa, Ontario this building is to be subjected to severe winters which meant that a few provisions were to be made as per our client’s request.  Along with a Standing Seam Roof and corrugated exterior wall panels, this structure has a composite roof and wall system which allowed for a much higher insulated value to be given to the building. This was achieved by “sandwiching” the fibre insulation between the exterior wall panels and interior, full height, liner pane. The liner panels were also used as the vapour retarder by having each interior panel caulked and sealed to each other, eliminating the need for an extra polyethylene  barrier. As a safety measure snow guards were also installed on the eaves to prevent ice build-up from slipping off the roof potentially harming the occupants.
