Wilson Carbide Mill — industrial masonry stabilization

Victoria Island, Ottawa, Canada · 2009

Problem

An industrial heritage building needed reinforcement to maintain structural stability while respecting the original masonry fabric.

CINTEC solution

Custom anchors were designed to address deficiencies in brick and masonry, allowing the historic building to remain in service with targeted reinforcement.

Technical notes

The project is a strong example of working in difficult industrial masonry where repair needs to be selective and preserve significant heritage value.

Result

The industrial structure was stabilized and reinforced while preserving the historic character and material integrity of the mill.

CINTEC provides technical consulting, product guidance and project support within its authorized scope. Final design responsibility and structural analysis remain with the project's Engineer of Record.
