  • Project Value: $3,420,000
  • Project Size: 46,720 square feet
  • Completed: December 2014

This is a new 60 room hotel located in northern Ontario.  It was built using recycled shipping containers as a form of modular construction on a helical pile foundation. According to the modular manufacturer, this is the largest hotel in North America completed with this type of construction technology.  This construction method helped to overcome some of the challenges associated with construction in the north and remote demographics.
The project was constructed on a municipal site that had a variety of fill placed over the existing peat base. Due to the poor soil conditions, 194 helical piles were used to support the modular units with an average depth of 40’. Geotechnical engineering was required to further stabilize the site to prepare for servicing including installation of sanitary, storm drainage systems, asphalt paving, concrete curbing, sidewalks, hydro transformation, site lighting, signage and landscaping.
The concept of re-using a durable shipping container as the source of a module that could be used in extremely rugged environment was the basis of this project.  This project was constructed utilizing Ladacor's Advanced Modular System™ building technology. This technology utilizes shipping containers as a durable steel modular core. It not only created an environmentally sustainable and progressive solution for the owner by repurposing 120 surplus shipping containers, it also resulted in a very high quality project to meet the stringent standards of the franchise.
The modular containers were shipped on flatbed truck and lifted in place using a crane. Each container came from the factory Intertek Certified to a CSA standard complete with all of the electrical and plumbing installed. Once the modular units were in place, the stitching process began. Carpet was installed, furniture moved into place and connection of all electrical and mechanical systems were completed. Site framing of the front lobby, meeting rooms and common areas were framed using cold formed steel with a wood truss and shingle roof. The exterior was finished with insulated siding and exterior stone feature with matching stone on the lobby fireplace. The Timber frame entry is a beautiful focal point of the hotel.
