Back to all projects
Engineering Link was retained by St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) to provide full services to oversee the design development, preparation, and contract administration of rehabilitation work on two parkade structures, namely Ramp № 1 and Ramp № 3. The work is phased in two parts due to hospital operations and available funding. The first phase (Parking Ramps № 1 and № 2 work) commenced in Summer of 2021, and the second phase (Parking Ramp № 3) will commence work in the Summer of 2022.
