SEISMIC UPGRADE (Stave Falls Power Plant)
Original pen & ink drawing issued May 2002
Image size 4.8" high by 7.8" wide (122 mm by 200 mm)
(Low resolution image illustrated)
I was the Job Captain of the architectural team working on this extensive
upgrade and retrofit of the old Stave Falls Power Plant into a museum and
display center. The concrete roof needed to be reinforced, and a web of new
8" x 8" HSS beams were woven between the existing roof structure and attached
at key points. At each end of the building the HSS beams were attached to rock
anchors that were drilled quite deeply, and the beams then tensioned to provide
the required structural support. At the east end of the building the ground rock
had been so badly shattered by explosives during the construction in 1910 that a
large amount was simply dug out by a high hoe, and the hole filled with concrete
to act as the anchor.
It is drawn with Pilot DR pigment ink pens, on OPUS coated drawing paper, 150 gsm
weight. The paper is 15% rag and 85% alpha cellulose acid free, manufactured for OPUS
by the company that makes the paper that Canadian money is printed on. The drawing is
archivally matted with acid free 4-ply matteboard and liner, and framed in a 16" x 20"
OPUS metal exhibition frame.
