PROJECTS
See below for a selection of the projects Thornfield or members of our team have worked on.

Prince Albert Victoria Hospital (Steel Stud)
We completed (and are completing) design and field reviews for the steel stud walls and ceilings for this hospital in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

Entry Portal and Table (Structural Steel, Aluminum, Concrete, and Timber)
We are providing the sructural engineering for a custom picnic table and entry portal at a City of Chilliwack park. Our team is collaborating closely with a local fabricator and contractor to ensure the design meets client specifications while serving the public effectively. Rendering by HausKraft Studios.

Broadway Subway Stations (Steel Stud)
Our team is supporting the structural design of steel stud systems for Vancouver’s Broadway Subway project, which includes six stations. Given the scale and complexity, careful coordination with multiple consultants has been essential throughout construction.

Structural Steel Frame for RF Chamber (Structural Steel)
This 70'x30'x16' steel frame was designed as an "exo-skeleton" to support the installation of a Radio Frequency Chamber which is to be installed in Wisconsin, USA. Thornfield has team members who are also registered in several US states. This project required extremely close coordination with the RF chamber supplier to ensure exact fit and no penetrations into the chamber.

Shop (Wood)
A member of our team served as engineer-of-record for this local shop. Through close coordination with the architect and general contractor, we delivered a cost-effective and efficient structural solution. The design utilized short shear walls and large door openings to create a unique shear wall system, eliminating the need for moment frames and maintaining conventional construction methods.

Rack Evaluation and Certification (Structural Steel)
We provide structural evaluation and certification of rack systems using advanced analysis tools, including RFEM 6. This technology allows us to model racks (and other structural elements) with precision, confirm load ratings, and quickly verify compliance with structural requirements. The project shown here involved a straightforward load evaluation and certification.

PNE Amphitheatre (Steel Stud)
We were engaged to provide engineering for the steel stud systems on this landmark project. Initially retained by the general contractor for pricing drawings of the parapets forming the arch exterior, we were later brought on by the wall and ceiling contractor to complete engineering for the remainder of the project. Rendering by Revery Architecture.

Masonry Veneer
We have provided engineering for numerous masonry veneer projects, including the one shown here. Our expertise in both steel stud and wood framing enables seamless coordination with other consultants to ensure proper backing and structural integration. Each system is carefully designed to achieve durability and maintain structural adequacy.

Electrical Room (Steel Stud)
We were engaged to provide steel stud engineering for a specialized scope within an existing building. The client required a fast turnaround, and our team successfully delivered the required drawings within one week, well ahead of the two-week deadline.

MEI Renovation (Steel Stud)
This renovation project required steel stud solutions to address unforeseen site conditions as they arose. Our design work ensured the building was completed on time and ready for students returning at the end of the summer.
