Billy Bishop Airport Infrastructure Improvements

Billy Bishop Airport is located on Toronto Island and is an important part of the transportation infrastructure on Toronto’s waterfront as use of the city airport is growing. Annually, more than 2.5 million people use the airport, which offers service to more than 20 cities in Canada and the U.S, with connections to more than 80 international destinations.

Water services on the island dated back to the 1930s were upgraded and water chambers were required so that operations staff can easily enter to manage and maintain the services. The City of Toronto specified the T-1108.01-1 Water Meter Chamber to be installed next to the terminal building.

We manufactured the City of Toronto water chamber in two sections that could easily be assembled onsite. The chamber was composed of a monobase and monotop with outside dimensions of 4.9 m long by 3.5 m wide and 1.3 m high. Each section weighed just over 22 tonnes. The placement of all pieces took less than an hour in total!
