Walters is responsible for the supply and installation of structural steel and metal deck, along with some feature stairs.
Being downtown Calgary there is limited space for storage so all deliveries must be managed to ensure efficient execution. Steel construction will begin in November 2021 and continue for approximately 12 months. This means that the Calgary Stampede of 2022 needed to be considered in our site planning.
