Structural Engineer Consultants Announcement | Meadows Mile Professional Centre

Continuing our introduction of our excellent consultant team working on the Meadows Mile Professional Centre: Introducing our Structural Engineer: Bryan Roney of Tomecek Roney Little & Associates Ltd.

Bryan is a Principal and Senior Project Manager for TRL & Associates Ltd. He has over 23 years of experience in his field and leads the business development team at TRL & Associates. TRL & Associates have worked on many large-scale developments including, but not limited to, high-rise, hospitality, and commercial. They are even responsible for the structure of recreational facilities like Westside Recreation Centre and Chinook Cinemas. Their website details their Commercial/Office Design Philosophy as follows:
"The design and detailing of commercial structures has become increasingly more challenging to achieve the open spaces and flexibility required of today's demanding market. The structural design must not only rise to meet these challenges, but must achieve it in combination of producing a cost effective design within the confines of the product budget. The development of innovative, cost effective solutions to incorporate long structural spans, enhanced structural performance, and integrated functional requirements has become common place in today's designs of commercial space. Optimization of the structural design in terms of performance and economics is of paramount importance to the project. Design optimization would include material minimization, consideration of local trade and transportation capabilities and local construction techniques."

We are thrilled to have Bryan Roney and TRL & Associates as part of the Meadows Mile Professional Centre team.
