Rideau Journal
A Look Back at 10 Years of Projects
The following are some of the projects we have
completed over the past 10 years
Government of Canada Building
|
1993
Government of Canada Building
Bridgewater, Nova Scotia
As Rideau’s inaugural project in 1993,
the Government of Canada Building in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia,
presented a number of unique challenges. The client required
a modern building with the latest energy-saving materials
and conveniences, but would still conform to the old-style
feel and traditional architecture of the surrounding residential
neighbourhood.
The final design of the project successfully
harmonized the two concerns, ensuring the client had access
to the latest conveniences, and the building complemented
the surrounding neighbourhood.
The Lunenburg Regional Recycling
Facility

1994
The
Lunenburg Regional Recycling Facility
Whynott's
Settlements, Nova Scotia In
1995, the Government of Nova Scotia introduced an ambitious
new program - to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills
by 75 per cent. The province chose the Lunenburg Regional
Recycling Facility, Nova Scotia’s newest state-of-the-art
waste management facility, as the venue to announce that landmark
program.
Designed by Acres International and constructed
by Rideau, this 44,000 sf building houses separation and sorting
equipment for dry recyclables, processing equipment for incoming
organics and mixed waste, and a wide bed vessel composting
system. The facility handles in excess of 25,000 tons of municipal
solid waste annually.
Amsterdam Inn
|
1994
Amsterdam Inn
Sussex, New Brunswick As
Cardinal’s very first project, the Amsterdam Inn in
Sussex, New Brunswick, led the way for countless successful
construction management projects. Constructed over 12 weeks,
the Amsterdam Inn was a considerable opportunity and challenge
for Cardinal. Meeting the specific requirements of all types
of travelers, from families to corporate to disabled guests,
required extensive planning.
The end construction features a specially equipped
disabled suite, executive suites with kitchenettes, meeting
and function facilities including audio-visual capabilities
for groups up to 40, and a general dining area.
