Beck Engineering (1992) Ltd.
Beck Engineering (1992) Ltd. is a civil structural engineering firm based in
Calgary, Alberta that started operations in 1976. They offer engineering and drafting
services for Oil & Gas industrial facilities throughout the world and particularly in
Western Canada.
Challenge: to build interior space, including a mezzanine level, while the base
building structure was still being completed.
By purchasing two bays of a brand new building in northeast Calgary, Beck
Engineering is able to enjoy the benefits of ownership. The challenge of the project
was to create a functional office environment from two bays of raw space complete
with multiple washrooms, offices, open areas, meeting spaces, a mezzanine level,
stairs and appropriate fire exits.
Extensive review and use of the Alberta Building Code on this project was necessary
to ensure compliance. Their colour and finishes were selected using their existing
reception desk as a starting point and reflects the sophisticated, contemporary
energy of this growing, vibrant group. The new kitchen doubles as a meeting space,
layout area and multi-purpose room; the boardroom doubles as a billiards area.
Exterior windows that were added during base building construction allow natural
daylight to filter through the space. By focusing our design features on a couple of
areas, the cost of the build out remained quite modest. Beck Engineering remains one
of our best and most supportive clients!
