Project Silo

Project: Silo – Mississauga | High-Risk Structural Demolition & Concrete Reconstruction

Corcon Construction was awarded a massive, high-risk concrete restoration and structural demolition project in Mississauga, requiring advanced engineering, complex sequencing, and precision execution across multiple reinforced concrete silo structures.

This project involved the complete removal of a suspended concrete roof slab system, connecting all silos—an operation that required extensive temporary support, structural analysis, and engineered demolition procedures to safely dismantle critical load-bearing components.

Corcon crews executed the full removal of structural steel beams using crane-assisted lifts, coordinating closely with engineers to ensure safe extraction while maintaining the integrity of surrounding structures. This phase alone demanded a high level of planning due to working at height, restricted access, and heavy material handling in a confined environment.

To access elevated and complex work zones, Corcon engineered and installed swing stage systems around the entire silo structure, enabling safe execution of demolition and reconstruction activities at height. Following demolition, our team completed the reconstruction of concrete slab edges, utilizing precision dowelling into existing silo walls to restore structural continuity and performance.

Each silo was then separated and upgraded with new high-performance waterproofing systems, transforming the structure into a series of independent, watertight units designed for long-term durability.

This was a high-risk, engineering-intensive project, requiring continuous coordination between Corcon, consultants, and site teams to manage safety, structural stability, and execution under demanding conditions.
