The Carleton Martello Tower is a National Historic Site in Saint-John, New Brunswick. Originally built as a defensive structure in the War of 1812, its strategic hilltop location was called into action again more than a century later and it was modified with the addition of a two-storey concrete command post during World War 2. Decades later, uncontrolled water infiltration had caused severe damage to this peculiar hybrid building, destabilizing the entire structure. Watson MacEwen Teramura Architects were retained to rehabilitate the structure, an opportunity to reinterpret its unusual story.
The project included the use of LiDAR scanning to record its original condition, a complex project to repair the original damaged stone structure with locally sourced field stones, comprehensive materials testing, extensive use of digital modelling to develop the construction documents, the incorporation of reclaimed concrete and metal elements from the original structure, and an international search for suitable replacement bricks.
Describe a conservation approach based on the requirements of the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada
Formulate an approach to incorporating digital spatial data into the design of an intervention into an existing historic structure
Formulate construction specifications to facilitate coordination among trades during construction
Develop strategies for specifying and procuring unconventional building materials for work on historic structures.
