On Friday, the Saskatchewan government published an independent audit through a third of the saskatchewan Hospital facility in North Battleford (SHNB) and is acting on recommendations to address known deficiencies and governance and processes.
“The government has introduced this independent audit to fully perceive the condition of the facility to ensure the protection of patients and their families,” said Central Services Minister Ken Cheveldayoff.”Auditing is a snapshot in time that provides a basis for remedying any government-free deficiencies under the exclusive protections provided through the Public-Private Partnership (P3) Project Agreement.”
After an Application for Proposal (RFP) process, JPH Consulting decided to conduct an audit of the quality structure of materials, equipment, hard work and labor in the structure phase; and a review of the processes used the design, structure and periods of operation to review its accession to the P3 Project Agreement between Access Prairies Partnership (PPP) and the Saskatchewan Government.
The structure audit experienced a variety of deficiencies and problems related to the structure, and noted that most parts are not unforeseen in an installation of this size. The audit also indicates that the facility structure meets the needs set out in the allocation agreement..
Central paints with APP to process elements, prioritizing compliance with building code, chimney code and protection requirements.

“Ensuring the protection of patients and staff at Saskatchewan North Battleford Hospital has been and continues to be our priority,” said Graham Capital president and APP OWNER and Graham’s CHIEF Financial Officer Tim Heavenor.”This facility has had its challenges, many of which have already been resolved free of charge for the rest of the people of Saskatchewan.We are committed to addressing the remaining problems described in the audit report, so that patients and staff can continue to provide and obtain solutions in a modern intellectual conditioning center.
The evaluation of the procedure showed that while the quality assurance and commissioning plans were in a position to advise the structure phase, the plans were fully implemented due to the lack of clarity of roles and responsibilities, in addition, formal approval and other procedures were systematically followed in accordance with the allocation agreement , resulting in some deficiencies in record-keeping documentation.
“This complex task presented demanding situations and we learned from this delight that while we have strong plans in place, we want more powerful governance so that formal plans and processes are strictly followed,” saskBuilds Minister Gordon Wyant said.”These tutorials will be implemented for long-term assignments, adding classic and P3 versions.”
Here are the conclusions of group2 Architecture Interior Design Ltd.related to compatibility and finishing:
Our findings from the Saskatchewan Hospital audit in North Battleford concluded that the compatibility and end of maximum architectural products are well executed, but that there are some main considerations that need to be addressed additionally and addressed immediately.
As a general rule, the execution in the finish and structure structure is integral to a competent level, deficiencies have been observed in the installation to varying degrees, however this is not unforeseen in an installation of this size.The caulking of other materials, the variety and installation of the finishes, the arrangement and design of the structures sometimes met the needs of the transfer contract, however, we had several considerations as follows:
Several doors in chimney place separations where the door valve did not appear to have an adequate resistance index to where the chimney is located or where mandatory hardware (girlfriends, gaskets) was not included.
A technique that confuses anti-ligature needs because many doors have anti-ligature handles, but parallel arm doors are fixed inside the frame.Door closures, floors or a hinged door cabinet are the most suitable answers to meet anti-ligature needs.
XY portico rails in bariatric patient rooms should be fixed at the ceiling point as required on the AP. They are fixed under the ceiling from poles and provide a significant ligature risk. In addition, only one lane leading bathroom appears to have been installed, while the other observed rooms do not have a bath lane, which does not appear to meet AP requirements.
It was observed that the exit routes differ from the planned ones and no exceptions or deviations can be found. Also, in the workshop area, an exit path leads to a swing gate that does not meet the National Building Code needs for an exit. These portions are expected to be huge enough to require two unsealed evacuations as well. The output and protection of the Americans deserve to be tested in more detail at the installation.
The sprinkler policy, especially on the exit stairs, seemed limited, it was noted that sometimes a head was provided on the most sensitive landing of the ladder and another on the lower landing, but none on the intermediate levels.to verify compliance with the building code.
The staff had noticed several considerations about acoustics throughout the facility, adding the video court, guest center and management and download sets where you can listen to safe chat rooms from the lobby and where the internal acoustics of the room are so harsh that the judges use video the court formula is not able to listen to the patient.In addition, a patient’s wing lacked sound insulation on the walls separating the bathrooms from the hallway; it is not known how many other spaces were also lost.and sweeps, did not fit or was absolutely absent.
Complete acoustic concerns: the majority of ventilation internal the construction is very noisy.The workarea of the regional management suite is very problematic and does constitute a area conducive to occupation.
The orientation is very complicated inside the construction due to the lack of access to the exterior perspectives for the orientation and resolution of the design to use a very limited color palette. The selection to call river wings or Prairie View is not very effective as there is little access to outdoor prospects outside the wings of patients.
The wooden bumper in the main corridors in the uninsured component of the installation seems to be required according to the AP, however, there is a fear that when it suffers a general wear, it will become a porous curtain that will result in intellectual property fears.
We consider that the above points, i.e. those related to non-public protection and anti-ligation, deserve to be dealt with immediately.

Here are Read Jones Christoffersen’s main findings in the construction envelope:
With the exception of the following, the external parts of the construction envelope on the floor indicate paintings in them as the constructions of their age and construction:
Condensation was observed on the internal surfaces of exterior doors and windows.In the exterior doors, uns sealing joints were observed between the door frames and doors, resulting in bloodless air infiltration and condensation on the internal surfaces.In windows, the bureaucracy of condensation on interior surfaces without blood when the degrees of indoor humidity are too high for outdoor temperatures.Thermal fractures between the glazing and nose of the frame can also make a contribution to this problem.A closer look at thermal cuts and glazing is recommended.This will require selective removal of insulating glazing, at which point thermal breakage can be tested and glazing can be checked for glass type, thicknesses and thermal performance.
Air leaks were observed under the sloping ceilings between the platform and the most sensitive walls, which turns out to be similar to a hardware (details) and production problem.Spray foam insulation appears to be used as the main vapor barrier material, which does not appear to properly seal the joints between the outer wall vapor barrier and the sloping ceiling platform.The detail of these spaces also does not join the ceiling vapour barrier to the aerosol foam and steam membrane of the outer cover.resulting in air leaks in those joints. Further examination and repair of these spaces is recommended.
Isolated leaks were observed on the balcony and in the locations of the outer walls.These spaces require additional examination and repairs, including, but are limited to, air/steam barriers, repairs and external sealants.
External sealant deficiencies were observed everywhere. This challenge deserves to be solved next heat season to avoid any new influx of loose water and any possible moisture penetration into the outer walls and balconies and soffite assemblies.
Here are the findings of TYZ Engineering in a mechanical review:
– Seventy-five (75) pieces comply with Annex 3.
– Twenty-five (25) pieces met the requirements of Annex 3.
– Eighteen (18) pieces may simply not be checked in the site review.
In general, mechanical installation, appliances and appliances were advertising.
The parts reviewed that did not meet the needs of Exhibit 3 covered all facets of the mechanical system. Below is a pattern of disorders considered unsuitable for Annex 3:
– Lack of free space for appliances
– Lack of good enough vibration isolation in the equipment
– Isolation that does comply with the power code
A number of parts may simply not be verified due to a lack of documentation, and an additional review should be performed to ensure that the operation and maintenance manuals are complete with all the appliance data sheets, maintenance programs, and verification and commissioning forms.
Overhangs more than four feet deep were not given to fire.Further investigation of the cantilevered structure is recommended to ensure compliance with NFPA thirteen.

These are the findings of the Civil Engineering Review/Audit (ISL) of ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd.
Our findings from the Audit of Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford concluded that, in general, the end and quality of smooth and harsh landscapes vary on site, but in general they should be poor.Many deficiencies have been observed from one end to the other and range depending on the location of the site.Underground utilities may simply not be observed, however, designs as built involve many adjustments to the original design designs.There are more vital considerations that need to be addressed more and addressed.
Nor can you observe the sanitary sewers, however, a nauseating smell near the front main came from the sanitary fat tray.unlike floating substances, it also collects sediments and slabs.The unit smells because it is probably full of grease, forged sanitary waste and sediment; and wants to be cleaned up.The fitness authority reconsiders its overall desire for the aircraft and its majortenance obligations.
During installation, during box inspections, groundwater was reported to have leaked into the sanitary sewer and pumping station.There is no record of whether this has been corrected. A CCTV video review of existing sanitary sewer infrastructure is recommended.Pumping and unloading volumes of the pumping station.
Underground infrastructure related to the pumping station may not be observed.Questions were raised when the drawings were made.
– Is the pumping station connected to an emergency generator (via electricity)?
– What are the design limitations required by the sanitary garage balloon?
– Maintenance or cleaning of gravity sewer plumbing accessories related to the lifting station and garage tank.
The underground infrastructure of the water formula can be observed. Our review of the drawings as built revealed:
– Hydrants and connecting pipes are properly sized for chimney locations.There were no effects of checking the chimney site.
– The north water connection is too close to the SaskTel line (as built).
– Part of the 250 mm water line along the stream seems to collide with the existing bridge (as built).
The underground sewer infrastructure of typhoons may simply not be observed; however, the surface and transport formula revealed many significant disorders with typhoon drainage.For example:
– Poorly classified and poorly classified collection tanks.
– Many sewers do not have the definitive remedy or rolling and erosion is evident.
– The typhoon design calculations are correct, however, the pipes seem to be large enough.
– There is state water where there is a flowing current.
– An infrastructure has been used that is reflected through any design or detail.
– Swale goes out into the pond. 1 rock is buried.
In general, ponds are not complete or lack critical design elements.All ponds are intended to be dry outdoors from a rainy event.Items include:
– The bottoms of the ponds are arranged flat and will drip.
– There is state water in pond 1 and the east front design is superior to the back of the pond.
– The emergency exhaust direction of pond 1 (C01-02.01) is missing.
– There is water status in pond 2.
– · Emergency evacuation of basin 2, last remedy and rolling (C01-02.02) is lacking.
– Basin 2, front structure, missing plate and rock (C01-02.02).
In general, poor quality surface paints or created leveling problems and ponds.It was observed that the track component in the SE corner does not provide trackless connectivity for security controls.
In general, leveling presents significant leveling and drainage problems.Items include:
– Minimal notes in fluffy landscapes, causing puddles.
– Lack of drainage away from buildings.
– Drainage of the roof directed towards the foundations of the construction or drainage of sidewalks.
– Landscaping levels on tracks 4: 1.
– Numerous examples of erosion.
– Leveling along pond 2 seems to exceed slopes of 4: 1.
– There are many examples of frost-prone areas.
– Available for the addition of a wheelchair ramp.
Regarding concrete:
– Rainwater deposits on concrete that indicate insufficient slope.
– Quality of manufacture and deterioration of concrete in construction accesses.
– Concrete lifting on the loading dock.
– Washbasin on the outside of level 2d.
– Cracking, chipping and scraping of concrete in places of the site.
– Concrete deterioration in bench platforms.
The surface of the asphalt presents many examples of water of quality and poor condition where it is intended.Although this is discussed in the AP, the surface qualities would meet the guidelines of local authorities.
Curtain tests should not be performed and it is not possible to determine the actual path of the road.We may not be able to check the heavy asphalt compared to the soft asphalt.
– Longitudinal cracks in the asphalt at the loading dock.
– The width and end of the paved road are mediocre.
Hanna Crosby and Associates’ conclusions regarding the reasons:
One of the biggest considerations of the is the leveling of the landscape and some hard surfaces.Leveling disorders exist when the slopes are too shallow or too steep.
– pond on site;
– poor grass deployment and growth;
– in addition to the point humidity grades for the type of lawn or plant design;
– Naked dirt, muddy conditions, prospective upper erosion and unusable spaces.
The situations of greatest fear where the above was observed were:
– through and next to the aisles on the north side, which creates harmful situations on the roadside for wheelchairs or other functional devices;
– between construction and landscaped embankments removed from the safe component of the installation;
– two very low slope drainage channels directed towards the southeastern automotive park and the typhoon basin.Both channels are routed through flower beds where planting and mulch save you maximum flow and moisture levels the fitness of plant material;
– around the 3 CRU buildings; poor drainage in this affects poor grass growth, lawn saturation, erosion and concrete surface problems;
– in two parking lots where pedestrian lanes cross car parks.
Steep slopes and poor grade transitions have resulted in:
– poor grass implantation;
– hazardous situations for operations;
– that make cutting operations negative for continuous turf fitness.
The situations of greatest fear where the above was observed were:
– the sides and top of the embankments adjacent to the safe component of the installation, as well as around the Cogen units;
– 4 uninsured courtyards in which the maximum allowable slope for arable land appears to be exceeded; in those domains, there is no way to perform maintenance operations without the use of additional measures such as drop harnesses and nailed shoes.
In general, the status quo of the grass is poor.The domain of greatest fear is the southern mastery of construction towards the river.This domain has a very bad seed plant. There are giant spaces between grass bushes and giant spaces of bare land.This is an immediate fear due to the high probability that there are species of weeds in those spaces.
The selection of plant curtains is in accordance with the Project Agreement with respect to local species and the variety of types.Plant curtains are working well, however, as noted above, some fabrics are affected by poor classification.A surprising example of this is where the trees were planted at the back of a ravine near the southeast car park.
In some places, trees have been planted too close to each other, a sidewalk or promenade, or traffic signs.Over time, tree expansion patterns are likely to interfere with those elements, so protection and condition will be adversely affected.
In general, the site is available in terms of walking routes.There is an exception for a walkway in the south parking lot where there are no pedestrian ramps from the end of the bridge.
It should be noted that the ongoing paints to update the ceiling had an effect on the site and its review during the audit day. In the domain of the active structure, we could not read about the internal site of the structure nearby In addition, it is transparent that the roof repair movements broke the site where the access roads to the appliances were created, as well as the adjacent cranes that access the building. We hope that once the roof upgrade responsibilities are completed, all spaces will be restored to the required level.condition in the assignment contract.
