P19-034 - TD Terrace (16O Front Street) - Dustin Williams - 5
TD Terrace (160 Front Street W) | Toronto, ON

TD Terrace at 160 Front Street West is a 47-story addition to the Toronto skyline. At its crown, a hospitality-inspired space with panoramic views flaunts a dramatic display of Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS), constructed using custom-designed CAST CONNEX Diablo Bolted Splices (DBS).

P21-009 - CTA Damen Green Line - 16
CTA Damen Green Line Station | Chicago, IL

Damen Station on the CTA Green Line—a revival of a transit landmark that first welcomed passengers in 1893 as Robey Station. After a long absence, the new station returns to its roots with a modern design that fuses architectural legacy, advanced engineering, and innovative construction practices. Among its standout features is a glass-covered pedestrian bridge that features CAST CONNEX Diablo Bolted Splices (DBS).

WHY WORK WITH STEEL CASTINGS?

CAST CONNEX cast steel components can be utilized in various applications for buildings, bridges, and specialty structures and can provide significant performance advantages over those produced via conventional steel fabrication.
  1. AESS Applications

    To address architecturally exposed structural steel connections, particularly for structures comprised of HSS or timber

  2. Complex Connections

    To simplify complex geometry, address arduous loading, and provide increased connection strength and/or stiffness.

  3. Structural Requirements

    To improve specific structural requirements, which include improving performance at fatigue-critical connections.

  4. Seismic Applications

    To enhance performance and simplify design in seismic applications

  1. Material optimization

    Cast steel structural components can be designed to offer material savings over their fabricated counterparts.

  2. Enhanced strength and stiffness

    Castings are well-suited for arduously loaded structural connections, where elevated strength or stiffness may be required.

  3. Improved fatigue life

    Utilizing cast nodes in the most crucial connections of a structure can substantially prolong the service life of the entire structure.

  4. Simplified fabrication

    Castings can be used to eliminate complex or heavy weldments and can therefore offer risk reduction and quality improvement to contractors and their clients.

  5. Improved constructability

    Bottom line: castings reduce risk in the field and often provide total installed cost savings.

  6. Aesthetics

    Castings enhance the aesthetic appeal of architecturally exposed structural steel in projects of any size and budget.
