Don’t be alarmed if you see steam, or hear a hissing noise over the next couple weeks.
From approximately Saturday, March 23 to Sunday, April 7, boilers at the new hospital will be started up.
During the start-up, the system will be flushed clean using high pressure steam, which will be continuously vented to the building’s exterior.
This venting can be a loud continuous hissing noise and may appear as a 20–30-foot smoke-plume. (This is actually high-pressure steam but can look like smoke.)
Venting will occur on several occasions during the two-week start-up period. Once the steam system is started up and in service, it remains in service.
These boilers will support hospital operations. They will produce the steam used to heat water in the new hospital and support the sterilization of surgical equipment, among other things
No danger or risk
During this start up process and ongoing operations, there is no risk of any hazardous contaminants being expelled.
All work is within the new hospital construction site, and the entire operation will be supervised and secure with safety measures & control zones in place.
All work will also be in accordance with local noise bylaws, between 7am and 7pm.
Emergency services (police and fire) have also been informed.

Starting the morning of Saturday, November 11, as part of construction of the new Mills Memorial Hospital, PCL will be removing the single row of trees along Tetrault Street that start close to Haugland Avenue and end halfway to Keith Avenue.
While this work is taking place, the parking spots that line Tetrault Street, on the east side of the existing hospital’s adjacent parking lot, will be blocked off and unavailable.
The removal of the trees should take a maximum of two days, with the area being blocked off starting Friday night, November 10.
The trees will be removed during the regular construction working hours of 7am to 7pm.
The work is happening over the weekend to minimize impact on hospital parking, patients and staff. Appropriate safety precautions will be in place and the impact on neighbours and traffic should be minimal.
Removing these trees is part of the construction of the new hospital. A landscaping plan is in place for the entire site, with garden beds planned for this area.

Starting this week and over the next couple months, workers will be preparing to pave the road that runs along the west side of the Mills Memorial Hospital property. They will also be developing another 18 temporary unpaved parking spots near Haugland Avenue, south of the new Seven Sisters.
The work may result in a temporary increase of noise, vibration, dust and at times, smells. While these impacts may be unavoidable, as usual, we will minimize their severity and duration wherever and whenever possible.
This work will occur during regular construction site working hours (7am to 7pm). We aim to share more details as the work proceeds. However, the schedule of the work often depends on the conditions needed to perform tasks and this information is not always predictable ahead of time.
Paving will start at the south end of the site, near Haugland Avenue and proceed north towards Keith Avenue and then east, towards Tetrault Street.
The road being paved, currently being used for construction purposes, is the service road for the new hospital. The service road gives service vehicles and delivery trucks safe access to the property while minimizing disruption to emergency, staff, patient and visitor traffic.

More traffic will be coming in and out of Gate 2 on Haugland Avenue.
Construction of the new Seven Sisters, on the southwest corner of the hospital site, has begun. That means more contractors and suppliers are now using the site entrance (Gate 2) on Haugland Avenue, and traffic in this area has increased.
We suggest those who tend to travel or park along Haugland, especially near Eby Street, aim to park elsewhere and be cautious.
The new Seven Sisters is expected to be complete by the end of 2023.
The foundation of the building is now underway and concrete will start to be poured next week.
