CAST CONNEX celebrates at the 2024 CISC Ontario Awards of Excellence in Steel Construction

We are thrilled to share that three projects featuring CAST CONNEX components received awards at the 2024 Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) Ontario Awards of Excellence in Steel Construction.

• 160 Front Street, TD Terrace
• Ādisōke, Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada (OPL-LAC)
• St. Lawrence Market North (Toronto, ON)

Announced in April, 2025, these prestigious awards celebrate innovation, collaboration, and excellence in steel design and construction across the province, and we are proud to have played a role in these standout achievements.

For TD Terrace, CAST CONNEX designed and supplied custom-sized Diablo Bolted Splices (DBS) for several AESS HSS members featured in the building’s striking crown. These connectors support both the constructability and aesthetic ambitions of the skyline-defining tower.

To support the tree-inspired columns supporting the impressive curved roof of Ādisōke OPL-LAC, CAST CONNEX supplied 248 standardized Universal Pin Connectors, enabling seamless integration of form and function within this landmark civic space.

At the St. Lawrence Market North building, CAST CONNEX contributed custom steel castings for the AESS column capitals in both interior and exterior locations, as well as Universal Pin Connectors for the exposed lobby braces—helping to bring structural beauty and performance to this beloved community space.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the project teams, engineers, architects, fabricators, and collaborators involved in these incredible projects. CAST CONNEX is proud to be your partner in advancing innovative structural solutions and shaping our built environment.
