MacKenzie Pumphouse and Reservoir Facility

The one-storey masonry block building was constructed utilizing sloped roof trusses and a veneer envelope. Perched above the 366-metre deep reservoir, Bird used a self-erecting crane to install the rigid and durable lattice form work girder, which allowed the walls and concrete roofing to be formed.
