TCF West’s services include polished concrete, polished concrete toppings, terrazzo, epoxy floors, F-min grinding, concrete repair, surface preparation, and more.
Recently, TCF West worked with general contractor PCL to install polished concrete and terrazzo flooring inlay for FortWhyte Alive’s new Buffalo Crossing, an 18,000-square foot, multi-purpose building located at 2505 McGillivray Blvd. The building is set to open to the public sometime in spring 2025 and will accommodate a variety of programming and outdoor education opportunities. Buffalo Crossing’s unique mass timber design incorporates elements of Indigenous culture and connects to the rest of FortWhyte Alive’s extensive trail system via a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge across Muir Lake. It will be accessible by public transportation and has already received the 2023 Design Award from the Passive House Network and the Metropolis Planet Positive Award for its innovative, sustainable design.
