Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council;
1. That Report CS -17 -93 be received for information; and
2. That Report CS -17 -93 be forwarded to the Orono Arena
Board and informed of action taken by Council.
1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 In the 1993 Capital Budget Program approved by Council, staff
identified the legislative requirement to conduct a structural
adequacy inspection at the Darlington Sports Centre and the
Orono Community Arena.
1.2 The Guidelines under the Ministry of Labour require that
in the investigation of a structure, an Engineer must:
1) make a detailed examination of the structural members and
connections to determine their condition; and
2) undertake an analysis of the stresses in the members and
connections to evaluate the structural adequacy of the
structure; and
3) report on the structural adequacy of the building as
shown by the examination and structural analysis in
relation to the Ontario Building Code requirements.
1.3 The Municipality engaged the services of Totten Sims
Hubicki Associates to carry out the requirements of the
Guidelines for the investigation and repair of an arena
structure.

A review of the concrete members of the arena seating has also been carried out and it is
concluded that the seating and supports are adequate for the load requirements of the Ontario
Building Code.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Roof Deck
The timber roof deck is in good condition and is adequate to support the loading requirements
of the Ontario Building Code.
Open Web Steel Joists
The open web steel joists are in good condition and are adequate to support the loading
requirements of the Code.
Exterior Walls
The exterior concrete block masonry walls are in good condition and are adequate to support
the load requirements of the Code. Cracks in the concrete block masonry walls should be re-
pointed. Shrinkage cracks should be caulked to enable movement to take place. The joints
in the eavestrough should be caulked as required to prevent deterioration of the masonry block
walls.

Seating
The arena seating is in fair to good condition and adequate to support the loading
requirements of the Code.
Dressing and Electrical Rooms
The timber deck roof system and structural steel members are adequate to support the loading
requirements of the Code.
Ice Machine Room, Foyer and Stairwell
The concrete roof slabs of the ice machine room, foyer and stairwell are in good condition and
are adequate to support the loading requirements of the Code.
Lobby, Cafeteria and Meeting Room Areas
The concrete floor and roof slabs are in good condition and are adequate to support the
loading requirements of the Code. The vertical crack in the stairwell in the north -east corner
of the lobby area should be monitored further. The south wall of the arena area may be
sealed from the exterior to prevent moisture infiltration causing the paint to blister.
Furnace Room
The timber deck roof system and structural steel members are in good condition and are
adequate to support the loading requirements of the Code. The steel supporting beam should
be painted (touch up) as requried to prevent future corrosion.

ORONO ARENA AND COMMUNITY HALL
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
1. It is concluded that the Community Centre structure is in good condition and is adequate
in relation to the loading requirements of the Ontario Building Code.
2. The roof system over the building is in fair condition and relatively leakproof since the
repairs and painting were carried out. We also note that the type of metal roof with
exposed fasteners is subject to leakage as the fasteners deteriorate and work loose. A
continuing programme to detect roof leaks and repair the loose fasteners will be required
to maintain the integrity of the building roof system.
3. The caulked joint in the concrete slab over the parimutuel betting area should be
monitored and repaired as needed. We expect that leaks may occur at the joint between
different elements of the concrete.
4. The minor cracks that are present in the exterior masonry walls around the building are
not considered to be of major significance at this time. The cracks should be routed out
and caulked to prevent moisture infiltration and damage to the wall materials.
5. The interior structural steel columns should be cleaned and painted to prevent further
corrosion. Special care must be taken in the cleaning and preparation in order to ensure
proper adhesion of the paint.
