Sharewares.ca is a business is that help accelerate Vancouver's transition to a circular (zero-waste) economy using innovative technology and the city's existing infrastructure.
My role at Sharewares.ca as project lead was to help plan, design and upgrade the commercial building the company is currently located in. My responsibility was to upgrade the current capabilities to increase capacity for cleaning and sanitizing reusable food containers. I reported directly to the the CEO of Sharewares, and wrote an extensive final "how to design and build your own Sharewares facility" report for the complete project.
The scope of this project included sourcing and liaising with engineers, city planning and inspectors, electricians and plumbers to facilitate the building's water and electrical system upgrade.
I was also tasked with assist in the service design of the "Collection stations" for the products as well as do the process design for the facility, working with the ware washers to optimize and consider ergonomics in their daily interactions for the best and safest possible flow of work. I designed, sourced and built the complete HVAC and makeup air system for this facility.
