Hi Colleagues,
I am working on a project in Ottawa, Ontario, where we need to open a new basement access door. The door is only 6" from a steel beam pocket, and of course, as per the building code, this 8" wall is not reinforced. What is your opinion about the main points that need to be verified, and the best practice in order to avoid costly demolition and re-construction of a reinforced wall section?
Thanks
