Helping the Architect’s “VISION”
become reality
A catalogue of standard shapes, sizes and finishes should not limit an Architect’s Vision. Through an iterative process involving creativity, technical savvy and patience; Nelson plays a critical role in ensuring a designer’s vision culminates in a manufacturable architectural solution.

Pearson International Airport, Toronto
We were entrusted to design and manufacture the largest ceiling system contracted nationwide (500,000 Sq Ft), and are proud of our contribution to the construction of Canada’s most spectacular Airport – Terminal 1 of the Toronto Pearson International.
Over the course of 18 months, our engineering group's design and manufacturing resources produced close to 70,000 panels and other fabricated components. The project planning and execution required thousands of hours of Project Management and coordination of internal activities with site conditions and logistical constraints, in correlation with five other organizations contributing know-how and resources.
Manufactured from painted aluminum or mirror-finish stainless steel, the multitude of ceiling and fascia panels were designed to follow a challenging building geometry throughout multiple areas and levels, providing at the same time various functional, acoustical and aesthetic properties.
