FRPD was contracted by LFR Environmental to construct a cutoff wall along portions of the Kinder Morgan property line at their North Vancouver facility. This wall was 280m in length and utilized the vibro beam injection method.
The site was challenging for a slurry wall installation; cobble obstructions, numerous utilities, varying soil conditions, overhead obstructions, and working directly adjacent to Burrard Inlet and the marine ecosystem. Ultimately, a vibro beam injection method to install the 15m-16m deep x 1m wide wall was chosen, and FRPD was selected to develop an installation system and equipment to meet the client’s requirements.
