Fraser River Pile & Dredge participated in the reconstruction of the Centerm terminal on the south side of Burrard Inlet. This project involved a major upgrade to the existing container terminal facility to expand the operating capacity, including both land and marine construction.
FRPD’s scope included:
- 12M Berth extension
- Dredging to deepen the Berth to minus 15.5m depth
- 1067mm diameter pipe piles
- Vibro densification
- Site services
Challenges:
- Reconstruction of a major container facility without disruption to marine, rail and trucking operations
- Adhering to strict environmental requirements protecting air and water quality
- Due to heavy design loading in the container facility stringent quality control guidelines and practices needed to be followed.
