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.
