As part of the Vancouver Centerm Expansion Project, VanPile executed major marine-based ground improvement works to support the terminal's increased capacity and expanded footprint. The upgrade boost Centerm's handling capacity by two-thirds, improving port efficiency and goods movement across the south shore.

In partnership with BESIX, VanPile is delivering a world-class LNG export berth in Kitimat, Northern B.C. - a key gateway connecting North America's natural gas supply to global markets. This landmark infrastructure supports the growth of B.C.'s LNG industry and strengthens Canada's role in global energy transition.
To support the expansion of the Mary River Mine in Nunavut, VanPile and its joint venture partner delivered a custom-designed, temporary offloading dock in one of Canada's most remote arctic locations. The dock enabled efficient ship-to-shore transfer of heavy prefabricated modules during the short summer shipping window.
VanPile contributed to the successful and early completion of Canada's busiest container terminal expansion at Deltaport. The project added a third berth and significant container storage capacity, increasing throughput by 600,000 TEUS to meet growing demand in Canadian trade through the West Coast.
VanPile delivered complex marine and structural works for a 10-span precast segmental post-tensioned box girder bridge over the Fraser River. Innovative construction methods - including precast pier cap shells to eliminate cofferdams - earned the project the prestigious Montgomery Award for Construction Innovation.
VanPile delivered ground improvement services for the new TFN Sewage Treatment Plant in Tsawwassen, B.C., installing nearly 800 stone columns to mitigate seismic risk. The Dry Bottom Feed method was chosen to eliminate clean-up time, allowing civil works to proceed immediately and keeping the project on a fast-track schedule.
VanPile completed a targeted remediation and habitat enhancement project within the Vancouver Fraser Port, which included dredging contaminated sediment and constructing a rock berm revetment. The project was completed ahead of schedule and within the environmental window to protect migratory fish species.
To support vessel launch operations in Burrard Inlet, VanPile partnered with Seaspan ULC on the construction of a 7,500 m2 gravel bed and marine habitat offsetting area near MacKay Creek. The work enhanced critical kelp and salmonid habitat and was delivered in accordance with Fisheries Act Authorization requirements.
To ensure safe ferry operation during low water conditions, VanPile carried out dredging of the Kootenay Lake Ferry channel's shallow sections. The project involved precision removal of material from eight areas and approved environmental disposal, supporting reliable navigation through the West Arm.
