Dredging & Environmental Protection Services | Vancouver Pile Driving

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.

VanPile delivered a complex design-build site remediation project involving contaminated sediment removal, wharf reconstruction, and the installation of long-term environmental controls. The work was completed with minimal disruption to the client’s operations, despite challenging material handling requirements.

VanPile completed maintenance dredging of a secondary channel in Ladner, B.C., removing 160,000 m3 of material over a 2.5 km stretch. The project required careful coordination with local vessel traffic and private owners to maintain safe operations in this active waterway.
