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.
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.
The Harbourside Lot D development consists of four residential towers up to 10 stories high with below-grade parking. Due to challenging soil conditions on site, extensive ground improvement was necessary to meet geotechnical performance requirements. VP Foundations was contracted to install both standard and grouted stone columns to support the structures.
To support the development of a proposed Sales Centre at Nexen Beach, ground improvement was required to mitigate seismic risks associated with liquefaction and lateral spreading of foreshore soils.
