Team lead in existing hydroelectric dam refurbishment and update in existing facilities for BC Hydro and Fortis BC. The dams were constructed 90 years ago and the years of exposure to the elements have taken their toll. Fortis has undertaken a compressive refurbishment program to ensure these facilities continue to serve the industries and homes on the BC Hydro grids. WIC continues to work with Fortis and BC Hydro for ongoing concrete repairs, maintenance and upgrades.
The development of Fairview Terminals into “The New World Port” started with this project. The Joint Venture team of Western Industrial Contractors Ltd. and Fraser River Pile and Dredge undertook this project. The project entailed removing the existing dock surface structure, installing new deep-water piling and constructing new concrete beams and decks to support new crane rails.
