This comprehensive project highlights the advantages of engaging an Environmental Contractor equipped with the expertise in regulatory and compliance requirements to address diverse environmental issues at a site. The success of this project was driven by a strong emphasis on partnerships and collaboration.
The installation of the PRB at this particular site stands out as a remarkable achievement, being the longest, widest, and deepest PRB ever installed, especially noteworthy considering the challenging tidal environment. The project unfolded in multiple phases, with the initial stage focusing on the rejuvenation and extension of the PRB through caisson drilling.
Subsequent phases of the project encompassed managing and stabilizing contaminated soil. Milestone executed soil excavation, transporting the contaminated soil to on-site storage cells, and ensuring proper disposal at a licensed off-site facility. Additionally, the team constructed new soil holding cells, managed the disposal of various waste streams such as wood poles and concrete, backfilled excavations, and undertook the rehabilitation of site roadways.
Indigenous Engagement:
Vision:
Fostering engagement, partnership, and sustained collaboration across multiple project phases to achieve a successful outcome.
Plan:
Execution of several project phases involved close collaboration with our joint venture partners, KFN Enterprises, and the Kwikwetlem Nation.
Outcome:
In partnership with the Kwikwetlem Nation, Milestone successfully excavated 40,000 m3 of contaminated soil. On-site cells were constructed for the storage of excavated material. The process included confirmatory sampling, with the contaminated soils being disposed of at a licensed off-site facility. Hazardous waste materials underwent segregation and stabilization before shipment. To facilitate bulk cement storage, a cement silo was mobilized to the site.
