Description
Milestone Environmental Contracting (Milestone), as a subcontractor to Pacific Blasting and Demolition, was awarded the site grading, remedial excavation and backfill portion of a larger overall project at the Westshore Coal Terminal facility in Delta BC. Westshore Terminal had constructed new office buildings and wanted their old offices demolished, and the surrounding area remediated and graded. In addition, several large pits (dumper pit, sludge pit) required backfill by a combination of virgin import gravels and surplus onsite gravels generated during site grading/cut/fill. Involved in the building demolition was hazardous material abatement.
