Another Successful Excavation!

Our team safely and efficiently removed contaminated soil and backfilled with natural gravel – a key step in soil remediation.

Soil remediation is all about cleaning and restoring soil by removing harmful contaminants like heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and industrial waste. It’s essential for protecting health, water quality, and ecosystems while turning polluted land into safe, productive spaces.

Whether for agriculture, construction, or creating a greener future, we’re here to help! DM us to start your project today.

Effortless Screening at Our Burnaby Depot!

The soil we process often contains large rocks, asphalt, and concrete chunks—but not anymore! We’ve installed a grizzly screener to handle it all with ease:

Efficient filtering: Unwanted materials slide down the screen into a concrete bin.

Clean results: Filtered dirt drops into the center, ready to be scooped and transported.

This setup has been a game-changer for us, and it could be for you too! If you’re looking for a similar solution, DM us—we’d love to help!

Wrapping up the Tsawwassen project!

Every lot in this development features a custom water retention tank for stormwater management. Here’s how we built them:

✅ Triple-layer protection: Each tank is meticulously wrapped in filter cloth, a non-permeable liner, and another layer of filter cloth.
✅ Accessibility built-in: Includes a cleanout and inspection chamber for easy maintenance.
✅ Solid foundation: Tanks are installed on level 3/4” clear crush gravel, surrounded by 12” of clear crush on all sides.
✅ Smart stormwater routing: An outlet pipe connects the tanks to the main sump, ready for the future homes.

What makes these different from detention tanks from our previous post?

These retention tanks release stormwater into the city system through a control T with a 22 mm or***ce. If the flow of water is greater then the flow through the or***ce then the storm water is routed into the retention tanks to store the excess water until levels stabilize.

The control T includes:
- A metal trash screen to prevent blockages.
- A flap gate with a rope for emergency control.
- A overflow hole at the top of the T for severe situations

Stormwater is managed safely, efficiently, and sustainably for the long term!

Back at it with another project in North Vancouver!

This stormwater detention tank was installed for a newly built home to manage excess water effectively.

Here’s how it works: When water overflow enters the main property sump, the excess flows into the detention tank. From there, it slowly drains into the ground or back into the sump once the water levels stabilize.

The Installation Process:
1️⃣ Excavation Prep: The pit bottom is leveled with 3/4” clear crush gravel.
2️⃣ Lining: Black filter fabric is rolled out to line the pit.
3️⃣ Tank Assembly: Once assembled, the tank is wrapped with the fabric from the previous step.
4️⃣ Piping & Cleanouts: Two cleanouts are added, along with a perfectly level inlet and outlet pipe connected to the sump.
5️⃣ Gravel Fill: All sides are surrounded by 12” of clear crush gravel.
6️⃣ Backfill & Finish: Finally, the tank is backfilled and ready for landscaping.

It’s a precise and detailed process, but the result is a system that keeps your property safe from water damage.

Another successful concrete project in the books! We recently tackled the challenge of pouring a concrete slab for a local farmers market beneath an existing structure. Our scope of work covered everything from grading to forming, rebar reinforcement, concrete pumping, and finishing with a light broom texture and saw cuts to prevent cracking.
