🔬 Innovation in Action at BCP: PAG/ARD Testing

On Metro Vancouver’s Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project, the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP) Environment Team is pushing boundaries with real-time geochemical analysis right in the field.

Featured here are three of the experts driving this innovation:
👷‍♂️ Ammar Keykoni – Environmental Manager (Pomerleau)
🌱 Maeve Hildebrand – Environmental Coordinator (Pomerleau)
🧪 Dustin Venhuizen – Environmental Specialist (Hatfield Consultants)

⚡ Real-Time Results, Smarter Decisions
By bringing the LECO CS744 analyzer on-site, we’ve reduced testing turnaround time from 3–5 days to under 2 minutes. Using high-temperature combustion (up to 1,400°C) and advanced infrared detection, we can measure carbon and sulphur content instantly, key indicators for acid-generating potential (AP) and neutralization potential (NP).

🛡️ A “Safety First” Approach
BCP is going beyond industry standards by adopting a more conservative neutralization potential ratio (NPR) threshold of 2.5 (vs. the typical 2.0), ensuring stronger protection for the environment. We’re also conducting a carbon correlation study to further refine our neutralization calculations.

✅ Built-In Quality & Compliance
We pair speed with rigor:
✔ Every 5th sample is validated by an external certified lab
✔ Continuous QA/QC supports internal accuracy and research
✔ Processes are under QEP review to meet—and exceed—provincial standards

🌍 Why This Matters
• Reduced carbon footprint from transport and equipment idling
• Precise, real-time material classification
• Faster decision-making to keep construction moving efficiently

This is what innovation and environmental stewardship look like on the ground. 🌿

🔹 Meet Michael Scott Jolly – Office Engineer at BCP 🔹

Representing EBC inc., Michael Scott Jolly is an Office Engineer on Metro Vancouver’s Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project, bringing fresh perspective and strong technical curiosity to the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP) team.

Michael joined the project during the pre mobilization phase in 2024, completing an internship with EBC inc. After graduating with a degree in Civil Engineering, he was invited to return to the team full time—an opportunity he was excited to accept. Now, with nearly one year in the construction industry, Michael is building a solid foundation in complex infrastructure delivery.

In his role as Office Engineer, Michael thrives on exposure to diverse engineering challenges and values learning from the depth of knowledge across the project team.
Michael has strong personal ties to Thailand, one of the most interesting places he’s visited, thanks to extended family living there. A tradition that remains close to his heart is Thanksgiving gatherings, where catching up with friends and family over great food is always the highlight.

When it comes to downtime, Michael enjoys a steak dinner (any variation will do), appreciates movies and TV shows—especially the artistry behind visual effects—and unwinds by swimming in a river on hot days or relaxing with herbal tea when the weather turns cold.

A fun fact most people don’t know: Michael can play the bagpipes, a skill he developed through years of training as an army cadet. His favourite season is fall, when colourful scenery meets the first cool air after summer, and at home he’s kept company by Milo, his tuxedo cat.

Michael’s early career is just getting started, but his curiosity, adaptability, and enthusiasm for learning make him a valued part of the BCP team as they deliver one of Metro Vancouver’s most important infrastructure projects.

🔹 Meet Stephen Green – Chief Construction Superintendent at BCP 🔹

With over four decades of construction experience—most of it deep underground—Stephen Green brings a lifetime of tunnelling expertise to the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP), proudly representing EBC inc.

Stephen got his start in construction back in 1984 as a labourer, moving into tunnel work in 1989. Since then, his career has taken him across the globe, including major projects in New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, and India. Today, he’s applying that wealth of knowledge to one of Metro Vancouver’s most significant infrastructure upgrades: the Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project.

💬 “I’ve followed this project since it was first envisioned in 2018. When a colleague asked if I’d be interested if a position opened up, the answer was yes.”

As Chief Construction Superintendent, Stephen is known for his tunnel expertise and steady leadership: guiding teams, supporting safe operations, and keeping the work moving with precision and purpose.

Stephen grew up in Cromwell, Central Otago, a small town in New Zealand’s South Island known for its cherries, stone fruits, and now its world renowned wine scene with more than 120 wineries in the region.

When it comes to downtime, Stephen keeps things simple: sandwiches or a good steak & pepper pie are his comfort foods of choice. And his favourite travel memory? Japan—“where ancient culture meets the future.”

A fun fact most people don’t know: Stephen is a chef, and he loves blending traditional cooking with Asian flavours and techniques. If he could instantly master a skill, it would be golf—“it takes a lot of skill to hit that small white ball, aye!”

He’s also curious to try pickleball, prefers winter thanks to his rugby roots, starts his day with coffee, and winds down with what he affectionately calls “brown bubbly water.” His go to rewatchables? The Shawshank Redemption and The Blues Brothers—timeless classics he never tires of.

Stephen’s career spans continents, cultures, and countless kilometres of tunnel—but at the heart of it all is the same steady passion: building meaningful infrastructure that lasts.

🔍 A closer look at the Chilco shaft site – Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project

While the Centre shaft site often takes centre stage, the Chilco Street shaft site is a critical part of Metro Vancouver’s Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project. This site is where crews are working hard to build the infrastructure that will connect the new tunnel to the existing water system.

From above, you can see the complexity of the work underway – excavation, staging, and coordination all happening in a tight urban footprint near Stanley Park’s edge - next to tennis courts, the community garden, and Lost Lagoon. It’s a reminder that every component of this project, big or small, deserves attention and care.

Burrard-Chilco Partnership is proud to be part of this effort alongside Metro Vancouver and our partners, delivering a project that strengthens the region’s water supply for the future.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

🔍 Gros plan sur le site du puits Chilco – Projet de tunnel d’alimentation en eau de Stanley Park

Bien que le site du puits central soit souvent sous les projecteurs, le site du puits de la rue Chilco est une partie essentielle du projet de tunnel d’alimentation en eau du parc Stanley de Metro Vancouver. C’est ici que les équipes travaillent d’arrache-pied pour construire l’infrastructure qui reliera le nouveau tunnel au réseau d’eau existant.

À vol d’oiseau, on peut voir la complexité des travaux en cours – excavation, mise en place et coordination, le tout dans un espace urbain restreint à la lisière du parc Stanley, à côté des terrains de tennis, du jardin communautaire et du Lost Lagoon. Cela nous rappelle que chaque aspect de ce projet, grand ou petit, mérite attention et soin.

Burrard-Chilco Partnership est fier de contribuer à ce projet qui renforce l’approvisionnement en eau de la région pour l’avenir, en collaboration avec Metro Vancouver et nos partenaires.

👀 Take a look at this!

If you’ve walked through Stanley Park or along West Georgia Street recently, you might have noticed a big pipe behind green fencing weaving through the trees and running alongside the road. That’s not art—it’s engineering in action. This is the temporary overland pipe, now fully installed and operational as part of Metro Vancouver’s Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project. Why does it matter?

➡️ It’s a 700-metre flexible pipe, temporarily carrying water while crews prepare to replace a water main that has served the region since the 1930s.

➡️ It runs mostly at ground level to minimize disruption, with sections tucked underground to keep pedestrian paths and roads open.

➡️ The pipe goes from nearby Denman Street, running parallel to West Georgia Street in Devonian Harbour Park, along Pipeline Road to the Rose Garden in Stanley Park.

➡️ Key connections at Denman Street, Rose Garden Lane, and near Chilco Street ensure water keeps flowing—even to the pumping station.

The temporary overland pipe is a small but critical piece of a much bigger story: modernizing water infrastructure for a growing region while respecting the park’s natural beauty.



--------------------------------------------------------------

👀 À voir !

Si vous avez récemment traversé le parc Stanley ou longé la rue West Georgia, vous avez peut-être remarqué un gros tuyau derrière une clôture verte, serpentant entre les arbres et longeant la route. Ce n’est pas de l’art — c’est de l’ingénierie en action.

La conduite temporaire hors sol est désormais entièrement installée et opérationnelle dans le cadre du projet de tunnel d’alimentation en eau de Stanley Park de Metro Vancouver. Pourquoi est-ce important ?

➡️ Il s’agit d’un tuyau flexible de 700 mètres, qui transporte temporairement l’eau pendant que les équipes se préparent à remplacer une conduite principale qui dessert la région depuis les années 1930.

➡️ Il est principalement posé au niveau du sol pour minimiser les perturbations, avec des sections enterrées afin de maintenir les routes et les sentiers piétonniers ouverts.

➡️ Le tuyau part de la rue Denman, longe la rue West Georgia dans le parc Devonian Harbour, puis suit Pipeline Road jusqu’au jardin de roses du Parc Stanley.

➡️ Des raccordements clés à la rue Denman, la voie Rose Garden et près de la rue Chilco garantissent que l’eau continue de circuler jusqu’à la station de pompage.

Cette conduite temporaire hors sol est une petite pièce d’un puzzle bien plus grand : moderniser les infrastructures d’eau pour une région en pleine croissance tout en respectant la beauté naturelle du parc.
