The goal of the GCT Deltaport Terminal Road and Rail Improvement Project (DTRRIP) was to improve the operational efficiency of rail operations and increase container capacity through improvements to existing infrastructure. The Intermodal Yard Reconfiguration project consisted of rail track changes and additional container handling equipment within the existing GCT Deltaport footprint.

For this project, our team installed new 15kV switchgear and cabling, low voltage distribution, communications systems, and controls. We were also responsible for the expansion of a 69kV substation yard to support the addition of new RMG cranes, the reconfiguration of a rail yard, and the addition of a new rail maintenance building. To minimize disruption to operations we worked collaboratively with the owner to determine an optimized schedule for the project.

The Esquimalt Graving Dock is the largest non-military hard bottom dry dock on the west coast of the Americas. The dock has been used for the repair and maintenance of military and civilian vessels since 1927 – it plays an important part in the economy of British Columbia’s local coastal communities. The project consists of the replacement of the obsolete electrical substation on the North Landing Wharf with a new substation. Work included electrical safety upgrades to address potential health and safety hazards as well as associated civil work.

For this project we built a new substation with expanded infrastructure to accommodate future expansion and system upgrades to the 25KV system. This new station is fully integrated into the facility’s SCADA system to help maintain and monitor current conditions while mitigating potential electrical hazards.

Located at Roberts Bank in Delta, BC, GCT Deltaport is one of the largest container terminals in Canada. To increase security and improve terminal efficiency and container reservation, the port planned to install a vehicle access control system near the causeway overpass.  

Our team provided electrical and technology solutions for the project, including two new electrical rooms with propane generators, fibre-optic cabling, security, and traffic control devices. We also coordinated the civil construction in the immediate vicinity of the entrance and exit gates, including concrete forming and finishing, and asphalt paving. 

A significant part of this project was the installation of 23.9 kilometres of fibre, pulled from Roberts Bank, across the Port Mann bridge, to the Emergency Communications for British Columbia, the main communication hub for Greater Vancouver. As an operational port, with high traffic volume, we worked closely with the client to coordinate our work around operational needs and spaces, working primarily overnight to reduce disruption to the terminal.

Prince Rupert is a key transportation hub for BC’s North Coast, serving as a vital link for land, air, and water transportation. The Prince Rupert airport, consisting of the air terminal building, maintenance building, fire hall, and runway, was built in the 1960s and early 1970s and required a significant upgrade.

Our scope consisted of fully renovating all electrical systems on the existing 20,000 square feet air terminal building. The project was completed in stages and involved completely gutting the terminal building down to the framework and rebuilding accordingly for each project phase. This included supplying and installing interior and exterior lighting fixtures, public address system, lighting controls, fire alarm, video surveillance, Canada Border Services Agency equipment infrastructure, and NAV CANADA systems infrastructure. 

To overcome challenges with access to the site and materials, we utilized prefabrication to reduce our on-site footprint and ensure consistent quality of the installation. As a result, the upgraded air terminal building now provides a modern and safe facility that meets the needs of travelers to Prince Rupert and the surrounding area.

The Fairview Container Terminal is a dedicated intermodal facility that provides a high-velocity gateway for transpacific container trade. The Fairview Phase II North Expansion project consisted of a berth expansion, wharf upgrade, mooring dolphin, and container stacking and storage yards. All electrical and technology systems within the facility required upgrades and additions to accommodate such a vast expansion. 

Our team delivered electrical and structured cabling solutions for the project, which included substation upgrades, relocating and installing new Canada Border Services Agency radiation portals, new technology feeder systems for the gantry cranes, and a major fibre optic system upgrade for communications and specialized lighting controls. We also relocated and installed a 150 foot high, high-mast lighting system for the terminal and new specialized Cavotec shore-power systems. 

The project was a major undertaking for our team and required careful work to ensure safe and reliable electrical systems. We performed the work in stages to allow full operation of the facility without interruptions.

The Hold Bag Screening (HBS) Recapitalization project at the Victoria International Airport consisted of modifying the existing HBS system to improve passenger safety. The changes brought the security screening up to international standards and included improved explosive detection devices and computer tomography. 

Our team provided electrical construction and control cabling for all four-way sorters, spiral power curves, and bag alignment devices VFDs. We installed photo eyes on cable trays mounted above the conveyor systems and terminated them back to five different control panels. All units were linked together via Ethernet IP so the client can remotely monitor from a control room what each drive unit is doing at all times.

Victoria International Marina is a world-class, luxury yacht centre, located in the beautiful Victoria Harbour. This is the first dedicated superyacht complex on the West Coast, and one of only a handful in the world. Their full-service 28 slip marina opened to yachts in 2018 with facilities, design, and security technology unsurpassed in the industry.

Though the marina primarily serves as a moorage point for 65 to 175-foot long mega-yachts, the marina also includes two 7,000-square-foot buildings. Accessible to the public, one building offers an amenity and flex space and the other building features an elevated casual dining restaurant named “Boom + Batten.” 

We supplied the complete security system and privacy package needed to operate the marina. This included full video surveillance, access control, intrusion monitoring, fire alarm monitoring, and marina-wide Wi-Fi on the docks and in the amenity building, running on a fibre backbone.
