Referred to locally as “The Nat,” the Nat Bailey Stadium has been home to baseball fans in Vancouver since 1951. Thousands of viewers attend games at the stadium each year for the local Vancouver Canadians team, playing in the short- season Single-A league.

Being a legacy venue, the stadium was in need of a lighting upgrade. The decision was made to install high-powered LED, field-of-play lighting to reduce light pollution and to provide brighter, flicker-free light for improved game and broadcast performance.

For this project, we provided the electrical installation and testing of new high-mast, field-of-play LED stadium lighting. This included the replacement of light fixtures on seven out of eight existing light towers, a new light tower, six additional lights on the roof of the building, and an LED driver enclosure. Working next to an operational indoor sports complex, our team was able to safely coordinate all major equipment lifts to minimize disruption to the public.

Suncor-owned Petro Canada built a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations from Nova Scotia to British Columbia called “Canada’s Electric Highway.” Each charging station is located 200 km-250 km apart, and in British Columbia, Houle was the installation partner of choice for their first fast-charge EV station in Nanaimo, BC.

Our scope of work to install the charging station included: connecting a dedicated BC. Hydro 600-ampere, 600-volt, three-phase service to the two electric vehicle chargers, supplying the underground electrical equipment, 920V DC wiring and fibre-optic connections, lighting, emergency shutdown systems, intercom, cameras and wiring for additional chargers.
A couple of months later, we completed our second Petro-Canada EV station at Patricia Bay Highway in Victoria, BC.

BC Place Stadium is the largest multi-purpose venue in the province of British Columbia. The stadium hosts sports, exhibitions, live entertainment, and community gatherings right in the heart of downtown Vancouver. In 2018, a review of the Field of Play lighting system resulted in a decision to upgrade to a modern, energy efficient LED system that would meet the advanced requirements of a world-class, multi-purpose stadium. 

Our scope of work included removing 552 existing 1500W metal halide Field of Play luminaires and replacing them with a turnkey solution that included 372 new 1400W Field of Play LED luminaires, 36 RGBW luminaires, and a new lighting control system. The project needed to be completed in less than two months to be ready in time for the next season of sports.

With the expertise of our project team, we were able to satisfy all specified requirements while finishing ahead of schedule. The new lighting system also features outstanding colour rendering, temperature control, and uniformity for world-class live events. The lights also have reduced glare and are flicker-free, designed for super-slow-motion broadcasting.

Cytiva, formerly Vanrx Pharmasystems, uses advanced technology to deliver cutting-edge sterile filling solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. Using robotics, machine vision, and gloveless isolator technologies, Cytiva automates the packaging of injectable drugs into vials, syringes, and cartridges.

As a design-assist partner, we completed the demolition of existing electrical structures, and provided the electrical and technology solutions for this project, including electrical distribution, lighting, and structured cabling. This scope of work covered the warehouse area and office space, including lighting fixtures, branch circuits, feeders, distribution equipment, wiring devices, and data drops.

Concert Properties has partnered with the YMCA of Greater Vancouver and the City of Coquitlam to transform Burquitlam Park into a mixed-use development. This project will play a monumental role in improving the liveability of the neighbourhood. Designed to achieve Step 2 of the BC Energy Code, this new build is located steps away from the Burquitlam Skytrain station and supports the development of a multimodal street and path network.

For this project, our team is providing electrical and technology solutions, including electrical distribution, lighting, security, structured cabling, and infrastructure for EV charging. This includes the supply and installation of the following components:  

• Distribution equipment, including a 3500/4667KVA main transformer
• Emergency generator
• Luminaires, lighting system & devices, and emergency lighting equipment
• Telephones and CAT5 conduit system
• Smoke alarms and fire alarm system with annunciators
• Power for EV chargers
• Access control and CCTV
