TransLink is building a new state-of-the-art operations control centre to handle the growing SkyTrain network, making it more accessible and accommodating more trains for a smoother commuter experience. This expansion features a larger data centre and advanced automatic train controls, providing increased capacity for the growing network.

This centre is expected to be operational for the launch of the Broadway Subway extension and will support the future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain expansion when it’s ready. To ensure uninterrupted operations, this four-storey building includes robust UPS and generator systems.

We are providing electrical and technology solutions for the project, including electrical distribution, lighting, fire alarm, structured cabling, communications cabling, security, and lightning protection. Our team will be installing over 11,700 ft of TECK90 cable, 2,500 ft of 288 strand fiber cable, and 24 5,000 lb UPS cabinets to complete this advanced facility.

Ranked as #29 on the ReNew Top 100 Canada’s Biggest Infrastructure Projects list, the Broadway Subway Project will extend the existing SkyTrain Millennium Line by 5.7 km from VCC-Clark Station to Broadway and Arbutus in Vancouver.

Designed with “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” principles, the stations will feature an open and transparent layout, good lighting, and top security systems to maximize visibility and safety. With the integration of these stations into Vancouver’s existing transit networks and cycling facilities, this project will help provide fast, frequent, and convenient SkyTrain service to BC’s second largest jobs centre, world-class health services, an emerging innovation and research hub, and growing residential communities.

Our team is providing electrical and technology solutions for the new stations, including power distribution, lighting, life safety, security systems, and communications systems. This includes management and SCADA systems, wayside monitoring, and tunnel ventilation systems. Additionally, we are working with virtual design, including BIM 3D modeling, to assist with constructability review, trades clash detection, and resolution input.

The Kelowna International Airport is embarking on its largest infrastructure project to date with the Airport Terminal Building (ATB) Expansion project. In response to the growing demand for air travel in the region, this project aims to improve connectivity to the Okanagan Valley, improving the passenger experience and potential for economic growth.

The ATB Expansion will add 60,000 square feet (5,590 sq. m) of new space to the terminal building and 13,000 square feet (1,200 sq. m) of renovated space. These enhancements include the following items.

• An expanded Departures Lounge aimed at improving the traveller experience
• An expanded security screening area leveraging new technology for increased capacity and efficiency
• Direct access to multiple gates for departing and arriving passengers
• Improved wayfinding

The design features a number of sustainable elements including LED lighting, locally-sourced mass timber, and a geo-exchange heating and cooling system. Throughout the expansion, the airport will remain fully operational and the work will be done in phases, with Phase 1 scheduled for completion in 2026.

OUR SCOPE
Our team will be providing electrical and technology solutions, including electrical distribution, lighting, fire alarm, security, structured cabling, public address and AV systems.

The West Line Creek Active Water Treatment Facility was the first treatment facility in operation as part of Teck’s implementation of the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan. The goal was to stabilize and reverse the trend of selenium and other substances to ensure the ongoing health of the Elk Valley watershed while at the same time allowing for continued sustainable mining in the region.

Our team provided the project’s electrical distribution, controls, instrumentation, network and fibre optic cabling, and electrical heat trace scope. To complete the project amidst a compressed schedule, our project team provided multiple crews to work day and night shifts. Project materials, tools, and equipment were also carefully managed to minimize schedule delays.

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 in the Comox Valley area, the Buckley Bay Substation was built to help offset the heavy electricity loads on nearby substations in Courtenay, Comox, and Qualicum Beach, while increasing safer power capacity for the local community. 

Our team delivered all civil installation, electrical construction, and power and communications (P&C) installation for the new 138kV – 25kV substation. The extreme winter conditions added a challenge to the project, however, we were able to overcome it through effective communication between our project team and the other trades on-site.

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.

With the increasing demand for power for the fastest growing community in BC, the city of Surrey knew that a new electrical substation was in order to help get power to homes and businesses in a safe and reliable way. 

Our scope was to install a new, open-air substation, which included two transformers, substation protection and control equipment, and two new distribution feeder sections. Our team installed a 230-25-25kV transformer, four 230kV circuit breakers and 16 230kV breaker disconnect switches, two 230kV line switches and two 230kV line terminations, two 230kV motor operated transformer disconnect switches, four motorized 25kV disconnect switches, four 25kV GIS feeder sections with equipment for seven feeders per section, and associated 25kV equipment in two separate buildings.

Despite various project delays, we collaborated and had open communication with the client and our project team to reassign resources as needed to meet the changing schedule.
