Eagle Mountain – Single Family Residential
Partners:
ADC Developments / Abbotsford
Contract Value:
$45,000,000
Eagle Mountain will remain one of our proudest achievements as a construction company, as it showcases our ability to overcome the challenges of such a difficult site and make the developer’s vision a reality. Matcon Civil personnel, working as part of the development management team, provided development strategy and business planning, as well as design review and development planning input. This collaborative approach allowed the owner to achieve the best overall layout and large savings in rock handling, retaining walls and detention/retention facilities.
Our works included extensive drilling and blasting of native bedrock allowing for proprietary rock wall design providing dramatic retaining structures of over four stories tall; upgrading of existing roadways and utilities; construction of new arterial roads and utilities; construction of a one million gallon reservoir fed by a two kilometer supply main and upgraded booster pump station; and preparation of school-park and commercial development sites.
Grant Hill Estates
Single Family Residential
Partners:
Voth Brothers / Maple Ridge
Contract Value:
$14,000,000
This three-year, one hundred and eight 1-acre lot residential development required extensive site clearing and grading works prior to the installation of 9000 lm of storm and sanitary main and 8000 lm of water main. The development included also included the construction of a water reservoir, water pump station, two sanitary pump stations, a commercial septic field, and all roadworks and landscaping.
Angus Drive Water Main
Partners:
MetroVancouver
Contract Value:
$9,500,000
Begun in March 2014, the Angus Drive water main is a 3.5 Km long, 5 foot-diameter main that requires excavation up to 7 metres deep through an existing residential community and several arterial intersections in south Vancouver. Our works on this project include the excavation and installation of the water main as well as street upgrades along the alignment. Due to the importance of the area to local commuter traffic, careful coordination with the City of Vancouver, Vancouver City Police and MetroVancouver is an important ongoing aspect of the project. And because of the complexity of the excavation itself, Matcon has leveraged our participation in this project to include additional training for several of our employees on deep excavation rescue procedures.
