Industrial Building Demolition at North Vancouver Port Terminal
Official title: Old Cell House Demolition - Chemtrade Electrochem Inc.
Chemtrade Electrochem wants to tear down an abandoned industrial building at their North Vancouver port terminal. The structure, built in 1956, has sat empty for 18 years and now poses safety risks. The demolition includes removing hazardous materials and old equipment. The site will stay vacant until future development.
Why This Matters
Live or work near the North Vancouver waterfront? This demolition could mean temporary noise and truck traffic in your area. The project also involves removing hazardous materials from an old industrial site.
What Could Change
If approved, the 1956 building gets demolished down to its concrete slab. Hazardous materials will be removed and trenches filled in. The land stays dormant until future development proposals come forward.
Key Issues
- Should the demolition proceed given the hazardous materials on site?
- Are the proposed safety measures adequate for the demolition work?
