Dock Pile Replacement at Vancouver Tug Facility - 2215 Commissioner Street
Official title: Pile installation and removal - Saam Towage Canada Inc.
Saam Towage Canada wants to replace one old pile with four new steel piles at their tug boat dock in Vancouver. The work supports a larger dock replacement project at 2215 Commissioner Street. The existing dock structure has reached the end of its service life.
Why This Matters
This is a routine industrial maintenance project at a commercial tug boat facility. Unless you work at or near the Vancouver port, this won't affect your daily life. Nearby workers may notice a few weeks of construction activity.
What Could Change
If approved, the port authority would permit removal of one pile and installation of four new steel piles. The work would take a few weeks. This enables the broader dock replacement happening outside federal jurisdiction.
Key Issues
- Should the port authority permit pile removal and installation at this tug docking facility?
