Hastings Sunrise East Sewer Separation - Phase 1

The opportunity to contribute to the design and construction of more than twenty green infrastructure amenities, such as dry-wells and curb bulges complemented with raingardens, was a significant highlight for us at Aplin Martin. Additionally, we successfully completed the design and construction of over thirty concrete pedestrian letdowns, integrating meticulous curb work. Our role as the Engineer-of-Record for the project involved providing crucial civil engineering support to the City of Vancouver, facilitating the smooth execution of the design and construction of various green infrastructure elements and curb bulges. However, we faced certain challenges, including navigating around several existing underground utilities located adjacent to the raingardens and dry-wells. Furthermore, the intricate nature of the green infrastructure amenities added an extra layer of complexity to the construction process, demanding careful attention to detail and precision in execution.
