Great Northern Way Campus – Lot P

Scope of Work:

NorLand partnered with BAUER Foundations Canada to install a temporary secant pile wall along the former False Creek shoreline, with piles ranging from 9.6 to 15.7m, embedded 2m into bedrock. Additional shotcreting and value-engineered tie-back anchors were used to reduce costs and time.

Challenges & Solutions:

The excavation site presented challenges due to the fine silt and clay of the former creek bed. NorLand addressed these by utilizing swamp pads for tie-back installation and shotcreting areas with shallow bedrock elevations to achieve cost savings.

Overall Impact:

NorLand’s contributions to this high-profile development improved project efficiency and reduced costs, helping to shape a key hub in Vancouver’s future transportation and commercial landscape.
