A long-operating marine terminal on Burrard Inlet was set to become a modern grain export facility. This would be an ambitious redevelopment on federal port lands shaped by decades of industrial use. Before construction could proceed, environmental risks tied to the historical operations had to be understood, managed, and resolved without derailing the project schedule.
G3 Global inherited a site with complex contamination issues in soil, groundwater, sediment, and vapour and was challenged with constructing critical infrastructure near Lynn Creek and the shoreline. The path forward required careful coordination with regulators, engineers, and contractors.
PGL led the environmental assessment, remediation, and risk management work required to support lease exit, regulatory approvals, and redevelopment. Through phased investigations, targeted remediation, and detailed human health and ecological risk assessments, PGL helped define where contamination required removal and where risks could be safely managed in place.
As redevelopment advanced, PGL provided hydrogeological design and oversight for construction dewatering and environmental monitoring, ensuring groundwater management did not impact nearby aquatic systems. Ongoing liaison with port authorities and regulators kept approvals aligned with construction realities.
The result was a successful transition from legacy industrial terminal to modern export facility. This project demonstrates how clear, risk-based decision-making and proactive environmental management can unlock redevelopment on even the most complex waterfront sites.
