Arch Engineers Ltd. led engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) for a personnel loading deck at Darrel Bay. This critical project facilitated the transfer of workers from an existing Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) dock to marine vessels. Moreover, it was a cornerstone for Woodfibre LNG’s development. The project faced broad stakeholder oversight and close scrutiny on quality, safety, and compliance.
The scope included structural, mechanical, and electrical work. Arch integrated secure stairways, advanced lighting, and safety railings to meet Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) standards. Additionally, Arch ensured meticulous quality control by establishing a detailed Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) and a thorough turnover package. Consequently, the project earned MoTI’s approval and satisfaction upon final delivery.
Throughout the project, Arch expertly managed diverse stakeholders, including Woodfibre LNG, BC MoTI, BC FLNRO, Squamish First Nation, municipal officials, and local residents. This required consistent, transparent communication to address concerns. Furthermore, Arch maintained alignment with environmental, health, and safety (EHS) regulations, especially at Darrel Bay.
In this high-profile project, Arch upheld top QA/QC standards and showed unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship and safety. By navigating complex interactions, strict compliance, and technical demands, Arch delivered a personnel loading deck that met MoTI’s expectations, protected environmental values, and fulfilled owner goals. Ultimately, this project demonstrated Arch Engineers’ ability to manage large-scale, highly regulated infrastructure with precision and stakeholder commitment.
