Environmental excavation and remediation
Creek restoration, habitat protection, fisheries projects and oil spill clean-up. PCE crews are used to working in sensitive environments under strict regulatory and safety standards.
What this covers
- Creek and riparian restoration
- Fisheries and fish habitat projects
- Oil spill clean-up
- Wildfire debris cleanup and site restoration
- Derelict vehicle and debris recovery on difficult ground
- Dam, culvert and crossing upgrades beside live water
- Remote environmental work reached by barge
Environmental work asks more of an excavation crew than moving dirt. Work areas have to be isolated from the water, sediment controlled, spoil and debris kept where they belong, and machines kept clean and fuelled away from the creek.
PCE has worked repeatedly with Matcon and Matcon Environmental on this kind of work — at Paul Lake near Kamloops, in Lytton after the wildfire, around Lillooet, and on the coast at Rivers Inlet.
