Remote and barge-access projects
Some of the best work in BC has no road to it. PCE goes where the work is: up the coast and into northern BC by barge, and into the Interior by road.
What this covers
- Planning and loading equipment for barge mobilization
- Self-contained crews: site office trailer, RVs, fuel and spares
- Bridge installation and crossings at remote sites
- Slope cuts, pads and site preparation on remote sites
- Loading excavated material onto barges
On a remote job, what does not get on the barge does not get to site. PCE plans the equipment list, attachments, fuel and spares up front, and brings a crew that can keep machines running without a dealer down the road.
PCE has run equipment and crews out of Rivers Inlet on the central coast for Matcon, gone into northern BC by barge, and operated an ocean disposal facility for Matcon Excavation and Shoring.
