Phase 1 Membrane Replacement Project
Project Mobilization Date: August 11, 2025
Work Start Date: August 28, 2025
Expected duration: 2–3 months
Primary contractor: Prostar https://prostar.ca/
Weather: Cloudy, 26°C
NOTE: I am resetting the day count, as work officially begins today.
The work permit has been obtained and is now posted on the C-can. Work has finally resumed 17 days after mobilization.
Today. 3–6 workers (I was unable to get a precise number) spent the day removing the soil from behind the 244 building, exposing the membrane that will ultimately be removed and replaced.
You may see a great deal of water in some of the shots below. The Copperstone strata property manager ordered the irrigation system to this area cut off last year, so this water is seeping in from the irrigation system installed for the gardens that are part of the new Royal Columbian Hospital Acute Care Tower next door. Strata Council is working with Ellis Don and others to resolve this issue.
Meanwhile, removal of soil behind the 244 building and between buildings 244 and 248 will continue this week.
The membrane replacement project is currently slated to be complete in November.
