An industry-leading coating manufactur-er retained Tervita Corporation in March 2017 to decommission and demolish one of their plants located in Vancou-ver, B.C. The facility occupied an entire city block in a congested industrial area flanked by a major road to downtown Vancouver and a rail line accessing the Vancouver Port Authority. The facility in-cluded the original 100-year-old struc-ture along with five additional buildings constructed over the years. The buildings were built with various types of construc-tion materials ranging from timber col-umns and beams, poured-in-place con-crete walls, reinforced concrete slabs, and glued laminated timber beams.

The scope of work included the re-moval of all manufacturing equipment and wastes, asset recovery of selected

equipment, and abatement of all haz-ardous materials, followed by the subse-quent demolition of the entire plant.

Successful project completion was defined by maintaining the high-est safety standards for workers, site visitors, and members of the public to yield zero recordable incidents, while minimizing disruption to the adjacent major transportation routes.

Tervita’s integrated approachTervita’s waste services group per-

formed all production waste collection and disposal while Tervita’s environ-mental services group performed all equipment decommissioning, asset recovery, structural demolition, and remediation. Tervita subcontracted the hazardous materials abatement scope

of work to a local abatement contract-or, Enviro-Vac.

Waste identificationOne of the first steps in the project

was to identify, inventory, and classify all chemical wastes as per Transport Canada’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regu-lations. This was completed by a hazardous waste specialist. Inert gas blanketing and purging techniques safely removed volatile hazardous chemicals from piping systems and tanks. Compressed air and rotary pres-sure washing equipment purged vessels containing non-hazardous materials. A detailed inspection followed every purging operation to ensure safe deconstruction and demolition would follow. All collected waste materials were packaged for trans-port to licensed disposal facilities.

Decommissioning, Demolition and

Remediation of Industrial Properties

By Alan McCarthy, B.Eng., Senior Project Manager, Environmental Services, Tervita Corporation

Construction debris was used to provide equipment access for demolition of the third floor tank farm.


Asset recoveryAnother key component of the project

was to recover various equipment and assets that the client had requested be re-located to their other facilities. As part of this process, Tervita successfully salvaged a 7,000-gallon titanium powder tank with top-mounted electric motors and internal mixing shafts, an 18-foot tall mixing mill with a 10-tonne hydraulic agitator, and a five-tonne mixing mill with mixing shafts set in the concrete of the suspended second floor mezzanine. Specialized pro-duction line conveyor systems, including container fillers, packers, labellers, pal-letizers, and conveyor belts, were all sal-vaged, as were the recoverable contents of a quality assurance laboratory, along with various pumps, filters, flow meters, and factory scales. Tervita coordinated the dissembling and packaging for transport of all these items to manufacturing plants across North America.

Challenges and solutionsOne of the project challenges was the

removal of larger items due to restricted space and headroom inside the plant for cranes and forklifts. Detailed discussion and meticulous planning ensured that asset recovery was completed in a safe manner, that no inadvertent damage oc-curred, and that the equipment would be serviceable for reassembly upon reaching its new destination. Technicians conducted confined space entry into tanks to secure mixing arms and motors prior to transport.

In one particular case, one of the mix-ing mills could not be recovered safely without causing significant damage to the surrounding building structure and the mill itself. Tervita developed an alternate strategy requiring precise sequencing to recover this mill during the building demo-lition process. In total, Tervita successfully salvaged more than 150 smaller pieces (less than one tonne) and over 20 larger pieces (greater than one tonne) of equip-ment to be transported for redistribution.

Hazardous materials abatementA hazardous materials abatement in-

vestigation was performed upon comple-tion of a destructive hazardous materials survey. Identified hazardous materials included asbestos in doors, windows, floor tiles, and drywall compound, and

vermiculite in various internal cinder block walls. Tervita’s hazardous abate-ment subcontractor removed these ma-terials and issued a certificate of comple-tion once this work was finished. Upon receiving this document, the City of Van-couver issued a demolition permit for the buildings on-site.

DemolitionDemolition of the plant began in ear-

ly November 2017. Tervita mobilized a 45-tonne Caterpillar excavator, a 35-tonne Caterpillar excavator (both fitted-out for

demolition) a Genesis LPX 400 universal processor attachment with a concrete jaw and metal shear, and a skid steer loader.

Tervita consulted a third-party struc-tural engineer during the permit appli-cation process to develop a demolition sequence. The warehouse was the only area on the property with a footprint large enough to process, stockpile, and load-out waste. Accessing this desig-nated waste management area re-quired all trucks to cross the active rail line. Detailed logistical planning and full-time traffic flagging ensured public

safety and no interruption to rail line operations.

After the successful demolition of the warehouse roof, demolition of the structure continued. The 45-tonne ex-cavator deconstructed each structural component with the processing attach-ment and safely placed it on the ground. The 35-tonne excavator processed the components and segregated the deb-ris into appropriate waste streams. All concrete was crushed and had the rebar removed, to ensure the concrete could be recycled and reused as construction aggregate. All metal components were recycled, which provided a credit back to the client. This segregation process minimized construction and demolition debris destined for the landfill. The fol-lowing waste streams were processed during the demolition:• 2,350 tonnes of concrete;• 1,500 tonnes of construction and

demolition waste;• 750 tonnes of cinder block;• 650 tonnes of ferrous metal; and• 500 tonnes of wood debris.

The final demolition stage involved the removal of seven underground stor-age tanks ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 gallons in size. These were flushed and emptied using Tervita’s vacuum trucks. Once the tanks were purged, they were removed from the ground and processed for recycling.

Outcome Tervita provided project planning, gen-

eral contracting management, waste seg-regation, efficient asset recovery, cost-effec-tive demolition, and responsible remedia-tion during this project. Tervita’s integrated service lines and subcontractor network provided a turnkey solution to meet the client’s needs. Excellent communication and commitment to health, safety, and the environment ensured project completion to the satisfaction of all stakeholders with zero recordable incidents.

Alan McCarthy, B.Eng, is senior project manager of environmental services at Tervita Corporation. If you’re interested in learning more, further details on this sub-ject will be presented by Alan McCarthy on May 10 at the 2018 BEST Conference in Whistler, B.C.

Civil disobedience in the face of natural resource development has a long his-tory on the West Coast. In recent years, the focus of such activities has been major energy projects. Absent violence or threats to public safety, the criminal justice system will generally not inter-vene to prohibit civil disobedience. It is therefore left to private parties to seek compliance with the law by bringing a civil lawsuit against protestors, obtain-ing an injunction, and then requesting that the court require police interven-tion to enforce the injunction.

Because an injunction has emerged as the only practical remedy available to proj-ect proponents who may be impacted by civil disobedience, the procedural require-ments for obtaining civil injunctions have become increasingly significant.

It is important to differentiate be-tween civil disobedience and lawful protests. Lawful public protests may include groups marching and assem-bling in public areas to raise awareness of certain issues. Civil disobedience in-volves the deliberate violation of the law,

through activities such as blockades, the occupation of private property, and, oc-casionally, assault. Often this unlawful action prevents lawful activity from tak-ing place. Where this occurs, it is nec-essary to obtain an injunction from the courts prohibiting the unlawful conduct.

Acts of civil disobedience in the face of resource development typically con-stitute violations of various provisions of the Criminal Code. While there have been occasions when law enforcement has independently intervened and made arrests, these are exceptions to the rule. Typically, law enforcement agencies have adopted policies of not arresting individuals for engaging in acts of civil disobedience unless there have been acts of violence or significant property damage. This leaves affected private par-ties, such as project proponents, to seek civil relief through the courts.

In the past, it has been argued that there were several advantages to pre-ferring the civil injunction process over pursuing criminal charges: it provides for a “cooling off” period while the private

litigant assembles its materials for an injunction application; the process is not “criminalized”; and proceeding in this manner allows the police to remain “neutral.”

Historically, courts have expressed dissatisfaction with each of these three rationales. By forcing private parties to seek civil remedies rather than actually enforcing the Criminal Code, the burden of dealing with such problems is inevita-bly imposed on judges in the civil court system.

To obtain an injunction, an applicant is generally required to establish the fol-lowing:1. A serious question to be tried (that is,

a prima facie case on the merits);2. That irreparable harm (i.e., harm that

cannot be remedied by an award of damages) will ensue if the injunction is not granted; and

3. That the balance of convenience lies in favour of granting the injunction.The burden of establishing a serious

question to be tried is low, with some exceptions. This aspect of the test is

important, however, because it forces the party seeking an injunction to formu-late specific claims against the persons engaging in civil disobedience. Typically, such claims usually involve all or a com-bination of trespass, assault, nuisance, in-timidation, conspiracy, unlawful interfer-ence with economic relations, and induc-ing breach of contract. Affidavit evidence is required to demonstrate the factual ba-sis for the case on behalf of the applicant.

In the case of civil disobedience, courts are willing to accept proof of eco-nomic losses resulting from the delay of a project to establish irreparable harm. The magnitude of economic losses will also be relevant to the balance of conve-nience consideration by the court.

With respect to the balance of conve-nience, the fact that an injunction relat-ing to a natural resource development is typically sought based on a govern-ment authorization approving the proj-ect is significant, as this has been held to constitute strong evidence of where the public interest lies. Where Aboriginal rights are concerned, in recent years, the courts have held that raising such issues

in a private action, such as an injunc-tion, is an abuse of process when other mechanisms (such as a judicial review of the authorizations approving the project) exist. Accordingly, since 2013, a number of courts have refused to determine the merits of arguments based on Aboriginal and treaty rights, and alleged failures in consultation, in the context of an injunc-tion application.

The injunction order must include specific language regarding the timing of the injunction (limited or indefinite) and the geographic boundaries to which it applies. Where the project may be com-pleted in a short time frame, it may be easier to convince a court to provide a time-limited injunction that accomplishes the same thing as an indefinite order. As well, where the activity contemplated is limited to a specific area, crafting an in-junction with overly broad geographic limits (or none whatsoever) gives rise to the risk that an application will be dis-missed on the grounds that it is overly broad. Generally, an injunction crafted to the narrowest specifications required is most likely to succeed.

Private parties such as project pro-ponents who seek to bring an end to acts of civil disobedience cannot rely upon law enforcement agencies to unilaterally respond to such conduct, notwithstanding the fact that it is un-lawful and possibly criminal. Accord-ingly, the only practical recourse to address acts of civil disobedience is for a private party to obtain an injunction with appropriate enforcement provi-sions to enjoin the unlawful conduct. Given how polarizing natural resource development on the West Coast has become, civil injunctions appear to be an increasingly common feature of bringing major projects to completion in British Columbia.

The latest work from McCue Engineer-ing Contractors proves chemical pre-cipitation has a greater range of water treatment capability than previously thought possible.

To support the environmental as-sessment of a new gold mine project in B.C., McCue completed the preliminary design of a mine water treatment plant using a water profile modeled for the future open pit sump water. The water profile was complex, and the treatment plan specified by the mine owner includ-ed heavy metals removal by chemical precipitation. Plant effluent quality was predicted largely based on published theoretical heavy metal solubility data.

Both the regulators reviewing the environmental assessment and other project stakeholders, including lo-cal First Nations, requested more, site-specific information to address the uncertainty of what could be achieved

with water treatment at the project site and what impact the treated water would have on the local environment.

To address uncertainty with the treat-ment process and improve the inputs for the impact assessment model, Mc-Cue created a synthetic water sample from field leachate samples and labora-tory-grade salts to match the modeled plant inlet water profile. The synthetic water sample was used to develop and validate a chemical water treatment pro-cess at a bench scale and provide effluent

Pushing the Boundaries of Chemical Precipitation for Mine Water TreatmentBy Lynda Smithard, P.Eng., McCue Engineering Contractors

quality data for impact assessment mod-eling. The bench scale test program also provided valuable data to advance the design of the mine water treatment plant from preliminary to detailed.

The pilot test program notably dem-onstrated that a chemical precipitation program could successfully remove anti-mony, chromium, and copper. Previously, literature indicated that no or negligible removal could be achieved for these par-ameters using chemical precipitation.

A few months after the bench test, McCue had the opportunity to validate the chemical precipitation process with a full-scale water treatment system at a metals-contaminated site in Metro Van-couver, B.C. The site required temporary treatment of water contaminated with copper and zinc during the excavation phase of a major infrastructure project.

McCue successfully removed heavy metals from contaminated ground-water to meet both provincial and fed-eral surface water quality standards for a marine discharge. Strict standards, particularly for copper and zinc, the presence of salts (from seawater intru-sion), and construction activities in the excavation made the water treatment project technically challenging.

The chemical program selectively re-moved heavy metal ions while permit-ting sodium and chloride ions to pass through and be discharged to the mar-ine environment, resulting in a signifi-cant cost saving for the property owner and a significant reduction in the car-bon footprint by reducing the quantity of waste disposal required.

Results from McCue’s bench scale tests and the subsequent full-scale water treatment plant have contribut-ed to the body of knowledge for heavy metals precipitation treatment per-formance for antimony, chromium, and copper by providing data others can reference in the future.

This work fills in many data gaps in the theoretical end points for water treatment by metals precipitation. It further establishes practical end points, which have been demonstrated to be lower than the theoretical ones. Filling in gaps in knowledge decreases uncer-tainty as to what level of water treat-ment and environmental protection

can be achieved. Lowering uncertainty helps with gaining social and regulatory acceptance. Better data also helps ad-vance engineering design work more efficiently. Combined, the work will lower both project risk and cost.

McCue’s work has provided valu-able data on metals precipitation per-formance that could benefit environ-mental assessment work at other mine sites globally.

Lynda Smithard is an environ-mental engineer with 22 years’

experience, and is a registered pro-fessional engineer in British Colum-bia, Alberta, and Yukon Territory. She joined McCue Engineering Con-tractors in 2008 as an owner after 12 years in engineering consulting. Leading the engineering team at McCue, Smithard is responsible for overseeing all engineering work. McCue designs, constructs, operates, and maintains water treatment sys-tems for the mining and oil and gas industries. Learn more by visiting www.mccuecontracting.com.
