Vancouver Pile Driving secured temporary stakes around the ruins over the past few weeks
The painstaking and sometimes noisy work of dismantling a giant barge. The winter storm has finally begun in earnest.
Vancouver Pile Driving drove temporary stakes around the derelict building and spent weeks securing it while demolition work was underway. The company then installed safety fences and fences.
Now it's time for the actual removal. This is expected to take him 3-4 months. That means the barge should be completed in less than a year after it was washed ashore and stranded by a storm and flood tide on November 15, 2021.
The barge was renamed Barge Her Chilling Beach as it proved impossible to take off and had languished on the beach for so long. Abstract "reclining man" sculpture.
On the other hand, local residents have to contend with noise due to construction work from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. From Monday to Friday, people using the seawall and beach will not be affected. All material removal is being done from the water side of the barge, which the company says will not compromise the sensitive marine environment.
The City of Vancouver says demolition must comply with noise ordinances and will be monitored throughout.
