LA VIA Port Coquitlam is a 34 unit condominium development with underground parking that was completed by Circadian Developments Ltd. in March, 2014. H.Y. Engineering Ltd. provided off-site design services and revised to those designs to incorporate the acquisition of an additional lot to the development. H.Y. Engineering also provided Project Management, Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Design and Inspection, as well as Construction Inspection Services.
This is a large multi-family townhouse development consisting of 144 units. The development has utilized many sustainability features on-stie to benefit the residents of this development. Some of these sustainability features include in-ground infiltration, enhanced topsoil, and water quality devices. Also, the development features a large amenity building for the local residents of this development. The on-site works total value is approximately $1.3 million. The off-site components of this development included the design and construction of a 12 inch watermain for approximate 150 meters in front of the development with an approximate cost of $260,000.
H.Y. Engineering Ltd. designed both the on and off-site works for the multi-phased development making this a beautiful development in the City of Surrey. H.Y Survey has also worked on this development from the raw land state including preparing the topographic and tree survey, subdivision plans ,consolidation plans, strata plans, and as-constructed surveys. H.Y. Engineering continues to work on this project through weekly Erosion and Sediment Control monitoring of the works until the completion of the development.
This 10 lot single family development is an infill development with average site grades exceeding 10%. This project is located in a highly visible area of Surrey being in close proximity to the Skytrain and major commuter routes. Due to the location of the development a number of off-site works were designed and built to suit the area. For example, H.Y. Engineering Ltd. designed the traffic circle in order to create traffic calming in the neighbourhood and also worked with the project sub-consultants to design a sound attenuation fence and architectural concrete retaining walls to reduce the noise along King George Boulevard while being visually appealing. The project required a number of approvals from Metro Vancouver and Translink in order to design and construct a new storm sewer underneath the Skytrain line. Currently, H.Y. Engineering Ltd. is working with the developer to complete the development.
