SOCO by Anthem Properties is a high density mixed-use, multi-phased development in the Burquitlam-Lougheed neighbourhood of Coquitlam. It is a transit oriented development within walking distance to Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain Station.

The civil works included a new road network, including a new road connection between North Rd & Lougheed Hwy, to help alleviate traffic congestion at the North Rd & Lougheed Hwy intersection. It also included a complex retaining wall, moment slab, and traffic barrier adjacent to the existing H-Mart building to accommodate steep slopes on the site.

The civil utilities included a large diameter sanitary sewer which connected to a large diameter Metro Vancouver trunk sewer, and included a detailed permitting process and night-work on North Road. It also included new storm sewers and watermains to service the development and new traffic signals on North Road.

The project also required permitting from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure due to proximity to Hwy #1 and the closure of Delestre Ave.

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.
