Under the direction of City of Vancouver and Park Board, Sumas Remediation Services was contracted to restore the upland, beach and woodland areas in and around Jericho Beach.
This multiphase project involved the repair and replacement of broken storm drains and manholes, the removal of existing piles, and grading and landscaping of existing woodland areas.
Working within the tidal zone and in conjunction with stringent environmental monitoring, Sumas was able to maintain a safe and sustainable habitat for the wildlife and native plant species.
In addition, Sumas met critical milestones and scheduled timelines that coincided with the City of Vancouver’s prescheduled Vancouver Folk Festival.
