Berth Two Beyond Carbon

Project Overview

Trigon is a long-standing mainstay of the economy in northern British Columbia and its Berth Two Beyond Carbon facility nearly doubles terminal capacity.  While various commodities may be handled across this new berth, it’s the first Canadian export infrastructure designed specifically with hydrogen-as-ammonia handling opportunities in mind..

PPM’s Canadian entity, PPM Civil Constructors utilized a barge equipped with a 450-tonne crane dedicated to piling activities, while a second barge features a 300-tonne crane for drilling operations. “Our drilling capabilities are further enhanced by a custom-built leads system paired with a rotary top drive, tailored to accommodate various pile configurations. Additionally, we maintain an additional 450-tonne crane within our logistics yard to facilitate pile splicing and material loading tasks efficiently.

Project Highlights

  • Static load testing for the project was conducted through adhering to standardized procedures. PPMCC used advanced instrumentation, including strain gauges, hydraulic jacks, load cells and displacement transducers, to measure and control accurately during the testing process.
  • Specialized datalogger logged the data collected from these instruments, ensuring precision and reliability. Based on the results of the test, there was a requirement to change the rock socket depths on a few piles due to the variability in the geotechnical conditions.
