Site preparation for truck parking and storage - 12509 Industrial Road

The proposed project

Tyam Excavation and Shoring Ltd. (Tyam) is proposing to undertake site preparation work on two parcels at 12509 Industrial Road in Surrey, BC. The project area includes the northern industrial site where a former gypsum board plant operated from approximately 1926 to 2010 and was demolished as part of the lease agreement exit requirement and the southern parcel that is bisected from the north by a rail line and is accessed from Industrial Road. The southern parcel included a former administrative office that was recently damaged by a fire and had to be demolished due to increased security and safety concerns. The demolition of the administrative office was issued a separate emergency works authorization in November 2024.

The applicant is proposing the following work:

  • Removal of concrete foundations for the northern and southern sites (expected depth of 0.5 metres and volume of approximately 6,500 cubic metres)
  • Clearing, grading, graveling and/or paving of the entire northern site (approximately 7,000 cubic metres of granular material)
  • Capping of any existing utility connections
  • Removal of any abandoned utilities
  • Vegetation removal on the northern site
  • Installation of temporary stormwater management  – temporary treatment ponds with pumps on western side of north and south parcels to remove any water from work areas
  • Installing perimeter fencing

The intended use for the site following site preparation would be for truck and trailer parking, equipment storage, and container storage. There are no additional construction activities being proposed prior to Tyam leasing the site.

Construction would be conducted during regular hours and take approximately 6 months to complete.
