Gateway Infrastructure Projects

Coquitlam Rail Corridor Improvements Project

As part of the many Greater Vancouver Gateway Infrastructure Projects, design and field work have begun to raise Pitt River Road and Colony Farm Road to create overpasses of the existing rail corridor (and Lougheed Highway) that will allow for a new 5 km-long section of track that will pass beneath these two crossings permitting trains to travel in both directions along the Canadian Pacific in the city of Coquitlam.

Many of these projects have been awarded individually to different firms and Collins Safety Services Ltd. has currently been retained by one or more to provide Safety Coordination and support services. More details to come as these projects get underway.

Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility

The project supports the Port of Vancouver’s vision of a sustainable port, and in particular their commitment to climate action, by eliminating a significant volume of existing and projected truck traffic from Roberts Bank to the existing inspection facility in Burnaby.

Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility is located on a 4.5 ha (11.4 acre) site within Tsawwassen First Nation industrial lands. It is adjacent to the 41B Street overpass, providing excellent access to Deltaport Way, and is about 5 kilometres from Deltaport Terminal.

The facility is now complete and is in operation. Further refinements to the operator area are anticipated as well as construction of a Fixed Site Large Scale Imaging (FS-LSI) Facility, which is expected to be complete in 2020.

Shane VisTasa Construction

Collins Safety Services  We recently had Collins Safety Services design and create a Safety Orientation Program for our company…Pristine Labour Inc.

We were exceptionally happy with the end result. The product created was outstanding and way beyond our expectations. They designed and developed the program into an easy to use e-learning component with a quiz at the end to help us understand how well the person taking the training would receive the information. Our employees find it very simple to do and easy to learn from.

Our clients are very impressed with this professional program. The program has really helped make us into a cutting edge company now and a leader in the field of Temporary Labour. None of our competitors have anything like this. We want to sincerely thank Joe for going above and beyond. The product he created was simply amazing.  Collins Safety Services

Many thanks Joe.
