North Construction | Environmental Considerations

North Construction takes great pride in its ability to work in challenging situations while using best management practices to minimize the impact on the environment and local wildlife. Working closely with Government and monitoring agencies, North provides innovative solutions to projects often in a short operating season.

North Construction continues to provide British Columbia's major Ski resorts with the expertise and resources to keep in-step with the demands of today's skiers. North provides clients with design and budgeting assistance, surveying and ground truthing, ski run construction and enhancement, snow making equipment and underground utilities installation.

Working with developers and their engineers, North Construction has completed many unique and challenging projects ranging from high-end single lot subdivisions in West Vancouver, to mountainside communities such as Britannia Beach and Furry creek. All of these projects required special attention to stream diversion, bridge abutments, water channels and large retaining wall structures.
