May 2016 , Tsawwassen Mills will cover more than 1.4 million square feet of indoor retail space as well as an outdoor shopping mall .
“ We ’ re probably about 90 percent through the structural steel ,” says Hrdlitschka . “ We ’ re currently working on completing the base building envelope and roof .”
For Ledcor , the massive project has included an array of services from road construction , installation of underground utilities to constructing the park-like habitat areas around the project .
With close proximity to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal , the project has also presented unique challenges .
“ With the size and location of the project , we needed to improve the ground conditions before construction ,” says Hrdlitschka . “ Because this project is in a low lying area , we had to import ¬ sand and gravel to offset the conditions of the ground . We ended up importing just under two million metric tons of sand and gravel .”
Hrdlitschka added , “ There ’ s always going to be challenges , but it ’ s how you handle those challenges
