WATCH: Crews begin cutting up English Bay barge for removal
Large metal panels from the barge’s south end were sliced off with cutting tools, and lifted by a crane mounted on a floating support barge for removal by sea.Earlier this week, Vancouver Pile Driving, the contractor who is managing the job, installed piles along the shoreline to anchor the barge while the demolition work is undertaken.
The job is estimated to take 12 to 15 weeks to complete, with crews pausing for the coming B.C. Day long weekend. The removal company said after the long weekend a demolition excavator will be lifted onto the barge to remove the bin walls.The seawall in the area will remain open during the deconstruction, though the worksite has been fenced off.
