Pacific Coast Terminals in Port Moody will need another two to three weeks of piledriving in order to complete work on its new potash handling facility.
The company said in a notice of construction on Wednesday that 30 more individual piles will have to be installed and work is expected to begin immediately and continue until Remembrance Day.
"Unfortunately, the construction team has identified challenges in the ground conditions in the area where excavation is taking place for a new railcar unloading building," the company said in a notice of construction. "Specifically, this area is located on the property adjacent to the rail line and to the Barnet Highway."
The company said it is aware that the noise has been disruptive to residents in the area. In the statement, they noted that work would only occur between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, in an effort to avoid inconveniencing neighbours.
Piledriving has taken place at the facility over the summer as the Pacific Coast Terminals works to expand its operations in order to ship new commodities, like potash and canola oil. A potash storage facility and several liquid storage tanks were built and rail lines that run through the property are being expanded.
