FWS undertook the design-build of a new transload facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, tailored to efficiently handle malt, peas, and wheat. The facility supports high-volume rail car unloading, container loading, and grain storage while maintaining continuous operations of the existing facility.

• Construct a transload facility with a nominal handling capacity of 700 metric tonnes per hour (25,000 bushels per hour).
• Enable efficient rail car unloading and container loading operations.
• Provide grain storage capacity to accommodate fluctuating inventory needs.
• Ensure dust collection and control systems maintain safety and environmental compliance.
• Maintain full operational status of the existing facility throughout construction.

• Rail car unloading designed to handle two parallel strings of seven standard 60-foot rail cars simultaneously.
• Storage system featuring a total capacity of 11,190 tonnes with three small hopper bottom bins and three large flat bottom bins.
• Advanced dust collection and control technologies integrated to improve air quality and safety.
• Comprehensive civil, rail, electrical, and control works to support facility operations.

• Successfully delivered a fully operational transload facility meeting high-capacity throughput demands.
• Maintained uninterrupted operations of the existing facility during construction, minimizing downtime.
• Enhanced storage flexibility with a combination of hopper and flat bottom bins, supporting various grain types.
• Integrated effective dust control systems improving workplace safety and environmental standards.
