The Proposed Project

Viterra Pacific Elevators Limited are proposing to upgrade a terminal dust control vacuum system on the north east corner of the Annex 1 roof, located at 1803 Stewart Street, Vancouver. A primary separator unit will be installed above a storage bin to collect recovered material, which will subsequently be processed in the terminal reclaim system for recovery of valuable grain. A secondary separator, filtering the finer particles, will discharge into a bin that will feed into the existing dust transportation system. The new equipment will have a footprint of approximately 60 square metres combined. The secondary separator will be 4 metres high and will be external to Annex 1. The new equipment will be shielded by a partial acoustic barrier to minimize noise impacts. The construction period is anticipated to run for three to four months with targeted completion at the end of June 2021.
