The Lulu Island Energy Company (LIEC), partnered with Corix Utilities Inc. (Corix), operates the Richmond District Energy Utility (RDEU) in Richmond, BC. They needed to connect the new Park Residences II (Mah Bing) Towers D + E and C developments to the RDEU, which required upgrades to the existing Carrera Interim Energy Centre (IEC).

My role

I was the structural designer for Associated Engineering, handling all structural engineering from conceptual design through construction completion and handover.

What I did

Design and coordination:

  • Managed ongoing design correspondence directly with Corix.

Design packages:

  • Prepared design drawing and specification packages at 50% Design Review, 90% Design Review, and the final Issued for Tender and Construction package.
  • Provided tender support, addressing RFIs from bidding contractors.

Construction support:

  • Managed construction administration - reviewed shop drawings, responded to RFIs, handled proposed change notices and site instructions, and issued field review reports.

Deliverables

I produced the complete structural drawing package for the Carrera IEC Upgrades, supporting the full cycle from design through tender, construction, and commissioning.
