There is a new plan to remove the barge that has been stuck at a popular Vancouver beach for nearly three months. It will be taken away piece-by-piece.
Vancouver Pile Driving Ltd. (VanPile), which has been contracted to oversee the project, said a fence and signs will be put in place at the site before work begins near the city’s busy seawall around the downtown peninsula.
“Once the fence is installed the barge site will be an active work zone and the full removal process will take 12-15 weeks,” wrote the company in an email.
