ALRT Vancouver, BC
Farmer constructed two sections of this project substructure, one at Metro-town Burnaby and one adjacent to BC Place Stadium.
Westmin Resources Ltd
Tailings Pond, Campbell River BC. Ore mined at a depth of 1500 feet is conveyed to the surface and processed to extract minerals. Resultant rock waste slurry, called tailings is piped to a containment area referred to as a pond and stored on dry land. We constructed 45 acres of tailings ponds for Westmin Resources that required the diversion and relocation of mountain creeks and valley rivers, installing extensive underground drainage piping in order to restrict the leeching of the waste slurry into the mine’s surrounding ecosystems.

The new natural-gas fired plant will boast more efficient boilers which, in combination with new control systems and ultra-efficient energy transfer stations across the campus, are expected to produce significant energy savings. A schematic design for the building, which includes the requirements to achieve the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold standard certification.
Royal Jubilee Hospital Boiler House Addition
This addition to the Royal Jubilee Hospital saw selective demolition, modification and new construction of the existing boiler house, expanding the housing unit to incorporate two new boilers to increase the energy production of the hospital. The project team effectively coordinated energy use of the facility during the upgrade and ensured that all adjacent facilities saw limited disruption throughout the course of construction.
