Contractor for Pinetree Way
main building named

 

 

The Pinetree Way campus site as it looked in late May after the foundation
was poured. Work on the main campus building begins this month.

DGS Construction Company Ltd. from

Surrey has been chosen to build Douglas
College’s Pinetree Way campus from the
slab up. The announcement was made
two weeks ago by Director of Facilities
Services Terry Leonard.

“They’re hoping to be on the site June
5, and they are scheduled to complete the
project in August 1996,” said Leonard.

Work on the foundation is nearly done,

with subfloor drainage systems, grading
for floor slabs, and electrical conduits
installed just ahead of the concrete
pouring in late May. Pinetree Project
Manager West Graydon says that DGS
Construction can begin work when the
foundation is about 75% finished.

Things are a little behind schedule
because the foundation contractor lost
nearly a month due to February’s rain, but
Graydon says that time may be recovered.
“We hope to pick that up on the main
building contract. Once you get out of the
ground in this business, things are a lot
more predictable.” I
