In 2003, the Greater Vancouver Regional District awarded Arthon Construction Ltd. the $4Million ++ tender for production of
750,000 tonnes of aggregate products for the construction of a new Water Filtration Plant in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve in North Vancouver. The entire project
will cost a total of $600+ Million of which the aggregate processing by Arthon is the first contract of many for the plant
construction. Two 3 metre diameter tunnels will be drilled through the mountain joining the Seymour water supply with the
Capilano water supply, the two drinking water sources for the entire region.
The contract will span two years with approximately 10 different products being produced. Washed concrete aggregates comprise a 20mm, 10mm and sand specification.
Road base and structural backfill is provided through a 75 mm (3") minus product. Other products include 25" crushed rock products and bedding sands.
Water usage for the wash production is provided by a sedimentation pond constructed adjacent to the wash plant, topped up with piped fresh water supply. Arthon's crushing plant is moved into the
km 4 pit as required to complete production of aggregates for the project.
Arthon's equipment utilized for this project include a 6 x 20 wash screen deck, classifying system, 400 kw power plant, three 50 tonne surge bins, a variety of conveying systems,
and our Volvo 330 wheel loader. The crushing plant includes a 200 tonne per hour cone crusher, 500 tonne per hour jaw crusher, 6 x 20 vibrating screen deck, and our
caterpillar 980 wheel loader. 6 wheel drive Terex trucks are essential for hauling and stockpiling - regular tandem dump trucks are
not capable of climbing these stockpiles.
