🔹 Meet Maeve Hildebrand – Environmental Coordinator at BCP 🔹

Representing Pomerleau BC, Maeve Hildebrand is an Environmental Coordinator on the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP) team for Metro Vancouver’s Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project.

With nearly two years in the construction industry, Maeve joined the project to support the BCP environmental team. She is passionate about ensuring the surrounding environment is carefully protected throughout construction.

Maeve’s role is a balance between fieldwork and office coordination. Her days often begin by planning priorities before heading to site to collect water, soil, and bedrock samples, monitor environmental mitigation measures, and support testing in the on-site bedrock lab. Back in the office, she analyzes results, contributes to environmental plans and reports, and coordinates closely with consultants and suppliers.

Originally from mid-town Toronto, Maeve grew up exploring the Don River Valley trails—spending much of her time walking, running, and biking through the area. That early connection to nature continues today in British Columbia, where she enjoys running year-round, as well as hiking and skiing depending on the season.

One of the most memorable places Maeve has visited is a geothermal river high in the mountains of Iceland, where she experienced stargazing in warm water surrounded by snow. Closer to home, one of her favourite outdoor experiences is hiking the Sunshine Coast Trail, especially the Tin Hat Mountain section.
When she’s not working, Maeve enjoys staying active outdoors and spending time with friends—especially hiking, camping, or cooling off at the beach or Lynn Creek in the summer. She’s also hoping to try scuba diving one day, even if it might be a little intimidating.
Maeve’s enthusiasm for environmental stewardship, combined with her hands-on approach and strong coordination skills, make her a valued part of the BCP team as they deliver this critical infrastructure project responsibly. 🌿

BCP FIFA BBQ at Centre Shaft Site ⚽🌭

On Thursday, June 11, the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP) team came together for a lively FIFA-themed lunchtime BBQ. The event kicked off at noon—perfectly timed with the opening match between South Africa and Mexico—bringing a great energy to the site as crews gathered to watch the game.

A big thank-you goes to Kathryn Best, BCP’s Construction Administrator, who kept the grill going with expertly cooked burger patties and hot dogs. The spread also included a variety of sides and treats, from fresh salads to chicken wings and cookies, ensuring there was something for everyone.
The event was organized by a fantastic group of engineering co-op students and junior staff— Sarp Ata Kaan, Leo Diot, Michael Scott Jolly, Jacob Kowalski, Antoine Louet, and Nathaniel Gao —whose efforts helped create a fun and memorable mid-day break for the team.

With international flags decorating the space, a packed lunchroom, and the match playing on screen, the BBQ was a great way to bring people together to celebrate the global spirit of the game and that of the BCP team.

👏 Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success!

🔬 Innovation in Action at BCP: PAG/ARD Testing

On Metro Vancouver’s Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project, the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP) Environment Team is pushing boundaries with real-time geochemical analysis right in the field.

Featured here are three of the experts driving this innovation:
👷‍♂️ Ammar Keykoni – Environmental Manager (Pomerleau)
🌱 Maeve Hildebrand – Environmental Coordinator (Pomerleau)
🧪 Dustin Venhuizen – Environmental Specialist (Hatfield Consultants)

⚡ Real-Time Results, Smarter Decisions
By bringing the LECO CS744 analyzer on-site, we’ve reduced testing turnaround time from 3–5 days to under 2 minutes. Using high-temperature combustion (up to 1,400°C) and advanced infrared detection, we can measure carbon and sulphur content instantly, key indicators for acid-generating potential (AP) and neutralization potential (NP).

🛡️ A “Safety First” Approach
BCP is going beyond industry standards by adopting a more conservative neutralization potential ratio (NPR) threshold of 2.5 (vs. the typical 2.0), ensuring stronger protection for the environment. We’re also conducting a carbon correlation study to further refine our neutralization calculations.

✅ Built-In Quality & Compliance
We pair speed with rigor:
✔ Every 5th sample is validated by an external certified lab
✔ Continuous QA/QC supports internal accuracy and research
✔ Processes are under QEP review to meet—and exceed—provincial standards

🌍 Why This Matters
• Reduced carbon footprint from transport and equipment idling
• Precise, real-time material classification
• Faster decision-making to keep construction moving efficiently

This is what innovation and environmental stewardship look like on the ground. 🌿

🔹 Meet Michael Scott Jolly – Office Engineer at BCP 🔹

Representing EBC inc., Michael Scott Jolly is an Office Engineer on Metro Vancouver’s Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project, bringing fresh perspective and strong technical curiosity to the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP) team.

Michael joined the project during the pre mobilization phase in 2024, completing an internship with EBC inc. After graduating with a degree in Civil Engineering, he was invited to return to the team full time—an opportunity he was excited to accept. Now, with nearly one year in the construction industry, Michael is building a solid foundation in complex infrastructure delivery.

In his role as Office Engineer, Michael thrives on exposure to diverse engineering challenges and values learning from the depth of knowledge across the project team.
Michael has strong personal ties to Thailand, one of the most interesting places he’s visited, thanks to extended family living there. A tradition that remains close to his heart is Thanksgiving gatherings, where catching up with friends and family over great food is always the highlight.

When it comes to downtime, Michael enjoys a steak dinner (any variation will do), appreciates movies and TV shows—especially the artistry behind visual effects—and unwinds by swimming in a river on hot days or relaxing with herbal tea when the weather turns cold.

A fun fact most people don’t know: Michael can play the bagpipes, a skill he developed through years of training as an army cadet. His favourite season is fall, when colourful scenery meets the first cool air after summer, and at home he’s kept company by Milo, his tuxedo cat.

Michael’s early career is just getting started, but his curiosity, adaptability, and enthusiasm for learning make him a valued part of the BCP team as they deliver one of Metro Vancouver’s most important infrastructure projects.

🔹 Meet Stephen Green – Chief Construction Superintendent at BCP 🔹

With over four decades of construction experience—most of it deep underground—Stephen Green brings a lifetime of tunnelling expertise to the Burrard-Chilco Partnership (BCP), proudly representing EBC inc.

Stephen got his start in construction back in 1984 as a labourer, moving into tunnel work in 1989. Since then, his career has taken him across the globe, including major projects in New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, and India. Today, he’s applying that wealth of knowledge to one of Metro Vancouver’s most significant infrastructure upgrades: the Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project.

💬 “I’ve followed this project since it was first envisioned in 2018. When a colleague asked if I’d be interested if a position opened up, the answer was yes.”

As Chief Construction Superintendent, Stephen is known for his tunnel expertise and steady leadership: guiding teams, supporting safe operations, and keeping the work moving with precision and purpose.

Stephen grew up in Cromwell, Central Otago, a small town in New Zealand’s South Island known for its cherries, stone fruits, and now its world renowned w**e scene with more than 120 w**eries in the region.

When it comes to downtime, Stephen keeps things simple: sandwiches or a good steak & pepper pie are his comfort foods of choice. And his favourite travel memory? Japan—“where ancient culture meets the future.”

A fun fact most people don’t know: Stephen is a chef, and he loves blending traditional cooking with Asian flavours and techniques. If he could instantly master a skill, it would be golf—“it takes a lot of skill to hit that small white ball, aye!”

He’s also curious to try pickleball, prefers winter thanks to his rugby roots, starts his day with coffee, and winds down with what he affectionately calls “brown bubbly water.” His go to rewatchables? The Shawshank Redemption and The Blues Brothers—timeless classics he never tires of.

Stephen’s career spans continents, cultures, and countless kilometres of tunnel—but at the heart of it all is the same steady passion: building meaningful infrastructure that lasts.
