Neighbourhood Scale for the River Park revitalization project in Kingston, Ontario.
Stirling Bridge cleaned up and redeveloped a 5.5-hectare (14-acre) brownfield property in Kingston. About 3,500 tonnes of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, concrete and bedrock were addressed in the remediation program. The project will result in the construction of a 144-townhouse community complete with parkettes and walkways along the waterfront and a preserved former native archaeological site.
XCG Consultants Ltd. provided environmental consulting services for this project. Quantum Murray LP provided remediation contracting services.
