Our Burnaby Commercial / Institutional Piping-Removal Workflow

  1. Hazardous-Materials Survey & Lagging Removal – Certified techs strip asbestos or fibreglass insulation under WorkSafeBC Part 6.

  2. Pumps & Valves Removal – Systems are isolated, drained, unbolted, and lifted out—even in tight mechanical rooms.

  3. Sectional Pipe Extraction – We cut and lower gas, boiler, or hydronic lines using rope-access or floor-cut techniques.

  4. Street-Use & Lift Planning – When roof picks are needed, we secure Burnaby Street-Use or Lane-Closure permits and supply traffic control.

  5. Recycling & Compliance Pack – Metals are recycled to meet the ≥ 70% diversion target in Bylaw 14461; you receive weight tickets and engineer-stamped letters for close-out.

Burnaby Permits & Compliance for Piping-Removal

  • Building or Demolition Permit – A permit from the City of Burnaby Building Division is required before removing any structure or altering piping networks. This applies to both interior and exterior mechanical system removals.

  • C&D Waste Diversion Plan (Bylaw 14461) – Under Burnaby’s bylaw, at least 70% of demolition materials must be recycled or reused. A refundable deposit is collected up front and returned upon submission of a compliant post-demolition report. This requirement is overseen by the Climate Action & Energy Division.

  • Temporary Street-Use / Lane-Closure Permit – If your project involves crane lifts, sidewalk occupation, or lane closures, a permit from the Engineering Department is required to manage traffic and public safety during work.

  • WorkSafeBC Notice of Project (Asbestos) – If asbestos-containing lagging is present on pressurized systems, you must file a Notice of Project with WorkSafeBC prior to removal, in accordance with provincial safety regulations.
