Commercial/Institutional Piping Removal — Vancouver

Outdated steam pipes, fuel-oil lines, and corroded valves slow down tenant improvements and green-building retrofits. Eco Metal Recycling Inc. now offers its Ontario-honed expertise in Vancouver, providing turnkey piping—and Pumps and Valves Removal—that meets the City’s Salvage & Abatement requirements.

Our Vancouver Commercial/ Institutional Piping Removal Workflow

  1. Hazardous Materials Survey & Lagging Removal – We begin with a full site assessment to identify asbestos, insulation, or other hazardous materials. Certified crews safely remove and dispose of all lagging in compliance with BC regulations.

  2. Pumps & Valves Removal – Our technicians isolate systems, perform drain-downs, and safely extract pumps and valves—even in tight mechanical rooms or congested plant spaces.

  3. Sectional Pipe Extraction – Using rope-access methods or floor-cutting techniques, we dismantle risers and piping systems efficiently, including those in high-rise or restricted-access areas.

  4. Street-Use & Lift Planning – When crane lifts are required, we handle all logistics, including securing Temporary Street Occupancy permits and coordinating traffic management for minimal disruption.

  5. Recycling & Compliance Pack – Upon project completion, we provide full documentation—including weight tickets, disposal manifests, and engineer-sealed close-out letters—to meet regulatory and environmental requirements.

Vancouver Permits & Compliance

  • Salvage & Abatement Permit – Before any commercial demolition begins in Vancouver, a Salvage & Abatement Permit must be obtained from the City of Vancouver. This permit covers the removal of hazardous materials and the salvage of reusable building components.

  • Demolition or Alteration Building Permit – Once salvage work is completed and all live utility services have been properly capped, a Demolition or Alteration Permit is required. This is issued by the Development & Building Services Centre.

  • Temporary Street Use Permit – If your project involves the use of cranes or equipment that will occupy sidewalks or traffic lanes, a Temporary Street Use Permit must be secured from Engineering Services to ensure public safety and traffic control.

  • WorkSafeBC Notice of Project (Asbestos) – When asbestos-containing lagging is present on pressurized systems, a Notice of Project must be filed with WorkSafeBC before any removal work begins, as per provincial health and safety regulations.
