Core6 Environmental

As part of our commitment to staff development and training, Core6 enjoyed a sunny day at the Omega Environmental Drilling Ltd. yard for our much-anticipated annual field school training event. We were able to cover a wealth of topics - drilling, well installation, well development, soil, groundwater and vapour sampling. Our team appreciated the opportunity for hands-on learning under the direction of our Training Committee. Thank you to Omega for hosting!

Core6 has taken on quite a few interesting hydrogeological projects and we are growing. Do you know of someone who would be a good fit? Entry Level or Intermediate - We'd love to talk!

Giving him the month of January to ease into his new position, Core6 is now pleased to announce the addition of Daniel Schencks, GIT, PMP as our new Project Manager based in Victoria. Daniel will be working as an extension of our head office here in Vancouver and will be collaborating with our business development team to grow our presence and capacity on Vancouver Island. In his role, Daniel will be managing and supporting development and contaminated sites related projects including Phase I & II ESAs, Detailed Site Investigations and remediations on sites in BC. His knowledge and over 7 years of experience of the Federal and Provincial Contaminated Sites regimes allow him to provide sound advice to clients to meet project objectives while adhering to regulatory requirements. Daniel, we are excited to have you join the team!    Please do not hesitate to reach out to Daniel at dschencks@core6.ca

Today is Core6 12th anniversary and we would like to share some of the many highlights we had in our twelfth year. Core6 was successful in being selected as a preferred consultant for Fisheries and Oceans Canada for both Site Assessment and Risk Assessment services, we would like to thank DFO for their continued trust and engagement. We were able to secure a Certificate of Compliance from BC Environment and Climate Change Strategy for the future Newton Community Centre; a critical piece for this important development. We were also able to obtain a Release from the BC Ministry of Environment to support the municipal permitting process in preparation for the vital upgrades at the Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. We continued our sharing of knowledge and developed “A Framework To Assess Climate Change Impacts On Contaminated Sites In British Columbia” for the Society of Contaminated Sites Approved Professionals of BC.  This framework provides guidance for the assessment of climate change impacts on contaminated sites. We presented on our work at a CSAP Professional Development meeting and the framework can also be found on EGBC’s website under Climate Change Information - Vulnerability Risk Assessments. Our hydrogeology services continued to be in high demand with our work on both the Oakridge and Jericho development projects in the City of Vancouver We signed on to the Net Zero Challenge and look forward to working on reducing our carbon footprint in the work we do.  We continued to grow sustainably adding 7 staff, including a Senior Project Manager.  Core6 is committed to being a Living Wage Employer.   Core6 had the honour of supporting the following organizations and charities over the past year: Lupus Canada, Vancouver and Victoria food banks, Family Services of the North Shore, and community Christmas funds within Musqueam Indian Band and the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation. We’d like to thank all our clients, our subcontractors and our colleagues throughout our industry that have contributed to our continued success.  

A great opportunity to get involved!

Core6 Environmental is pleased to have worked with the Contaminated Sites Approved Professionals (CSAP) Society to develop tools to help contaminated lands practitioners identify the climate change hazards that have the potential to affect a given property and what could potentially be the impacts on the site’s contamination. The tools include multiple tables and conceptual site models illustrating potential climate change impacts on the site’s contamination. Our team of climate change advisors also developed a methodology to conduct climate change vulnerability assessments. The preliminary findings of this work were presented at a CSAP Professional Development Workshop in June 2023  with our final findings being presented in future workshops.  https://lnkd.in/g5s2Xuss While our work focussed on site contamination, the methodology and tools developed can be implemented on the assessment of existing infrastructure and used throughout the design process for new builds. Feel free to reach out to us so we can help you adapt to one of the largest challenges we face today.
