Pitt Meadows’ first large-scale healthcare P3 project, which Shalana calls “very exciting.” “That was where we really got to learn how those complex types of healthcare facilities really work,” she says. “We’ve really been able to grow based on that lesson, which has been great.” “We also really got to solidify a long-term relationship with EllisDon,” she adds, “and that has also been great. They’re a really good general contractor and they make it easy to work with them.” Shalana believes that Pitt Meadows was the right choice for that project because of their previous experience. It may have been their first large-scale healthcare P3 project, but it was far from their first largescale project in general, or even their first complex P3 project. “Over the years, we had proven that we can execute on jobs of that size and that complexity,” Shalana says. “We had even done a couple of other projects with EllisDon, like the PARQ Casino and the Emily Carr University of Art & Design, which were really large projects. We had also executed a couple P3 projects with other clients that were quite complex.” “So we hadn’t done a hospital before, but we had definitely demonstrated that we could handle something that large and that complex,” she adds, “and we already had that relationship set up. It just made a lot of sense.” Pitt Meadows Plumbing was ultimately responsible for the entire mechanical install on that project – they did all of the HVAC, plumbing, fireprotection, and medical gas.
