Dynamite Construction

We are proud of our crew who has been working hard to reopen . We are happy to say the highway is now open in the Cameron Lake area following a closure due to wildfires.

Crews have installed safety measures to allow the roadway to reopen with a temporary concrete barrier wall and protective mesh curtains. They are designed to prevent falling rocks and trees from tumbling into the path of motorists.

Thank you to Andi Buechi with Geobrugg for quickly delivering your innovative design of the suspended mesh system and barrier fencing.

Thank you to International Steel Fabrication Inc. for your quick delivery of some integral components for this project.

Thank you to Gorosh Cranes Ltd. and RKM Crane Services for the quick mobilization of your cranes to site.

Kudos to Main Road and to BC Transportation and Infrastructure for quickly and safely coordinating the work to get this project done.

Some great drone footage of our crew in Summerland working on Highway 97 to stabilize the slope after the recent landslide.

Crews are working hard to reopen #BCHwy97 in #Summerland to regular capacity after a recent landslide. This includes geotechnical engineers using air bags to safely remove unstable soil and materials. Air bags are lowered into the tension cracks of the unstable material and then inflated so that the crack expands, and blocks of material are dislodged. This gives better control over how much material is released at a time.

While some of our guys are busy on reopening Highway 4 we still have a crew working in Summerland on Highway 97 to try to get the highway back to regular capacity after the recent landslide.

There will be intermittent closures of this stretch of highway during off-peak hours ranging from 20-30 minutes over the next 7-10 days to accommodate this work.
