Canyon Creek Repository Project Nears Completion

Coeur d'Alene Crane (CDA Crane) is in the final year of construction at the Canyon Creek Repository/Waste Consolidation Area (CCR/WCA) in Burke, Idaho. Managed by the Coeur d'Alene Work Trust, this long-term project addresses both new and historical clean-up efforts in the region. The primary goal of the Canyon Creek Repository is to safely contain and manage mine waste materials, particularly from high-priority clean-up sites, mitigating the significant health risks posed by contaminants like lead and arsenic to humans and wildlife. 

This repository is a key component of a broader initiative to rehabilitate the environment, ensuring that contaminated materials are securely stored and do not threaten surrounding communities. 

CDA Crane, with over thirty years of experience in the Pacific Northwest, is renowned for its high standards of safety and professionalism. The company offers a range of services, including heavy lifting, structural support, and site preparation, making it an ideal partner for this critical project. 

The Canyon Creek Repository project is vital for several reasons: 

  • Environmental Protection: Safeguarding local ecosystems and water sources.
  • Public Health: Reducing the risk of exposure to harmful substances for nearby communities.
  • Economic Support: Boosting local employment and economy by involving local contractors and suppliers.
  • Future Generations: Ensuring a rehabilitated environment for the future.

CDA Crane's role encompasses heavy lifting and transport, structural support, site preparation, and maintenance, ensuring the construction process runs smoothly and safely. The company also monitors the stability and integrity of the repository structures, making necessary adjustments to ensure long-term effectiveness. 

For this project, CDA Crane is utilizing a rented ICE® 44 Vibratory Hammer from International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®) for several key tasks, including driving piles to provide foundational support for various structures within the repository, installing H piles to create retaining walls and other barriers, and extracting old or temporary piles to make way for new construction. The ICE® 44 is particularly effective due to its high vibration isolation and pulling capacity, meeting the heavy-duty requirements of the repository project. 

Known for its high energy output and efficiency, CDA Crane also utilized their previously purchased ICE® 1-36V2 Diesel Hammer to further drive the steel piles into the ground. The hammer's ability to deliver consistent and powerful blows made it ideal for this type of heavy-duty construction work. Its specifications, such as a ram weight of 7,940 lbs and a rated energy of 93,740 ft-lbs at fuel setting 4, ensured that the piles were driven deep enough to provide the necessary support. 

CDA Crane's expertise in handling heavy machinery and complex construction tasks is tantamount to the successful completion of the Canyon Creek Repository rehabilitation. Kudos to Coeur d'Alene Crane! Your extensive industry knowledge and dedication to safety are essential for restoring the environment, protecting public health, and promoting sustainable development in the area. ICE® is thrilled to be the driving force behind this progressive project, fostering safe and clean expansion in Burke, ID.
