Golden Ears Pump Station

The Golden Ears Pump Station features a unique artistic design on the extensive green roof. With four differently coloured sedum mats the green roof has an artistic style that required our team of installers to execute.

Architek has a deep understanding of the requirements for municipal industrial buildings.

Design

The green roof had used a Diadrain H40 drain board, engineered grow media, and a complex planting pattern with diverse colours of sedums.

Installation

Required high degree of skill to execute sedum design. Grow media was augmented with high organic matter compost to boost the plants.

Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance has included removal of invasive plants that can cause problems to the building envelope and application of beneficial microorganisms and nutrients with compost extract.

Challenges / Solutions

Working with site to find best practices for installation to ensure long-term health of plants. Proper sequencing with general contractor to ensure that plants were not walked on.

Our Vancouver offices are located on the unceded and ancestral territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial.

Vancouver is located on territory that was never ceded, or given up to the Crown by the Musqueam, Squamish, or Tsleil-Waututh peoples. The term unceded acknowledges the dispossession of the land and the inherent rights that Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh hold to the territory. The term serves as a reminder that Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh have never left their territories and will always retain their jurisdiction and relationships with the territory.
