Air Canada YVR Simulator Building Replacement Project

Air Canada is proposing the expansion and replacement of the flight simulator facility located at the Vancouver International Airport (YVR), at 6001 Grant McConachie Way, Richmond, British Columbia.

 

The project site is currently used as an existing flight simulator and building. This replacement project will require demolition of portions of the existing facility and construction of new buildings to house new flight simulator equipment.  The proposed replacement Project will be constructed in three phases:

  • Phase 1: Construction of a two-storey expansion building (approximately 700sqm).
  • Phase 2: Demolishing existing centre buildings (the east and west buildings to remain in place)
  • Phase 3: Construction of a two-storey building (approximately 1500sqm)over part of the demolished buildings footprint to connect to the building constructed in Phase 1. The north end of the demolished area will be converted into a parking area.

 

The project activities will include paving for the new parking area, concrete removal/paving, building demolition and building construction.
