In the aftermath of a significant fire incident in November 2017 that destroyed a substantial portion of the Tolko Lakeview sawmill, D7 Mechanical was contracted to undertake the subsequent rebuild.
Tasked with the demolition of the old fire protection system and the installation of critical infrastructure, including underground utilities, fire protection, hydraulic & pneumatic piping, as well as plumbing & heating, D7 Mechanical led a large crew of 35 throughout the project.
The Lakeview Lumber Division, acquired by Tolko in 2004 as part of the Riverside Forest Products purchase, has emerged as a modern, competitive facility following the extensive redesign and rebuilding efforts. Presently employing 190 individuals, the mill stands as a testament to resilience and strategic preparation for the industry challenges of the future.
This project exemplifies D7 Mechanical's commitment to instrumental roles in large-scale reconstruction endeavors.
