Pacific Pile & Marine (PPM) may
not be a household name, but
if you’re in the marine or heavy
civil industry, it’s a name you
should get to know. PPM was formed
in 2008 as a continuation of Hurlen
Construction, which dates back nearly
50 years to provide best-in-class services
to the Western United States
and Canada.
Between 2010 and 2011, PPM
partnered on a remote design-build
run-of-river project northeast of
Sechelt, B.C. involving two new greenfield
hydro facilities. Following that
project, PPM determined the market
would be better serviced by establishing
a larger presence in the area and in
early 2017, made good on that decision
by establishing a B.C.-based subsidiary,
PPM Civil Constructors.
PPM and PPM Civil Constructors
excel in complex construction – especially
in remote locations. Both share
resources, including equipment and
personnel, drawing on a knowledge
base spanning over three decades.
The only true distinguishing factor
following the formation is the geographic
split. PPM provides services
across the Pacific Northwest, Alaska,
Montana and California, while PPM

Civil Constructors focuses on Western
Canada, specifically in B.C.
“The growing infrastructure needs
of Western Canada are very similar
to those of the Pacific Northwest and
areas of Alaska,” said Kustaa Mansfield,
business development with PPM. “The
B.C. market is a great fit for what we
do. While we’re able to effectively service
our projects from our waterfront
office in Seattle, we realized there
were distinct advantages to a more
local presence.”
PPM’s portfolio spans a wide range
of foundation and marine structures
such as coastal ports, terminals,
