Pacific Pile & Marine Civil Constructors

PPM's new subsidiary services Western Canada By Lisa Kopochinski 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.
