Project Background

Working in a live, high-traffic international terminal, AHC successfully delivered project management and logistical support for three PRET projects at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), spanning Pier A/B, Pier C, and Pier D, including the first standalone Pret location in B.C. and the first at a Canadian airport. Providing ongoing logistical and coordination support across all three project locations, AHC helped ensure activities progressed in line with established schedules. The team coordinated multiple vendors, equipment suppliers, and stakeholders to ensure the timely delivery, distribution, and availability of all required equipment and materials.
These projects demanded tight coordination between construction activities, vendor deliveries, and airport operations, all while maintaining safety and minimizing disruption to travellers and tenants. AHC’s role in managing equipment logistics and multi-stakeholder coordination was instrumental in keeping each project on track and seamlessly integrated into the active terminal environment.
