The Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) Nanaimo spill response base was constructed on the Nanaimo Port Authority property and serves as a center for marine response operations during spill events.  The $11.2M new building has a two-storey office area and warehouse space, as well as a building equipment storage yard, and marine facilities for response vessels.

RPE completed the mechanical and plumbing design for the project, as well as submission of a performance specification for Fire Protection.
