In-stream and environmental work demands a different kind of discipline - and it's one of Richco's specialties.

We've spent years delivering creek rehabilitation, bank stabilization, flood mitigation, and habitat restoration projects across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, working within tight environmental windows, alongside Qualified Environmental Professionals, and under the close watch of regulatory agencies and Indigenous monitors. Our in-stream team is led by Mark Van Geel, whose hands-on expertise in watercourse behaviour, sediment management, and ecological sensitivity has made him one of the most trusted operators in this space.

When recent Atmospheric River events have hit the Fraser Valley, municipalities and regional districts called Richco for emergency response work — mobilizing quickly under extreme conditions to restore stability, protect infrastructure, and limit environmental impact. That's the kind of contractor we are.
