24/7 RESPONSE FLEET | DISPATCH 250-714-8815
Emergency coordinators need to know exactly what equipment can be mobilized, what it can do and how it will reach the incident. Clark Pacific Excavating maintains a broad heavy-equipment and trucking fleet for emergency response across Vancouver Island.
Our response resources include CAT excavators from mini to 55-tonne class, loaders, a low-ground-pressure track skid steer, dump trucks, an eight-axle lowbed combination, compactors, six 3-inch pumps and sea-can storage capability.
Crews can typically mobilize within 1–2 hours. Equipment transported on our own lowbed can typically mobilize to sites roughly within one hour of Nanaimo in about 2–4 hours. Approximately 30 operators can be available within 2–12 hours, with broader staffing capacity available for major incidents.
Rather than confusing emergency-management activation levels with contractor packages, Clark Pacific groups equipment by operational objective. Final combinations are confirmed at dispatch based on the assignment.
Tracked excavator, pumps, support crew and trucking for drainage, access and localized flood work.
Large excavator, loaders and trucks for berms, diversion, debris and high-volume earthmoving.
Excavator, aggregate trucks and compaction equipment for washouts and temporary access.
Thumb-equipped excavator, loader and dump trucks for heavy storm and flood debris.
Dump trucks, supplier coordination and loaders for sand, gravel, road base and riprap.
Multiple machines, trucks and crews coordinated for large or multi-site civil emergencies.
