As the world turns its attention to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, we are proud to reflect on Emil Anderson Construction’s role in delivering venues for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
In 2005, EAC was contracted by VANOC to complete the roadworks and utilities installation for the Whistler Sliding Centre, including significant rock excavation, retaining walls, drainage systems, storm sewer, and water lines. This strong collaboration led to EAC constructing the bobsleigh and luge track, now recognized as the fastest bobsleigh track in the world. The track construction project received the 2008 Century Award and Public Works Award from the Concrete Construction Association.
EAC also delivered major site works at the Nordic Competition Venue, now Whistler Olympic Park. Beginning in 2006, the team completed grading, utilities, roadworks, and the technically demanding landing hill excavation. In 2007, construction of the ski jump structure followed, including the steel jump, judges’ tower, and snow-making and refrigeration systems. The venue hosted its first competition in January 2008.
We are honoured to have contributed to facilities that welcomed the world and continue to serve athletes and the community today.
