Breakwater Update

Busy time of year! Thank you to Bruce for finding some interesting photo's of the project (see the previous post for these photo's).


Here is the latest from Hugh Scarth:

• Anchor Blocks are being installed. 5 of the 7 have been completed
• Sheet Pile is going to begin soon
• They do not work in temperatures below -20C due to risk of damage to equipment
• There will be installed a 12" vertical pipe for the mast stepper prior to back filling around the Sheet Pile
• The mast stepper will need to be re engineered to work with the new base and it is expected that a stay system will be used to support it. The good news is due to the location of the stepper, the guy wires should not be in the way.

I noticed some activity down at the site today. It was quite a shock to see a crane on the wharf - Last time I saw that there were boats too - but not today. I think they are getting prepared to begin the installation of the Sheet Pile (but I will confirm that).

Crane on site - Feb 15

Progress as of Feb 12. The end 1/3 of the breakwater is at
the final height and will extend, at this height, to the where
the pavement ends at the road.
