Concrete Pad Installation

There is some real work being done on the breakwater now. Have a look at some of the photo's provided by Bruce today. They are working on the concrete pads that will be used to eventually attach the floating docks to. Keep in mind that installing docks along the full length of the breakwater is another phase of the project. The plan this year is to install a few docks that will be temporarily used for loading and unloading. Of course, circumstances change so...stay tuned.

In the photo's below we see them working on the second of 7 pads. The light base has already been poured.


Ever so slightly, you can see the bales of hay at the
end of the breakwater. They are there to insulate the Pad
that has been installed as the foundation for the
breakwater navigation light


A form for the concrete pad. Note the rebar in the box.
It is there for future attachment points


Pouring concrete out here is a multi-step process


Once the concrete hardens, the excavator will place
armour stone around the blocks to further secure
them within the breakwater structure
