Flavelle Sawmill Can-Buoy Removals

The Proposed Project 

Fraser River Pile & Dredge (GP) Inc., on behalf of Mill & Timber Products Ltd., proposes to remove four can-buoys that currently pose a navigational safety hazard as they are no longer used to secure log rafts and are not properly equipped with marine beacon lights. The Tenant would like to remove them as soon as possible to minimize the potential for accidental collisions from recreational vessels in the upcoming recreational boating season. 

Decommission of the can-buoys will be completed using a derrick barge or a floating barge and crane. To extract the can-buoys, the crane line will be attached to the lifting lug located on the can-buoy and the whole system, (i.e., concrete anchor block and anchor chain,) and placed onto the derrick or barge for transport off-site. The can-buoys will be transported to an upland location for potential later reuse. Divers will not be required, nor excavation around the anchor blocks on the seabed. 

The proposed Project will take approximately one to two days to complete.
