Seaspan Vancouver Drydock waterlot expansion

The proposed project

Seaspan propose an expansion of their Vancouver Drydock location, including the expansion of their waterlot by 40m to the west. Physical works include the installation of a work pontoon and two additional drydocks to the west of the existing two drydocks, one located on either side of the existing deep-water outfitting pier. Works include:

  • Two new drydocks, one measuring  approximately 100m x 30m, and the other approximately 55m x 22m
  • Six (6) new steel piles
  • A new work float or "pontoon" measuring 98m x 13m
  • 3 ramps to connect the pier to the work pontoon, and the pontoon to the new drydocks
  • The southward relocation of the existing Seaspan Careen by 40m (the existing drydock located on the west side of the deep water outfitting pier)
  • Other miscellaneous works such as the location of utilities and lights on the new or relocated structures
