Private Recreational Dock Construction - Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project which involves the construction of the private dock and will consist of the removal of the existing landings and walkways within the upland area. The existing upper stairway will remain to provide access to a new upper landing platform that connects with stairs to a lower landing platform within the licensed waterlot area. Connected to the lower platform will be an actuating gangway that connects to a float supported by four piles, each having four pile stops to prevent the float from settling on the seabed during low tides. Floatation for the dock will be of foam material encased in plastic with float stops on supporting pilings providing clearance from the seabed. The ramp and dock will be prefabricated off-site and then the components including the piles will be floated to the site by barge and installed using a marine crane.
