The Lion’s
Head Harbour Committee wanted to expand its marina capacity
from 120 to
approximately 250 slips. Riggs Engineering met with the
Harbour Committee to establish
parameters for the expansion and developed seven schemes
for their consideration. The
recommended scheme was adopted and is currently being
implemented.
Riggs Engineering designed a small sheet pile wall extension
that was completed in 1999 and a 90 metre long rip-rap
revetment along the north shore that was implemented in
2000. The launching ramp was also extended this year to
accommodate the low water levels. We carried out a hydrographic
survey and prepared a dredging contract to removed 7,400
cubic metres of material and the site work is nearing
completion.
Riggs Engineering prepared exhibits and attended a large
public consultation meeting where all of the design considerations
were presented and environmental concerns were addressed.
This work has proceeded largely because of the vision
of the harbour committee and has received only token funding
from DFO-Small Craft Harbours Branch. It also reflects
the confidence the Harbour Committee has in Riggs Engineering.
The construction of the additional floating docks may
proceed this winter with the approval of funding from
the municipality.
Brian Riggs is the lead engineer on this project. |
