Project Scope
This project required construction of a new ship-loading facility capable of loading 2000 metric tons per hour of gravel. Work consisted of concrete support foundations on shore with double corrosion resistant dywidag rock anchors with 40 feet of penetration and 150-ton hold-down force each. Site work included rock blasting, site grading, steel piling installation and wharf structural steel. Due to the downturn in the market conditions, work ceased on site following the installation of all foundations containing approximately 400m3 of concrete. Remote access and logistics were a critical part of this project due to its remote location which allowed only barge, float plane and boat access.
