remediation work in Esquimalt Harbour to improve the sustainability of our waters and the surrounding marine life environment,” says Schauerte. “Along with the replacement of the two jetties, the concurrent goal is to remediate the harbour sediment to reduce the incidence of contaminants, including heavy metals, to improve the health of the overall harbour and its marine life.” Lessons learned from B Jetty’s construction are already shaping the next phase of the project. “Years of expertise developed through the construction and design of B Jetty have been carried forward to influence changes in design to A Jetty as well as construction techniques,” says Schauerte. From refining pile design to using a unique concrete mix, these improvements will streamline the process. Additionally, limited land availability has led to innovative material handling solutions. “The contractor and sub-consultants developed construction sequencing and material handling processes using barges moored to temporary piles. 18 APR 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
