Project Summary:

​

Construction of concrete deck on piles and floating docks at the Canadian Coast Guard Search and Rescue Facility in Portsmouth Harbour, Kingston, Ontario, including placement of 75 mm to 150 mm crushed rock (2,000 tonne) and placement of 100 kg to 200 kg crushed rock (2,000 tonne) shoreline protection and a concrete retaining wall.

​

​The shoreline protection systems created a boundary between Lake Ontario and the Kingston Waterfront Trail.

 

Sediment fencing was required around the land-based work area. In-water sediment protection included supply, install, maintain and remove turbidity curtains. Turbidity curtains consisted of turbidity curtain geosynthetic, load line, flotation, ballast, anchors, mooring buoys, mooring lines, adjustment lines, and tie-downs.

 

Lake Sturgeon (endangered) and American Eel (endangered) are known to be in the vicinity of the new dock and shoreline protection.
