Dock Replacement Tender

Project ID : 52902304

Project Description and Rationale : The Dock Renewal program will be implemented over the next 10 years and as seawall rehabilitation projects are completed. The current docks in the harbours will be changed from a wood dock with plastic float dock to a spiral steel tube dock plate form with integrated power and water marine pedestals. The current wooden docks are damaged by extreme wave uprush during storms and this actions damages these docks and greatly reduces their life - the average lifespan for these docks is 3-6 years. The spiral steel tube docks are more robust and capable of withstanding the extreme wave uprush with little to no damage with a minimum lifespan of 25 years. The spiral steel tube docks can also remain in the water over the winter reducing staff time and cost of dismantling the harbour at the end of the season. The funding requested for this project in 2023 is for renewal/replacement docks within Oakville harbour.
