Arica Breakwater
Arica, Chile
Baird was asked by Terminal Puerto Arica to assess the condition of the breakwater of the port. The main breakwater was built in the early sixties using 16-ton tetrapods. Due to damage observed during the monitoring program, the elbow of the breakwater was repaired using 5.0 m3 CoreLoc units. A program of annual monitoring has been undertaken since the repair took place in 2007.
Whitesand First Nation Shoreline Stabilization
Lake Nipigon, ON, Canada
Baird was retained to complete the planning, design and construction services to protect 1,400 metres of eroding shoreline on Whitesand First Nation traditional land, located on the north shore of Lake Nipigon. The design consisted of an armour stone revetment and slope stabilization.
