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.
Confederation Bridge – Scour Assessment, Design and Monitoring
Prince Edward Island, Canada
The Confederation Bridge spans the Northumberland Strait and connects Prince Edward Island to mainland Canada. Baird completed a comprehensive scour investigation for the project, including the assessment of scour potential, design of scour protection for selected piers and the design and implementation of a scour monitoring program.
