In an effort to ease congestion and consolidate future activities on the Oshawa Port Authority’s eastern wharf, Baird completed an analysis of coastal conditions, design development, preparation of construction plans and documents, and construction administration for a new berth at the Port of Oshawa.
In 2015, Baird completed the construction of a new berth at the Port of Oshawa which included the removal of an existing rubble mound breakwater and confined disposal facility bund, installation of 220m of new steel combi-wall quay wall, and the installation of new fenders and bollards. Baird worked closely with the Environmental Consultant to create and implement the Environmental Protection Plan and obtain regulatory approvals. In addition to design, Baird provided full-time on-site representation for the Owner, reviewing workmanship, monitoring cost, daily interaction with the contractor, and overall contract administration. Additionally, the schedule and marine plant was coordinated to maintain vessel traffic within the existing harbour.
