“We had a good team out
there in terms of working with
Riggs Engineering and McNally,
the general contractor,” said
Thomson. “McNally was the
marine support, providing
tug boats, relocating barges
around the work areas, bringing
materials out to us. It made
for a very good partnership,
allowing us to focus on our job
– installing the sheet piles.”
In the final count,
Bermingham crews drove
1,650 pairs of sheet piles, with
the face wall extending a little
over one metre and the anchor
wall about three metres above
the waterline. By 2020, most of
the contaminated sediments from the harbour floor will be
inside the ECF; by 2023 any water will be removed and the
contained sediment compacted, weighed down and sealed
in with an impermeable cap. At that time, the Hamilton Port
Authority will accept ownership.
It is a job well done, on many different levels. Using generations
of field experience and its capability to adapt to
changing situations, Bermingham Foundation Solutions has
contributed to the elimination of a significant source of contamination
in the Great Lakes for the benefit of today and
into the future.
