design is by Wood PLC. Once
complete—the project is
scheduled to be totally
operational by 2028—the
new jetties will have 33
percent more “berthing”
space, with Jetty “A” being
305 metres long, and “B” 274
metres long. “As for the design of
the new jetties, the Consulting Engineers
deserve a ton of credit working through the
engineering modeling of the new structures,
and that engineering and design work has tak-
en a great deal of time and effort,” says Orford.
“The work that is currently underway, and that
which has been already completed, have been
our “warm-up” phases and we certainly look
forward to bringing onboard the general con-
tractor (builder) team in the near future.”
Started in 2012, the first phase of the project
was a kilometre-long underground tunnel,
running through the centre of the dockyard
with power and telecommunication wires and
water, steam and sewer mains. Concurrent
with the jetty revitalization work, removal and
remediation of contaminated areas of the har-
bour seabed and foreshore fill within Esqui-
malt Harbour is also being undertaken, negat-
ing the impact of over 100 years of industrial
construction
e of a number
rojects that are
ay, or soon to be
, in the waters of
Harbour,”
