Fisheries and Oceans Canada Project: Reconstruction of Queen’s Wharf in Québec City Rod Lapierre and Olivier RoussyFisheries and Oceans Canada

Queen’s Wharf is part of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) real estate portfolio and serves as a Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) base in Québec City. Built in 1950, this wharf is located in the Old Port of Québec, in a historic and tourist area that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Queen’s Wharf has reached the end of its useful life and its reconstruction is being carried out in several project phases. The planning and execution of this reconstruction require the collaboration and involvement of multiple public and private stakeholders in various areas of expertise. In addition, throughout this work, communication with the wharf’s users and CCG Management is essential since CCG services must remain operational.

This project is an excellent example of integrating and implementing real estate theories and practices. However, several factors can make this task more challenging than expected. Sharing the experience so far gained in this project can certainly contribute to improving winning conditions for other projects.

B Jetty Reconstruction, CFB Esquimalt, BC Michael Martell1 and Upul Atukorala2

1Stantec Consulting Limited2Golder Associates Ltd.

The project involves the reconstruction of B Jetty at CFB Esquimalt – home to Canada’s Pacific marine fleet – to accommodate the next class of offshore patrol vessels, frigates and supply vessels.

The preferred structural scheme was to be a pipe piled finger pier with reinforced concrete pilecaps, copewalls, deck and deck support beams, about 270 m in length and 26 m wide, with rail mounted crane and service tunnels along each berth face. Based on the existing geotechnical conditions, the pipe pile scheme was found to be the only suitable structural form for B Jetty.

The presentation will address the overall project including a number of challenging conditions including: geotechnical; deep pile installation; earthquake; tsunami; blasting; contaminated soil remediation; and, conflict with future A Jetty.

exceeded its design life and infrastructure replacements need to be performed both immediately and in the medium term. Owing to the lack of available space to accommodate new customers, the Port is implementing the Beauport 2020 project in order to generate the necessary income for this rehabilitation.

The Beauport 2020 project consists of a new wharf line which will be 610 meters in length and ready to accommodate two large ships simultaneously. A new field covering more than 17 hectares will be created and linked to a pre-existing intermodal system which can be enhanced as necessary.

Infrastructure Inspection Methodology Using a Combination of MBES Soundings and Conventional DivingLuc Garand, WSP Canada Inc.

Conventionally, divers are to evaluate the state of deterioration and the performance of submerged infrastructure. Although this method is still essential today in order to ensure a clear understanding of the underlying conditions, the development of acoustic and laser technologies able to cover large surfaces in little time is of some interest for structure owners, particularly with respect to the financial savings and the reduction of operational risks associated with diving. The question now is whether it is possible to completely replace diving operations by others managed solely on land. This possibility, although interesting, raises a certain number of constraints and uncertainties from a technical point of view.

During inspections, a methodology using the benefits of both methods is possible. When well planned, the combination of technology and conventional methods not only saves on costs but also to makes it possible to identify many situations that are difficult to observe without diving. This presentation is intended as an assessment of the author’s experience with such a method in the context of the inspection of lock gate approach walls in the Saint Lawrence Seaway.

The Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment Manual Developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers: A Comprehensive Guideline to Managing Marine Asset Inspection, Monitoring, Repair and Rehabilitation Across Large Portfolios of Marine AssetsAndrew Cairns, Lori Baer, Bert Sanford, David WilsonAECOM

Many port authorities, government agencies, and commercial firms operate large portfolios of marine assets and are challenged with the task of maintaining these assets in a state of good repair. A key tool to optimize the inspection process and to assure the efficient translation of inspection data to necessary repairs and rehabilitation is application of the Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment Manual of practice, newly published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Developed with the input of industry and U.S. Federal Agencies Managing Marine Assets, The Waterfront Facilities Inspection and Assessment Manual supplies engineers with guidelines and tools for inspecting and evaluating the condition of waterfront structures located in seawater and freshwater environments and is a valuable, comprehensive resource for owners, operators, and engineers involved in operating, maintaining, inspecting, and repairing waterfront structures.

This presentation will provide an overview of the manual, its application on waterfront facilities and the development of an effective Marine Asset Management Program.

Montreal Port Authority Roadway Inspection SystemJacques Daigneault, Montreal Port Authority

A pilot project pertaining to the inspection of port terminal roadways was conducted to explore the applicability of roadway auscultation investigation techniques in areas that cover large surfaces and which are used for various purposes. The main objectives are to establish an inventory of condition data and to implement a management concept for the interventions that are necessary to maintain surface conditions at a set level, with an optimized life cycle. The sector under review is made up of a portion of the Racine Terminal, which covers an area of 140,000 square meters, and the road from the port which is 8.5 kilometers in length. The survey was completed through the use of an auscultation vehicle (multipurpose truck) equipped with various measuring devices to calculate the longitudinal profile, deformations, and degree of rutting and cracking. The data collected in the road condition survey were subject to specific analyses to establish an inventory of existing surface degradations, which were then referenced on the basis of a cartographic map. A compilation of the available information was conducted to determine the surface condition of the various areas that were subject to the auscultation investigation and to put forward intervention components which would lead to the development of a targeted maintenance and reconstruction program.

Development of Integrated Remedial and Navigational Dredging Project for Howard’s Bay, Superior, Wisconsin Michael J. Erickson, ARCADIS

Remediation of sediments within Howard’s Bay in Superior, Wisconsin is a priority within the St. Louis River area of concern. The area is home to the largest shipping port by volume in the Great Lakes. Maintenance dredging is needed in the federal channel running the length of the bay and other sediments require remediation to achieve sediment quality targets. Constituents of concern include PAHs, organotin, lead, and mercury. A multi-agency joint planning of sediment clean-up and navigation dredging needs is underway to incorporate funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and shared funding by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and industrial/municipal partners, with the objective of constructing a single integrated dredging project to achieve cost and schedule efficiencies while achieving both clean-up and navigational dredging objectives in the harbour.

The project development approach and lessons learned will be shared.

Port of Quebec - Stabilisation of Wharves 105 and 106 Éric Martineau, Quebec Port Authority

In recent years, a new terminal used for the trans-shipment of wood pellets was built on land located behind wharves 105 and 106 located in the l’Anse-au-Foulon sector of the Port of Quebec, and remediation work had to be carried out on the existing infrastructures affected by the implementation of this project. Part of the work included the stabilization of wharves 105 and 106, which are used to dock vessels in the terminal.

Wharves 105 and 106 were built at the turn of the 1930’s. They consist of a basic wood corbel (crib) structure encircled at the upper level by a concrete cope wall. This type of wharf is characterized by a gradual deformation caused by deterioration. To secure the infrastructure in place so that it might still be used in the Terminal’s operations, the QPA chose to perform stabilization work on the wharves by anchoring them into the roc. This work needed to be performed while the wharves remained operational.

Coastal Environment Study for the Preliminary Runway Design of the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Nicolas Guillemette, Chris Glodowski, Pierre Dupuis, Steve Renaud, Mathieu RoyWSP Canada

As owners of the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, Ports Toronto is investigating proposed west and east extensions to the existing Runway 08-26. The west end of the new runway would extend some 200 m into Lake Ontario in much deeper water than the current structure. WSP Canada has undertaken a feasibility study for the design of rock armoured breakwater structures to protect the expanded land mass. This design effort includes assessment of the coastal conditions at the site and physical modelling of the breakwaters in the facilities of the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa.

This presentation focuses on the hydraulic model test program that was conducted in the Multi-Directional Wave Basin at the NRC-Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering, Ottawa. The test program was designed by WSP Canada in collaboration with NRC personnel. The main objective was to develop physically stable cross-sections around the new land mass that control the effects of wave overtopping on the runway surfaces, such that airport operations would not be disrupted. Additional considerations included: maintaining a low crest height so that the structures would not interfere with obstacles limitations for the aircraft operations; and using available rock materials to facilitate construction.

Issues Associated with the Redefinition of a Coastal Protection Work in Mont-Louis, Quebec Alain Drouin, Public Works and Government Services Canada

Constructed around 1955, Transport Canada’s Mont-Louis port facility is made up of a 325 m approach leading to a 123 m deep-water wharf. As the wave climate in the area is very severe, the facility helped protect the bank against erosion and contributed to a progressive increase in the beach size. The facility was decommissioned in 1994 and the structures are now in an advanced state of deterioration.

Transport Canada has mandated Public Works and Government Services Canada to develop and conduct a comparative analysis of four options of potential interest to address the following key objectives:

• Ensure the structure does not present an undue risk to the public or navigation;• Eliminate or at least minimize the environmental liability;• Eliminate the risk of dispersion of contaminated materials and sediments into

the environment; and,• Maintain a level of bank protection equivalent to that provided by the structure

in its initial state.

The methodology and key results of the numerical and scale-model studies conducted for this project will be presented.

High Resolution Forecasting Services for Reducing Ship Motion Risk Douglas Scott1 and Wayne Boulton2

1Baird & Associates2RWDI

Ship terminals are increasingly being developed in exposed locations that are subject to significant wind and wave effects, resulting in downtime and risk of excessive vessel motions at berth. Port simulation tools are frequently employed to optimize port infrastructure and operations; however, these models generally employ simplistic representations of climatic data. With recent advances in numerical modelling technology, it is now feasible to fully integrate detailed climatic data into port simulation models in order to develop an improved understanding of the influence of the climate on port operations and decision-making.

Remediation of Contaminated Sediments at the Port of Gaspé - Sandy Beach Patrick Turgeon1, Bruno Vallé1, Marc Desrosier2, Khaled Manai21Englobe Corp.2Public Works and Government Services Canada

Over the past 20 years, a number of studies have been conducted to delineate the issues related to the seabed at the Port of Gaspé (Sandy Beach) site, where two main contaminants have been found: PAHs and Cu. Given the scope of the problem and the remediation costs associated with remediation based on generic criteria, it became necessary to carry out an ecotoxicological study with an integrated effects threshold (IET). The IET was used to determine a level of remediation that would be acceptable from both an environmental and a financial perspective.

The presentation will describe the selected conceptual design; the different implementation stages, including the logistics of work; construction techniques; the selected technologies; operational and legal restrictions; the environmental constraints; the monitoring program; quality management; contingency management; etc.

Reclamation of Contaminated Soil Following Treatment Through Stabilization and Solidification Jean-Philippe Boudreault, École de technologie supérieure

Stabilization-solidification (S/S) is a process which has been used for several years in the remediation of contaminated sites in North America. This treatment process is based on two primary mechanisms: a chemical stabilization of soil contaminants to reduce their solubility and the encapsulation of the contaminated soil within a monolithic matrix. Unlike the disposal of contaminated soil in landfills, the S/S process qualifies as a sustainable development and management practice in that it allows for safe reuse and recycling of contaminated soil directly on the site while minimizing the environmental footprint relating to site remediation.

This presentation will provide an overview of the S/S treatment process for contaminated soils, discuss examples of S/S application in Quebec, and showcase it’s use in the redevelopment of the Viau Sector of the Port of Montreal.

Geotube Direct Applicability of the Treatment Process Through the Stabilisation and Solidification of Hydraulic Dredging SludgeValeri Mambilo Ondo1, Jean-Sébastien Dubé1, Jean-Philippe Boudreault21École de technologie supérieure2Pangeos inc.

Dredged sediment is often seen as “waste” to be managed since it sometimes presents contamination, undesirable geotechnical characteristics, or both. However, treatment through stabilisation and solidification (S/S) allows for sustainable development and management of this dredged sediment by the fact that it allows for the safe reuse and reclamation of different types of contaminated materials (soil, sediment, dredged slurry) directly onsite and the geotechnical strengthening of these materials.

This presentation will outline a proposed project to demonstrate the technology used to recover contaminated hydraulic dredging sludge from the St. Lawrence River. The proposed solution involves the application of an innovative direct treatment process for the S/S of liquid sludge in geotubes. The use of geotubes in the process serves as a filter to allow passive sludge dewatering while controlling the level of suspended solids discharged into the waterway. This method of combining passive dewatering and S/S in a single step reduces the costs of drying, processing and geotechnical improvement while limiting the release of contaminants into the environment.
