Major milestone for the Esquimalt Harbour project December 22, 2020, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
After months of hard work, the $162.5 million-Esquimalt Harbour Remediation Project has reached a major milestone with the completion of remediation at the Y-Jetty & Lang Cove site, reports Fraser River Pile and Dredge (FRPD).
Beginning in January 2019, the Y-Jetty & Lang Cove Remediation Project focused on addressing contamination that had accumulated in the harbour seabed after almost 200 years of commercial, military and industrial use.
According to FRPD, during the remediation of the Y-Jetty & Lang Cove site, over 48,500 cubic metres of sediment was dredged from the seabed. The sediment that was removed contained an estimated 14,341 tonnes of contaminants (including aluminum, copper, iron, lead and mercury).
