The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing a project. The project at Building K4 involves upgrading the existing gravel parking lot through the reconstruction of the pavement structure, replacement of the underlying waterline, and installation of proper drainage infrastructure to manage stormwater. The design phase will include geotechnical investigations and soil testing to assess subsurface conditions, along with the development of a soil management plan to ensure environmentally responsible handling of excavated materials.
