The proposed project

The upland owner of the property located at 2820 Panorama Drive is proposing to install a new private residential dock in Deep Cove, North Vancouver. The Project consists of the installation of a prefabricated dock including an aluminum gangway and ramp and a rectangular float in the water. The gangway would sit on a concrete sill on the upland and supported by four steel piles on the foreshore and the float would be held in place in the water by two steel piles.

The six piles would be installed using a vibratory hammer on a floating barge. The gangway, ramp and mooring float will be constructed off site at an upland location, transported to the site by water and installed using a crane/davit on a floating barge/vessel. Depending on engineering requirements and site conditions, pile installation equipment may include: vibratory hammer, drop hammer, power hammer, rocket socket for drilling and cleaning machinery. The concrete sill would be constructed using hand-operated equipment

Construction would be conducted from land and water and is anticipated to be conducted during regular work hours, over a duration of approximately 4 months.
