Institute of Ocean Sciences - Container Storage Facility

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is proposing to establish a compound to store and sort Canadian Coast Guard marine equipment and machinery. The area will also provide short and long term storage for marine safety and spill response equipment. The proposed storage area will have the dimensions of 50 m by 100 m, be graveled in with perimeter fencing, and a new access road. The new access road will have a culvert to accommodate the existing ditch that runs parallel along side West Saanich Road.

 

The work involves taking off 30 cm of top soil and stock piling it on the side of the gravel storage site. It will then be backfilled with a gravel to suit the needs of the stored items. Machinery used for this work will include hauling trucks to bring the gravel to site, a small dozer to move the topsoil and distribute the gravel, and possibly a small excavator to help with stock piling and leveling the soils and gravels.
