The proposed project

The proposed project is for an installation of a new recreational dock at 317 Sasamat Lane in North Vancouver 

The proposed dock includes the following features: 

  • Approximately 0.7 metre concrete column with a 1.2 square metre landing on bedrock (upland) that would connect to the aluminum access ramp 
  • Approximately 15 metre long by 1.2 metre wide aluminum access ramp (between landing and float) with wheels that would ride in guides on the float. 
  • Approximately 30 square metre moorage float (dock) on the water supported in place by concrete mooring blocks and galvanized chain. 

The welded aluminum access ramp would be attached to the landing by crane and connect to the float in the water. The moorage float is comprised of a timber substructure and its decking is made of composite materials. The moorage float would be fabricated offsite and delivered by barge. No pile driving is required for the project. 

Should the Project Permit be approved, construction would begin shortly thereafter and take approximately 10 days to complete.
