Howards Cove Wharf Upgrades

The marginal wharf #402 at Howards Cove Small Craft Harbour (SCH) is a Berlin Wall (concrete panel and steel H-pile) structure that has been partially re-constructed in phases over the past several years. The final phase of this reconstruction includes the
installation of a 25 meter section of Berlin Wall with a new concrete cap, located in the northwest corner of the wharf. The new Berlin Wall will be installed in front of the existing Berlin Wall structure. Steel H-piles will be driven directly in front of the existing wharf to secure the new concrete panels in place. Any void space between the new panels and existing panels will be filled with concrete. Minimal excavation of accumulated marine deposit will be required to "toe-in" the base of the new panels. The excavated material, anticipated to be less than 25m3, will be disposed of at a provincially approved facility. Steel H-piles will be driven into place to proper grade by a crane working from the existing wharf. The concrete panels will then be slid into place. Upon installation of the concrete panels, any void space will be filled with concrete and the panels will be topped with a continuous concrete cap, which will be poured in place. The final wharf components (ladders, wheel guard, etc.) will be installed after the concrete cap has cured.
