📋 Tender Overview
Project :ENG-001-13
Project Description : Steel retaining walls and earth dykes have been constructed along the Little River between Riverside Drive and the VIA Rail tracks beginning in 1983 to provide flood protection to the immediate neighbourhoods of the area which have high risk of overland flooding. This offers vital flood protection for over 2000 homes and the Little River Pollution Control Plant. A condition survey and structural evaluation of the 2.5km system of Little River Steel Retaining Walls was completed in 2012. It was determined that the existing shorewall is stable and generally in good condition, however the system requires rehabilitation in order to extend service life beyond 2031. Repairs to the retaining walls may be phased over a number of years and funding for future replacement must be considered. In addition, it has been observed that the dykes have been breached at several residences along the Little River. Reinstatement of those breaches and restoration of the original dyke elevations is required to return to intended levels of protection. After consultation with area residents, this project is now proceeding
