Canso Canal - Northwest Roundhead Wall and Northeast Canal/Entrance Wall Repairs

The proposed project includes repairs to the existing deteriorated concrete face on the Northwest Roundhead Wall and the Northeast Canal/Entrance Walls.  On the Northwest Roundhead Wall there is a recurring hole at a previous repair near a cold joint on the exposed northern face of the roundhead in the tidal zone.  Settlement of the deck indicates possible water infiltration during storm events. The project on the Northwest Roundhead Wall involves the removal of compromised concrete sections by hand via divers and repair the façade with reinforced concrete.  On the Northeast Canal/Entrance Walls, the project involves the removal of compromised concrete by hand via divers, placement of forms and tremie pour concrete plugs in front of the old existing plugs.
