6. Infrastructure Assessment
 What is the big picture?
 Membership asked to know the big picture
 The Board asked to know the big picture
 Initial plan to assess the areas affected by the
Harbour Project was extended to be a complete
review of all underwater structures

7. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Purpose
 Determine the current condition of everything
 Determine the remediation options for problem areas
 Determine what needs to be done with or before the
Harbour Project, in particular the center pier

8. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
Assessment divided into “Reaches”:
 A : West and south side of breakwater [165m]
 B : Inside of breakwater top the SW corner of Club [123m]
 C : South side of clubhouse (old sheet pile wall) [29m]
 D : Center Pier to SE corner of clubhouse [59m]
 E : SE corner to NW corner of clubhouse [31m]
 F : West and north wall of Shark basin [55m]
 G : Marine railway
 H : From marine railway to end of property, including gas
dock

9. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)

10. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Which aspects relate to Harbour Redevelopment?
 East End of Breakwater (portions of Reach A & B)
 Center Pier (Reach D)

11. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Current Conditions
 East End of Breakwater (portions of Reach A & B)
 Perforation of the steel plate where the T-dock is
mounted
 Collapsing Gabion baskets on the lee side
 Insufficient/erroded stone protection on the South
side
 Center Pier (Reach D)
 Collapsing cribs
 Loss of stone fill
 Concrete cap no longer properly supported in places

12. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Remediation Options
 East End of Breakwater (portions of Reach A & B)
 40m of the east end of Reach A with new armour stone
 Stacked armour stone or Sheet pile for current T-dock
location
 15m of collapsing gabion baskets replaced with sheet
pile or a stack armour stone wall
 Center Pier
 Reach D

13. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Design Examples
• Armour stone – Reach A

14. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Design Examples (End of Breakwater)
• Sheet pile
• Stacked armour stone
Stacked
Armour Stone
Sheet Pile

15. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Design Examples (Reach D – Centre Pier)
Sheet Pile
Floating Dock

16. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 Other Areas of concern
 South side of breakwater
 Insufficient/erroded stone protection on the south side
 North side of breakwater
 Collapsing gabion baskets on the lee side, east end
 Concrete barrier re-enforcement of gabion baskets needs
attention in the future
 Clubhouse perimeter
 Poor shape all around
 West wall of Shark basin
 good shape
 North Wall from Shark basin to gas dock
 Poor condition, unknown lifespan

17. Infrastructure Assessment (cont.)
 What will is Cost?
 Recommended work to be done with the Harbour
Project:
 ~$500K
 Future Remediation:
 additional $1Mto $1.5M
 Timeline for work not yet known (0- 15 year?)
 Must plan for this work
 How do we pay for it?

18. Long Term Planning
 Harbour Redevelopment Project
 Self sustaining still a requirement
 Cannot be burdened with costs associated with
rebuilding infrastructure
 Will improve our ability manage future expenditures
through enlarged membership base
 Financial Plan
 Board is developing 5-year financial plan
 Infrastructure Assessment identifies issues that need
to be addressed over the next 0-15? years

19. Long Term Planning
 Continue to move ahead with Harbour Project
 Board & Strategic Planning Committee will be working
together to develop financial models and funding
options
 Town Hall information meeting in the new year to
