FEATURED PROJECT

Port Lands

As part of Toronto’s Port Lands Flood Protection project, QM completed complex wet and dry excavation, environmental dredging, dockwall demolition and underwater placement of marine geotextile and a subaqueous barrier.

Working from land and a floating barge, the team managed more than 16,000 m³ of excavated material while protecting the surrounding harbour environment.

  • 16,000+ m³ excavated and dredged
  • 65+ metres of dockwall demolished
  • 3,300 m² of underwater barrier installed
