Pictou Marina and Breakwater Expansion

FY 2024-25 · 2024-09-23

Summary
The Pictou Marina and breakwater, one of the key elements in Pictou’s waterfront, is at risk due to rising tides, and intensifying storms, as outlined by Pictou’s municipal climate change adaptation plan. The Town of Pictou has experienced sea level rise and storm surges that are expected to intensify, with their marina bearing the brunt of the impact. This puts existing infrastructure in the marina, including buildings, wooden structures, sewer, water and storm mains, roads and other paths, as well as businesses and other personal property at risk. The proposed project will ensure the longevity and safe operations of the waterfront by raising the level of structures and building a structurally enhanced wharf along the waterfront, and improve and expand coastal protection through the construction of a new fixed breakwater. The fixed breakwater will replace a seasonal floating breakwater which has reached the end of its useful life

Description (French)
La marina et le brise-lames de Pictou, l'un des éléments clés du secteur riverain de Pictou, sont menacés par la montée des marées et l'intensification des tempêtes, comme le souligne le plan municipal d'adaptation aux changements climatiques de Pictou. La ville de Pictou a connu une élévation du niveau de la mer et des ondes de tempête qui devraient s'intensifier, et sa marina en subit le plus gros impact. Cette situation met en péril l'infrastructure existante de la marina, notamment les bâtiments, les structures en bois, les conduites d'égout, d'eau et d'orage, les routes et autres chemins, ainsi que les entreprises et autres biens personnels. Le projet proposé assurera la longévité et la sécurité des opérations du secteur riverain en élevant le niveau des structures et en construisant un quai à la structure améliorée le long du secteur riverain, et améliorera et étendra la protection côtière par la construction d'un nouveau brise-lames fixe. Le brise-lames fixe remplacera un brise-lames flottant saisonnier qui a atteint la fin de sa vie utile.
