Sechelt Waterfront Ship Loading Facility This installation of four custom buoys was designed and installed for Construction Aggregate’s new Deep Sea Loading Facility in Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada. The sequence of Photos shows stages of the project. These buoys are ballasted with 22300 lbs. of concrete each. They are used to tie up 70,000 ton self-unloading gravel freighters. Originally these steel tanks were used as bentonite tanks on a supply ship. |
