The David Road project on Bowen Island featured the design of a new aluminum passenger ramp connecting to an existing abutment and a counter-weighted dock. Our team used articulating connections into the existing cast-in-place footing, showing our ability to seamlessly integrate new structures with legacy infrastructure. By applying value engineering strategies, we cut material use by 30%. We achieved this with an innovative lattice and node design that maintained structural integrity while optimizing resources.
The project required close collaboration with the local municipality and a structured process to secure engineering approvals efficiently. Our team coordinated directly with local agencies, ensuring the project met all regulatory standards and finished on time. This project highlights our expertise in designing cost-effective, technically sound marine access solutions that respect environmental and community infrastructure needs while incorporating advanced features like the counter-weighted dock system.
