Construction of a new Buoy Maintenance Building at the Victoria Coast Guard Base.  This steel frame building accommodates specialized buoy maintenance equipment used to sandblast, repair and paint buoys and other navigational equipment used by the Canadian Coast Guard. Foundation construction required the use of a “Dynamic Compaction” process to the building footprint to prepare the otherwise unsuitable site to accommodate the proposed building.  Significant precautions were taken so that the large repetitive compaction forces did not damage the adjacent structures on the base.  The buoy maintenance equipment is relatively unique and was custom designed for this building.  Significant coordination was required with the equipment supplier to ensure the building could accommodate the equipment and the layout was functional.
