South Dyke Upgrades – No. 7 Road to 970m East
Explanation of Project
Early in 2007, the City of Richmond undertook a major upgrade of its dikes on the South Arm of the Fraser River. Work was funded by the Provincial Government in response to concerns of a higher than usual freshet.
Location
- Along the South Dyke from No. 7 Road to 970m East
Key Innovations
- A customized dyke design which considered and responded to actual site conditions.
- New construction techniques which enabled the retention of existing ecological functionality.
- A “Net-Plus” approach to ecological health adopted (rather than just impact mitigation) and works were designed to result in an overall net improvement both from a flood management and ecological basis
General Considerations
- The City undertook an integrated approach to the project and developed a project to meet both the flood management and natural habitat requirements of the site.
- An interdisciplinary planning team with engineering design, dike construction and ecological expertise was assembled. As a result, rather than incorporating the conventional straight-line dike, a new approach was adopted where the structural works for this project were designed to vary and moved inland to avoid existing functional riparian and inter-tidal areas.
- The Project also incorporates foreshore planting to offset impacts for stretches of the dike which were constructed immediately adjacent to the shoreline.
