Town of Conception Bay South

Published purpose

This project entails upgrades to the Long Pond Breakwater that separates Conception Bay from Long Pond - the home of the Inner Harbour, Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club, Long Pond Harbour Authority, Community Park, and downtown business district, as well as private properties. Breakwater upgrades included in this project have been designed to withstand a 100-year storm with sea level rise considerations by the year 2100. The breakwater has been divided into segments, to ensure each segment is best constructed to withstand the unique wave action and offshore conditions observed in the Coastal Engineering Assessment which took place during 2022. Considerations were also made to ensure the asset can tolerate, and projected conditions for the next 75 years.
