Work Description

The goal of this project is to improve site safety at the Fulton River Dam by replacing the existing stairway access to the dam regulating building (also called control room). The project scope includes the creation of a new stair system from the top of the bank to the top of the reservoir regulating building and includes the removal and disposal of the existing staircase structure.

The new stairs will be constructed mostly ?in-place? at the location of the existing stairway and will be made of steel and timber. The footings, base slabs and their connections to the rock base will be significantly upgraded. Several of the existing rock anchoring locations could be changed to better locations.

Safety will be paramount to the contractor planning, preparing and executing this work. The contractor will be considered as ?prime contractor? and be responsible for ensuring the highest safety standards are achieved during the work. This project will be separated into three (3) tasks:

Task 1 - Initial Site Visit with the Departmental Representative including contractor’s site and safety assessment as well as recommendations for rock anchoring locations

Task 2 -shop drawings preparation and approval by DFO prior to fabrication. Each sheet shall be sealed and signed by a Professional Engineer registered in the Province of British Columbia, who will be the Specialty Structural Engineer responsible for the integrity of his/her design.

Task 3 - Fabrication and Installation of Rock Fall Protection System
