Launch Ramp Replacement, Matheson Island, Manitoba

Fisheries and Oceans Canada - Small Craft Harbours are responsible for maintaining a safe and accessible harbours. Repairs to the launch ramp at the Matheson Island Harbour are required in order to maintain a safe and functioning harbour.

Fisheries and Ocean Canada - Small Craft Harbours are proposing to remove and replace the existing concrete launch ramp with a new concrete launch ramp at the Matheson Island Harbour site. The existing structure is deteriorating and damaged. The new ramp will include a base rock apron, and new concrete pads which will extend slightly further into the water and upland from the existing footprint.  The project will involve upland and in-water work.

The contractor will use a combination of heavy equipment (likely an excavator, dump trucks and skid steer) to complete the proposed work.
