Addenbroke Island Telecommunications Tower Install

The Canadian Coast Guard is planning to construct a new radio communications tower at the Addenbroke Island lightstation with the objective of increasing the range of marine communications along the entrance to the inside passage and the B.C. central coast. the entirety of the project will be conducted by CCG work crews and accessed via Helicopter. A barge will be located nearby carrying the required equipment, resources  ant tower components. Helicopter support will be utilised to transport materials (i.e. forming supplies, concrete, tower components etc...) from the barge to the site. Soil disturbance will be required to construct a foundation for the tower, however no tree limbing or falling is required.  the footprint for the project will not exceed 10 square meters and will be within a previously disturbed environment in close proximity to the existing lightstation buildings.
