Background
The Buff Bay Valley Retaining Wall Project commenced in May 2009. This project was developed to address several major breakaways affecting a section of roadway in the Buff Bay Valley of western Portland, 20 kilometres in length. Thirteen of these breakaways had become worse during the passage of Tropical Storm Gustav in 2008.
Contract and Scope of Works
A contract in the sum of J$300 million was awarded to Surrey Paving and Aggregates Limited. The works included construction of retaining walls, 12,000M2 of asphaltic concrete works along sections of the affected roadway and re-construction of kerbs and other drainage structures.
The details are outlined below.
