“I would argue this hasn’t been a success,” Golding said of the 900 feet of geotube currently in place. “It was admitted that only six cubic yards of sand per square foot of bluff were available during a nor’easter. We don’t have satisfactory information on its effect on fauna, and I would be more comfortable with continuing with only the geotube we have, to see how they perform going forward.”

Graham Jaehnig/Daily Mining Gazette The under-field drainage system, as designed by Calumet High School graduate and UPA Engineer Ryan Patrick, consists of a flat, perforated pipe encased in a permeable plastic. The pipe is laid atop a geotextile layer, which is then covered with a layer of washed gravel.

The dredge material and quarry-fill material will be used to construct the east reclamation area before work is started to build the two concrete pontoons, gangways, boat ramp and 150m quay wall that will link to it.

Austin: Honestly, like I said, not being taken seriously until I open my mouth and start talking is the only thing I’ve ever really had an issue with. People give you respect. People like to give credit where credit is due, usually, in this industry. People will take you seriously if you take yourself seriously, and people will value you if you value yourself. But I feel it’s definitely harder as a woman.
