Project Description

Large-scale dredging of waters near CFB Esquimalt. Material was suspected to contain possible munitions as well as First Nations archaeology. GRT was contracted to run the dredge material through our Resource Regeneration Facility with the purpose of identifying and retrieving archeologically sensitive material as well as any UXOs.

GRT received a high volume of material over a short period of time and processed it quickly and efficiently, enabling the successful retrieval of ### items of significance, which were turned over to the supervising archeological & UXO teams.

“GRT handled our material in a safe, timely and professional manner. Thanks to their process we were able to return many valuable artifacts to the Esquimalt & Songhees Nations…”
