17. Dredged material placement area
A new inner levee was built at the Dredged Material Placement Area in Pelican Island
This levee replaces part of the original East wall levee which was in advanced deteriorated conditions and was prone to failure.
This repair allows the placement of 200,000 CY of dredged material in one cycle eliminating the risk of a slope failure and its consequences.

Current work is a conceptual analysis of options to improve circulation. Two options were developed for a ramp at the SMPG and five for the CT1 building.
The ramp options at the CT1 building include one inside and four outside of it.

23. Walkway to ct1 improvements
Two options were considered for circulation inside CT1 to segregate passengers from the public and prevent the latter from entering into the passengers only areas.
A column at the SMPG end of the walkway will be replaced by a new one due to advanced corrosion.
