   Material preparation	3 days		
      Apply required treatments, coatings to material if it has not been done so already	3 days	takes 1-20 hours to pressure treat timber. Assume 2 days to transport	Dunn Lumber
   Site mobilisation	4 days		
      Demolition, excavation, removing unsuitable fill for breakwater and marginal wharf	2 days	piles driven so no need to excavate for wharf. Material will need to be excavated for back fill. assuming mid sized excavator  moving 20 to 30 cubic meters per hour under due to poor soil conditions. 8 hour working day. factor in additional time for setup, breaks, any unforeseen delays, and cleanup	soderlhom marine services
      Installing environmental protection procedures such as silt fencing and spill prevention	2 days	4-6 workers can install 800-2000 ft silt fencing a day, 8 hour working day.  4-6 workes could install 500-1000 ft silt curtains in an 8 hour working day	soderlhom marine services
Breakwater	98 days		
   Dredge and level seabed	10 days	Rate of 2000m3 / day. 19250m3 of material . Material is soft. Equipment is cranes and excavators	group ocean
   Transport material to site	1 day	Material will already be nearby . Would take one working day depending on which layer is being worked on. ASSUME WILL BE CONCURRENT WITH LAYER PLACEMENT AS LAYER WILL BE PLACED SAME DAY MATERIAL IS MOVED TO SITE	
   Layer placement	87 days		
      Material for Core layer dumped and compacted	12 days	assuming 450m3 a day, 8 hour working day, experienced crew,moderately equipped 5 days a week	Pacific marine construction
      Material for filter layer is placed	8 days	assuming 300m3 a day, 8 hour working day, experienced crew,moderately equipped, 5 days a week	Pacific marine construction
      Material for armour layer and toe is placed	67 days	stones placed more precisely, longer time required. Assuming we have 2 cranes and it is a moderately equipped project so rate of 200m3/day, 8 hour working day, 5 days a week	Pacific marine construction
      Inspection of breakwater rock placement	87 days	Will occur throughout construction phase. Expected to be done daily	
Marginal Wharf	82 days		
   Revetment	27 days	construction times for different layers will start at the same time as breakwater	Pacific marine construction
      Place core layer	4 days	to start at same time as breakwater core layer as they have the same material	Pacific marine construction
      Place filter layer	4 days	to start at same time as breakwater filter layer as they have the same material	Pacific marine construction
      Place armour layer	7 days	to start at same time as breakwater armour layer as they have the same material	Pacific marine construction
   Drive Piles	6 days	8 hrs/pile. 54 piles. 8 hour working days. Crew can drive around 10 piles a day	Pacific marine construction
   Pile caps and deck	49 days		
      Setting up Formwork	8 days	usually takes 5 to 7 days. Leaving an extra day for inspection and changes that need to be made	
      Rebar installation	10 days	skilled team can place and tie 1 to 1.5 tons of rebar a day based on industry standards. 8 hour working shifts with medium sized crew.
