Armour Stone Supply

The contract entails the supply of 4,500 tonnes of high-quality, durable armour stone to be used for the reinstallation of a breakwater, with strict requirements governing gradation and durability to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance in marine environments. The material must meet precise engineering standards to withstand wave action and environmental stresses typical of coastal infrastructure projects. The tender is issued as a subcontract under the Government of Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans and is tied to a specific location in Pictou, Nova Scotia, where the armour stone will be installed. Responses are due by August 12, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 28, 2026, providing a two-week window for potential suppliers to prepare and submit bids. The North American Industry Classification System code 328110 identifies this as a quarrying and stone processing activity, aligning the work with standard industry practices for natural stone extraction and conditioning. The project is part of federal infrastructure efforts to maintain coastal defenses and support marine ecosystem stability, requiring suppliers to demonstrate capability in delivering large-volume, specification-compliant rock materials under strict logistical and quality control parameters.
