SUPERIOR, WI — Stantec, a sustainable design and engineering company, announces the substantial completion of the C. Reiss Company’s Superior Dock project on Lake Superior, allowing the C. Reiss Company to relocate its shipping operations from Duluth, Minnesota, to Superior, Wisconsin.
The Superior dock site had been unused for 30 years and had to undergo major rehabilitation and site improvements.
Site improvements included a new rail spur, dock wall, maintenance building and office trailer, rail and truck scales, access road, security fencing, paved salt-storage pad, and stormwater management pond.
“We’re thrilled to provide C. Reiss with a completely rehabilitated dock terminal that will serve its western Lake Superior operations,” Stantec Project Manager Brian Lennie said. “Starting with our initial natural resources assessments, through permitting, and then final construction, our Midwest team exemplified our commitment to rehabilitating this critical infrastructure for C. Reiss.”
To help fund the overall five-year project, Stantec and C. Reiss worked together to secure grant awards from the federal Port Infrastructure Development Program, the state Harbor Assistance Program, and partnerships with the EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The project received more than $12 million in cost share and grant monies for the $22 million project.
