Metro Vancouver's Second Narrows Water Supply Tunnel project, which aims to create a more earthquake-resistant water supply system, has won the Canadian Project of the Year Under $300 Million Award from the Tunnelling Association of Canada.
An ongoing Metro Vancouver water supply tunnel project crossing the borders between Burnaby and the District of North Vancouver has won an award from the Tunnelling Association of Canada.
“I’m so proud that this major drinking-water infrastructure project, which will help us keep delivering water even after earthquakes, is being celebrated,” said Metro Vancouver board of directors chairman Mike Hurley in a press release. This project is just one of the regional water supply tunnels that are being designed to ensure reliable drinking water in the region in the event of a major earthquake, the press release said.
Construction began in 2019 and is expected to be mostly complete by the end of this year, the press release said. The three new water mains will be tied into the drinking water system over the next few winters and expected to be in service by 2028.
