Canada's construction news
NIAGARA REGION - Pictured is the installation of a 40-millimetre-diameter watermain that is part of a major infrastructure project in Niagara Region.
Using an approximately 10-member labour force and a fleet of machines including medium-to-large excavators, loaders and dozers for haulage, pickup trucks, vacuum trucks and bobcats, the contractor excavated the road sequentially in sections. But the construction crews aren’t going very far and the $18-million joint Niagara Region/Town of Lincoln project is a long way from finished.By the middle of September Alfred Beam is scheduled to begin the open cut installation of a 600- to 700-millimetre-diameter PVC sanitary sewer pipe along the same 1.7 kilometres, although on the opposite side of the road from the watermain, says Jones.
But the scope of that initial project took on a wider dimension through a sharing agreement with the Town of Lincoln to replace and upsize the existing 1970s sewermain along the same stretch. Consisting of approximately 1.7 kilometres of PVC sanitary sewer pipe, new maintenance holes, and service laterals, the sewer is needed to meet the area’s future growth demands, says Jones.
