- Replacement, upsizing, and new construction of 2.4 km of 250-600 mm diameter sanitary sewer at eleven built-up, urbanized locations
- Installation of sewer by jack and bore on Queen Street North
- New construction of 120 m of 50-150 mm diameter watermain on John Street
- Maintenance of effective routes for local and commuter traffic
- Maintenance of access and services to local residences and businesses during construction
- Approvals from Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), Ministry of the Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP), and coordination with Metrolinx and Brampton Transit
- Preservation and protection of mature vegetation
CFA completed the preliminary and detailed design, contract administration, and site inspection for sanitary sewer improvements on various streets at eleven locations within Peel Region and for the installation of a new watermain on one street. The project consisted of replacement/upsizing and new construction of approximately 2,400 m of sanitary sewer ranging from 250 mm to 450 mm in diameter, and 116 m of watermain ranging from 50 mm to 150 mm in diameter, with a construction value of approximately $6 million. The replacement and upsizing of the existing sewers and construction of the new sanitary sewers and watermains were part of the Region’s municipal-services state-of-good-repair program. The objective of the project was to replace the aging infrastructure and allow partial or full-flow diversion to optimize flows within the system. The eleven locations were:
•Cornwall Road, Dartford Road, Doncaster Drive, East Drive, John Street, Lawrence Crescent, Nanwood Drive, Railroad Street, Tullamore Road, and Crescent Hill Drive in Brampton
•Queen Street South and Regional Road 50 in Caledon
Sanitary and water service connections were replaced up to the property line and existing maintenance holes as identified were either replaced or rehabilitated.
Temporary diversions and by-pass pumping of the sewage in the locations where replacement was required allowed the new sewer to be constructed in the same alignments as the existing.
Some of the challenges encountered in the project included:
- High volumes of traffic on select roads
- Deep installation on Queen Street North to clear existing culvert
- John Street highly congested with utilities making it difficult to fit a new watermain
- High ground water table at select locations
- Maintaining access and service to properties during construction
