Exceeding Standards, Enabling Growth
Cities and towns need sufficient basic infrastructure to grow sustainably. Our work on the twin forcemain extension of James Street in Kingston, Ontario, was a key part of sewage treatment upgrades required by the city to accommodate future growth.
Carried out over two years, the project required boring a 185-metre-long rock tunnel with a diameter of 1.8 metres. We deployed 1,100 metres of 1,050-millimetre forcemain pipe and installed large, poured-in-place valve chambers. As with many of our projects, our infrastructure wastewater management works on James Street met or exceeded Ontario government standards.
The Kingston Forcemain Extension project included
〉 Installation of concrete pressure forcemain pipe
〉 Strict regulatory compliance
〉 Rock drilling and blasting
