The Gloucester Street Watermain Rehabilitation won a Canadian Consulting Engineering 2000 Award of Merit. It was also chosen for presentation at the NASTT No-Dig 2000 Conference in Anaheim. This project was done jointly with Robinson Consultants Inc. of Kanata, Ontario. The City of Ottawa estimates that replacing the aging cast iron watermain (which had suffered a catastrophic break several years earlier) would have taken 12-18 months of open cut construction in the downtown core. The trenchless renewal (150 psi stand alone test rated) took less than 4 months. |
