Project Overview
This large-scale infrastructure project involved the construction of a 36-inch diameter potable water transmission main connecting the State Highway 3 Booster Pump Station and the South Shore Harbour Booster Pump Station. The new main strengthens system reliability, supports future growth, and enhances water service across the region by providing a critical interconnection between two major supply sources.
Scope & Key Components
The work encompassed a full range of civil and pipeline construction disciplines, including:
- Site preparation with erosion and sedimentation controls.
- Earthwork operations — trenching, backfill, and compaction for a stable foundation.
- Pipeline construction, including pipe, valves, structures, restraints, and appurtenances.
- Trenchless crossings via boring, jacking, and steel casing installation.
- Fence and gate installations at access points for site security.
- Traffic control in urban and roadway-adjacent areas.
- Revegetation and restoration to return disturbed areas to pre-construction condition.
The alignment extended approximately 17,700 linear feet, incorporating horizontal directional drilling (HDD), open-cut, and cased crossings to navigate existing infrastructure and environmentally sensitive areas.
Challenges & Execution Approach
Constructing a major waterline through dense, developed corridors required precision, adaptability, and coordination with multiple stakeholders. Reytec’s team implemented phased construction schedules, advanced traffic control plans, and continuous communication with municipal and utility partners to mitigate disruption and maintain public safety.
Trenchless techniques were deployed strategically to cross under Clear Creek and major roadways, demonstrating Reytec’s technical proficiency in high-risk environments. Rigorous testing, disinfection, and flushing procedures ensured that all new systems met the strictest potable water quality standards before final turnover.
Impact & Benefits
Upon completion, the project provides a third crossing of Clear Creek, significantly improving redundancy and reliability in the regional water system. The new transmission main enhances operational flexibility, allowing for improved service delivery and maintenance efficiency while supporting long-term population and infrastructure growth.
Demonstrating Reytec’s Expertise
