Oakes Park Trunk Sewer Relining & Maintenance Hole rehabilitiation - Town of Fort Erie

completed

Closed

The following are the main components of the project; • 1,265 meters of intercept sewer lining. The sewer diameter size 825mm diameter and crosses under one (1) artillery roadway and two (2) Town Parks • Rehabilitation of 19 maintenance holes The Oakes Park trunk sewer in the Town of Fort Erie carries all sanitary sewage from the communities of Crystal Beach and Ridgeway. This represents a population of over 7,100 plus industrial, commercial and institutional sewage generators. This trunk sewer has been in service since 1973 and now has extensive corrosion damage from hydrogen sulphide attack and must be relined/rehabilitated. The corrosion is extensive and immediate action is required to ensure system reliability. Innovative "Trenchless Technology" will be used to minimize disruption to the neighborhood including users of Oakes and Sugarbowl parks. This rehabilitation methodology (insertion of a glass reinforced plastic pipe liner) is typically lower in cost and is not only resistant to corrosion from hydrogen sulphide attack but will extend the sewers life by over 50 years. In addition it has the added benefit of a smaller carbon foot print when compared to traditional open-cut digging methods.
