West Don River Sanitary Infrastructure Protection and Bank Protection along the West Don River near Highway 7 and Centre Street: Geomorphic Study

completed

Bank scouring and channel downcutting are threatening 45m of sanitary main crossing underneath the West Don River. The depth of cover over the sanitary line is 0.3m. A preliminary geomorphic study is required to assess the extent of the problem and develop concept design alternatives for sanitary protection works. This study will provide a better understanding of our local water resources and enable innovative designs to reduce sediment inputs into local waterways, improve habitat and provide infrastructure protection. This project is located between Highway 7 and Highway 407 ETR, south of Centre Street, in the City of Vaughan.
