Consultation has concluded


Background 

The existing sanitary sewer main along Arthur Drive and Elliott Street was installed in 1963 and is at the end of its service life. A new sewer main has been designed for a 75-year service life and is sized to accommodate future growth in Ladner Village.

About the Project 

The City of Delta awarded a contract to Hexcel Construction Ltd. for the construction of a new sanitary sewer gravity main and force main. Hexcel Construction will be installing a new 375mm diameter PVC sanitary sewer to replace the existing 1963 sewer.

Construction will commence at the south end of the project area, through the parking lot north of Ladner Community Centre. From there, the construction zone will move north along Arthur Drive and Elliott Street and tie-in to existing infrastructure at Bridge Street.

The sanitary sewer will be installed 3-4 metres below ground and will involve dewatering and treatment of groundwater. Below, Figure 1 shows what a dewatering system looks like.

Impact to Residents and Businesses

Access for residents and businesses will be maintained at all times. With work of this nature, some inconvenience will be unavoidable. We ask for your patience and cooperation during construction.

Traffic

Construction will occur in the southbound travel lane of Elliott Street and Arthur Drive. This will be a moving job site, and parking will be restricted along portions of Elliott Street fronting the active construction zone. Single-lane alternating traffic will be implemented along Elliott Street, near the active construction zone.

Archaeology

A section of these works will take place in an archaeological zone. Because of this, archaeologists and representatives from First Nations will be onsite, spot-checking the excavation as construction proceeds.

Noise and Vibration 

Dewatering and water treatment operations for the sanitary sewer are required. These operations will have low-noise operating equipment that will run 24 hours a day during the construction period. The noise impact on the surrounding neighbourhood is expected to be low to moderate. Noise, dust, and vibration are expected due to the nature of this work.
