Terms:
Street Reconstruction
Street reconstruction involves rebuilding the road base, curbs and asphalt surface and may include renewal of underground utilities (sewer and water). Customers will be provided with temporary water servicing during the time that the water utility is under construction until it is chlorinated, tested and put into active service. Disturbed areas will be restored.
Street Resurfacing
In order to acquire the maximum life expectancy from a road structure, resurfacing is often used as an alternative to a full street reconstruction. The top layer of asphalt is removed and new asphalt is laid to create a restored pavement with proper surface drainage. During this process some other structures may be repaired or replaced such as catch basins, manhole covers and curb sections. Disturbed areas will be restored.
Intersection Upgrade
Intersection upgrades can include various design enhancements such as adding lanes, changing alignments and installing traffic lights.
Sidewalk Installation
Each year additional sidewalks are installed to improve pedestrian mobility by increasing connectivity between residential and business, educational and recreational areas.
Wetland Construction
In order to satisfy requirements set out in the Environmental Impact Assessment associated with the construction of the Vaughn Harvey Blvd and Assomption Blvd project, additional wetland will be created between the approach and the Hal Betts Sport Fields. The wetland design will include trails to allow the public to enjoy the waterfowl.
Water Main Renewal/Extension
Water main renewals and extensions require excavations in the road in order to access the mains and water services. Depending on the excavation depth and method, some surface structures may need replacement such as curb and sidewalk. Once the water mains, services and hydrants have been reestablished, chlorination and testing is completed before affected customers are removed from their temporary water servicing. Disturbed areas will be restored.
Water Main Renewal (CIPP)
A less intrusive way to renew existing water mains is through a process called Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP). This renewal method requires pits to be excavated, usually at the valves, where augers can be used to clean the pipe. After the cleaning, a new pipe liner is installed along with a grout that is cured in the pipe, creating a new pipe inside the old one. This approach greatly reduces the amount of excavation within the street and greatly reducing the negative impact on neighbouring businesses and reidences.
Sewer Line Renewal/Extension
Sewer line renewals and extensions require excavations in the road in order to access the mains and sewer connections. Depending on the excavation depth and method, some surface structures may need replacement such as curb and sidewalk. As needed, water shutoff valves or services are relocated within the right of way during this construction activity. Disturbed areas will be restored.
