EPCOR PROJECT

 A large shaft will be constructed at 71 Street and 89 Avenue to facilitate the upgrade to the manhole.

The work will include the excavation of a shaft using a drill rig. A crane will be used to facilitate the removal of soil as the shaft is dug. Loaders and tandem trucks will also be utilized on site.

Residents may experience dust, odour, and general noise as a number of construction equipment and trucks will be used for material delivery, excavation, soil removal and surface restoration.

Additional open cut work for this project will occur in the summer of 2022.

The first phase is the drilling that is scheduled to begin on December 3, 2021 and is expected to be completed on December 8, 2021. Please note: mobilization of equipment to site will begin on November 29, 2021.
