Project Status: May 30, 2023

The City’s contractor, Filanc, worked in conjunction with their subcontractor, Foundation Pile, as well as city personnel and the CM team to streamline the sheet pile installation process. Crews focused on laying out the perimeter for the new pump station and modifying construction methods to minimize the impact of the construction on the surrounding neighborhood. Foundation crews pre-drilled the perimeter of the remaining sheet pile install locations.

This pre-active measure streamlined the driving of the sheet pile installation process, allowing greater ease of the sheet piles being driven resulting in a faster install process and minimizing noise to the neighborhood. Once predrilling activities were completed, sheet pile installation activities resumed on May 18 and the installation was completed on May 26. The project team appreciates the neighborhood’s patience and cooperation during this phase of work.

Now that shoring installation is complete, Filanc will focus on excavating to the bottom of the subgrade which is expected to take approximately one month. Filanc will also be working towards installation of a bypass system that will allow for the existing storm water discharge pipes from the pump station to be taken temporarily off-line and allow for the construction of a new meter vault while still maintaining the ability to pump storm water flows.
