This project involved constructing 4100m of 400mm transmission main along County Roads 4 and 35 in Woodstock, Ontario. L82 also constructed three air release chambers and three drain chambers and had to directionally drill under the main entrance of the New Toyota Plant and a major water course.
This project was constructed in the winter months to provide the new Toyota plant with potable water.
There were four keys to success with this project. They were winter construction, traffic control, maintaining access through the new Toyota plants main entrance, and managing local residence. The solutions were resolved with the following.
- Winter construction issue was solved by having L82 plow the road and having a strict daily cleanup policy.
- The traffic control issue was mitigated with L82 having an extensive traffic management plan and having it executed. By providing two lanes of traffic when L82 was not onsite, project stakeholders were kept happy.
- The New Toyota Plant construction issue was solved at the design stage, where RV Anderson adjusted the design to enable directional drilling under the entrance.
- Local residences were satisfied with an information centre prior to the start of construction.
The Keys for this projects success was the management and construction knowledge of L82, the coordination with the owner of RV Anderson, and also with the pre-planning and the public relation of the County of Oxford representatives.
