Located in Surrey, the new Kennedy Newton Water Main consists of 2,665 metres of 1,829mm diameter welded steel pipe, including several reinforced concrete buried chambers, appurtenances, the installation of two manual 1829 diameter butterfly valves, and all associated works. The watermain will connect the proposed 3.5-m Annacis Tunnel Crossing South Shaft to Kennedy Park and Newton Reservoirs.
Construction of this new Kennedy Newton water main began in 2019 and will be phased over several years, due to the length of the water main, which is approximately nine kilometres long. The project, scheduled to be completed in 2024, will increase capacity to meet current and future demands. Most of the pipeline alignment is inside a road right-of-way and runs through residential areas, business corridors, and arterial roads. Challenges are associated with designing large watermains in urban areas.
Integral Engineering scope of Work consists of structural design and structural construction services for large reinforced concrete underground chambers in high water table and under highway loading. The list of the chambers as follow:
Surrey connection PRV chamber at 116 street, Surrey Connection Flowmeter Chamber at 116 Street, Line Valve Chamber at 96A Avenue, Flowmeter Chamber at Holt Road, Holt Road and 90 Avenue Crossover Chamber, Flowmeter Chamber at 90 Avenue, Kennedy Park Connection Chamber, Line Valve Chamber at 88 Avenue, Flowmeter Chamber at 86 Avenue, 86 Avenue Branch Valve Chamber, Surrey Hickleton Flowmeter Chamber at 86 Avenue, 86 Avenue Crossover Chamber, 64 Avenue Connection Chamber, Flowmeter Chamber at 63 Avenue, and Line Valve Chamber at 63 Avenue
