The Robson to Guildford Section will be constructed in an open trench within an enclosed work site.

Activities will include excavating a trench, installing a 3.2 metre diameter pipe, installing new underground valve chambers along the alignment and performing testing of the water main before site restoration. Metro Vancouver will then connect the newly constructed main to the existing drinking water system.

Metro Vancouver recognizes that construction of the water main will impact traffic flow on roadways. In order to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently, Metro Vancouver will:

• Work with traffic experts to plan detour routes for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists
• Coordinate road, lane and driveway closures as needed
• Employ traffic control personnel during working hours
• Post construction signage where required

Metro Vancouver will complete water main construction in coordination with the City of Coquitlam’s Pipeline Road Upgrade Project. Once both projects are complete, the City of Coquitlam will lead restoration and tree replanting in Town Centre Park.
