Watermain Replacement Project Recently Completed

Jul 15, 2024

We would like to share a quick glimpse into Sixense’s recently completed Heritage Watermain Replacement Project. It was located in the City of Brampton and City of Mississauga.

In 2023, the construction project beneath Highway 407 and Heritage Road required extensive tunneling. This demanded the implementation of accurate monitoring solutions to control ground movements, ensure the safety of workers and neighboring areas, and maintain operational efficiency throughout the complex process.

 

How Sixense Canada Contributed to the Watermain Replacement Project

  • Installed one AMTS to monitor highway surfaces using reflectorless points.
  • Strategically positioned two tiltmeters on the bridge abutment to monitor structural movements.
  • Implemented reflectorless points in three remote arrays, surpassing traditional survey methods like the originally planned survey nails.

Project Completion

It was a pleasure to ensure this project proceeded smoothly & safely with the trust of our client: Ward and Burke!

Sixense Canada’s innovative monitoring approach not only provided the required level of precision but also significantly increased the frequency of readings during the Watermain Replacement Project. This allowed for a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of the project’s progress.

Additionally, by eliminating the need for lane closures during the installation, survey, and decommissioning phases, Sixense minimized disruption to the surrounding area and reduced potential inconveniences for the public.
