This pipebursting project was partially in a church parking lot. There were 2 runs involved, one in the street and one in the easement that was part of the churches parking lot. We did the two runs during spring break when the school was unoccupied.

This pipebursting project was in a small park on the waterfront of Horseshoe Bay. Trees made this a perfect job for pipebursting. We were in and out in under one week with very little ground disturbance.

Oct. 2000

The Corporation of the District of West Vancouver
This pipebursting project consisted of two fairly short runs of around 50m. each. Each run was similar in length, grade and in that they went from a lane to a manhole situated in the road. As both of these runs were in a 3m. right of way between houses, open cutting for pipe laying new pipe was not feasible.

This project involved a 106m long replacement of 200mm sewer with a 300mm line. Part of the line ran underneath an existing school building and through the courtyard of the school... making open cut trenching impossible.
