Trenchless experience

PW Trenchless was started in January 2000 and has been at the forefrontof Trenchless construction since. Specializing in Pipe Bursting and sliplining, but partners with other trenchless specialty companies to offer vatious services.

The personnel of PW Trenchlesss have been involved involved in trenchless construction since 1990 including th first Micro Tunnel project in British Columbia

Some of the Projects we have done recently include:
  • Port Coquitlam May of 2008. 800m of 525 mm pipe upsized to 750mm...
    a first in Western Canada.

  • Surrey, Water Mains on 152nd,168th and 192, 5.5km of watermains installed by directional drilling.

  • Surrey, Sullivan street force main 400m of force main installed by bursting.

  • GVRD sewer replacement on 16th ave in Surrey. The replacement of 60m of 525mm sewer that was concrete encased and half filled with concrete.

  • New West sewer replacement 2008 this project allows a direct comparison between open cut and trenchless from a cost/carbon/neighborhood disruption. We will have a cost paper in a few weeks comparing the costs and expect that bursting is 30 to 40% cheaper.

Roots from many trees in New Westminster had destroyed many sewer connections throughout New Westminster. The contract was to repair approximately 70 service connections. We used pipebursting for some, and the rest were either slip lined or open cut for the shorter ones.

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.

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.
