Water Quality / Structural Improvement

Pandora Ave. | Douglas St. to Government St.

Client: City of Victoria - Victoria, BC Canada

Date: July 2016

Summary

In 2016, Induracoat again provided lining services for The City of Victoria on Padora Avenue. this line services Victoria City Hall, a local TV station (CTV Vancouver Island) and a centrally located hotel (the Rialto).

The installation of pipe renewal liner acted as a semi-structural liner to ensure that these pipes were sound before investing money in further street surface upgrades.

The City of Victoria was preparing to upgrade the surface streetscape along Pandora St. and was eager to rehabilitate the 1908 water main prior to starting street refurbishment. This extremely busy downtown street is adjacent to Victoria City Hall and centered in Victoria's tourist area.

Full cut replacement would have closed traffic for at least a month, causing significant traffic chaos. Induracoat was able to rehabilitate the water main in three days, while leaving one lane open to traffic."
