| Main Street Watermain Project |
|
Project Purpose The replacement of approximately 1,410 meters of cast iron and asbestos cement watermain on Main Street between Ontario Street and the urban boundary west limit (approximately 365 Main Street – Cheer Farms). The purpose is for infrastructure renewal, provide a secondary feed to the Applewood / Orchard Gate Development and improve demand and fire flows along Main Street.
Project Management The Municipality hired Monument Geomatics & Estimating Limited for engineering consulting services to design and tender the project. Watermain modeling to determine pipe diameter was completed by Greer Galloway Limited. Municipal staff will provide project management during construction. QBT Excavating Services Limited was awarded construction through competitive bidding in the amount of $3,621,923.23 inclusive of 15% contingency and the expensed portion of HST.
Comments can be addressed to: Municipality of Brighton Mr. John Gooding Manager of Capital Infrastructure 67 Sharp Road Brighton, Ontario 613-475-1162 x 102 Project Scope In March 2022 the Municipality was successful in receiving a grant in the amount of $2,152,518.04 under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) to share in the cost for the replacement of approximately 1,410 meters cast iron and asbestos cement watermain on Main Street between Ontario Street and the West Limit (approximately 365 Main Street – Cheer Farms). Works include asphalt restoration by milling the existing asphalt wearing surface 100mm in depth and repave with 50mm HL8 base and 50mm HL3 hot mix asphalt including 1.5m paved shoulders. This project will be phased with all works completed between Percy Steet to Ontario Street in 2023 and between Percy Street to West Limit in 2024. This will permit the Applewood Subdivision to complete Phase 3 off-site stormwater works and a turning lane at Rundle Lane concurrently in 2023. This project is scheduled for completion in August 2024. What Residents can Expect Main Street will remain open through the duration of the project. Sections of the road will be reduced to one lane with traffic control in place. Temporary detours may be required where road sections are closed due to construction. Temporary water will be supplied where necessary. Residents of the Orchard Gate and Applewood Meadow subdivision should not experience any disruption to water service as it is currently supplied from a connection to Ontario Street. The road surface where disturbed due to construction will be restored prior to November 30, 2023. Construction for Phase 2 will commence in April 2024 with a final completion date of August 2024.
Main Street Watermain - Drawings
Status Update – November 22, 2023 Construction activity is now wrapping up for the season. QBT Excavating Ltd. is progressing ahead of schedule with the new watermain between Ontario Street to Simpson Street installed and in operation. Base asphalt is in place between Ontario Street and Percy Street and will receive another top lift of asphalt when the remaining road is resurfaced, tentatively June 2024. Construction will resume in early Spring 2024 as weather permits.
Status Update – March 4, 2024 Construction works will resume April 1, 2024. Works include installation of watermain west of Rundle Lane, shoulders & ditches, pavement milling and new asphalt. Schedule is for underground works to be completed in April, with final asphalt May 2024.
Status Update - May 1, 2024 Physical watermain installation will be completed by May 3, 2024. Disinfection and testing of the main will occur the week of May 6. Upon sucessful results, QBT Excavating Ltd. will begin connecting private service laterals to the new watermain. Ditching, shoulder restoration and road surface preparation will occur in May 2024 with base and top lifts of asphalt completed in June 2024 to finalize the project. The image below was taken on May 1, 2024 at the west limit of the project. Shown here is an excavator removing the 300mm (12") concrete road base layer having previously removed a 250mm (10") asphalt layer. In perspective, most streets in Brighton are constructed with 100mm (4") asphalt over 450mm (18") of granular. This composite concrete/asphalt road design is common under former provincial highways and is generally no longer used. The cost to remove this concrete layer was deemed prohibitive, so in consultation with geotechincial and asphalt product experts a lower-cost solution was decided to:
This flexible asphalt is designed to bridge over different sub-bases (including concrete) and flex to the varying expansion rates to avoid premature cracking. The municpality anticipates this will extend the road service life for 15-20 years before requiring rehabilitation or reconstruction. At that time, development growth in the west urban area may require a different (urbanized) or higher capacity (additional lanes) road configuration.
Status Update - July 4, 2024 Project is complete!

Marina Drive |
|
Project Purpose The reconstruction of Marina Drive between Harbour Street and Raglan Street consisting of a new storm sewer, curbs, sidewalk, water laterals, sanitary cleanouts, and asphalt surface. Existing water and sanitary mains will remain in place. Project Management The municipality hired Jewell Engineering to provide survey and engineering design as part of the Harbour, Walas and Marina Project. 90% engineering design will be completed by the end of 2023 and the project tendered for works in 2024. Comments can be addressed to: Municipality of Brighton Brighton Council approved this project in the 2024 Capital Budget at the November 6, 2023 council meeting. Marina Drive was selected as it required only a minor storm connection on Harbour Street while Walas Street requires major downstream stormwater infrastructure to proceed. Harbour Street is too costly to fit within the 2024 budget. Experiences constructing this section will inform staff on how to approach other phases on the difficulty in working in local soils and shallow groundwater conditions. Municipal records state that Marina Drive was constructed in 1993. Underground water and sanitary infrastructure are at their mid-life cycles. It was decided to replace only water service laterals and install cleanouts on the existing sanitary lines to update to current standards and focus on components where failures typically occur. The remaining scope of works include applying an urban cross section with curbs, sidewalk and 8.5m asphalt roadway. A new piped storm sewer system with service laterals will replace the existing semi-urban standard ditches. What Residents can Expect Engineering is ongoing and will be posted under the Harbour, Walas and Marina section when it is available. Tendering is scheduled for March 2024 with construction tentatively scheduled between May 2024 and July 2024. Residents on Marina Drive will be directly notified prior to construction. Status Update – March 4, 2024 Tender closed March 1, 2024. Dekeyser Excavating was lowest bidder and will be recommended for contract award at the March 25, 2024 Council Meeting. Construction to start in April 2024, pending Council Approval. Preliminary site works will begin in March 2024. Status Update - March 11, 2024 Contact award will be at the March 25th, 2024 Council Meeting, not March 18. Construction notices and a stake will be provided week of March 11. Residents are asked to mark with the provided stake the desired location for a new storm sewer connection will be at their property line. Status Update - March 26, 2024 Awarded at March 25th, 2004 Council Meeting to Dekeyser Excavating. Quinte Sewer has completed camera work on the sanitary sewer. Dekeyser Excavating will begin repairs on existing sanitary laterals as well as an exploratory dig on Harbour Street to confirm stormwater inverts. Status Update - May 1, 2024 Dekeyser Excavating worked around April rain showers to install the new storm sewer main line. In May 2024 new storm and water service lateral connections will begin. Residents should expect water service disruptions as water service laterals are replaced. Residents will be provided notification prior to any disruption and the duration should be 1-2 hours each to complete. Additionl works include new road base, curbs, sidewalk, asphalt, driveway and boulevard restoration. Construction should be completed in June 2024. The image below was taken on March 15, 2024. An exploratory excavation was made on Marina Drive to confirm the type of water service saddle used (a water service saddle secures the service valve to the watermain). Unfortunately, a single bolt vs double bolt saddle was specified when the watermain was installed in 1993. This single bolt design has a higher risk of leaking or failure. The watermain is in good repair with 50 years of estimated remaining life. A cost effective solution is to reduce the risk of failure and replace water services only while the road is under reconstruction.
July 4, 2024 Underground works are complete. Contractor is importing road granular and preparing road base for curbs and asphalt. Curbs are scheduled for July 8 - 12, following will be road asphalt and boulevard restoration. End of July is the updated target date for completion. September 27, 2024 Project is complete! |
