North Central Drainage Project

To reduce the risk of surface and basement flooding, the North Central Drainage Project will replace and upgrade the storm sewer system along both 2nd Avenue and Athol Street.

The North Central Drainage Upgrade will help prevent ponding during large storms and reduce the risk of basement and street flooding, benefiting approximately 450 homes within this neighbourhood. This project will impact about 24 blocks over the duration of the project.

The project will be very intrusive to the community and each block will have various levels of construction from curb to curb.

In future phases, residents may be without water for emergency shutdowns of eight hours for short term water pipe replacements. If residents are on a block receiving full block water main replacement, they will be connected to the water system through an above ground water connection for the duration of the water main replacement until they can be safely returned to the underground water system.

Project Outcomes

  • Installation of new storm sewer mains
  • Reduced risk of basement and street flooding in the area
  • Approximately 50 homes will see a reduction of ponding directly impacting their property
  • Approximately 10 ponding areas that are looking to be reduced

Traffic Restrictions

To reduce the impact on residents and traffic, work in 2021 will be completed in five phases along Athol Street, between Pony Park and 2nd Avenue, and west along 2nd Avenue to Wascana Street. The City will advise residents of each phase, along with necessary closures and restrictions.

Starting on April 12, the first phase of work will begin along Athol Street, between Pony Park and 2nd Avenue. Drivers may want to consider alternate routes as Athol Street will be closed to traffic. This phase of work is estimated to take approximately fourteen weeks to complete, weather permitting.

To ensure safety for residents, the work zone will be fenced off. Please be cautious in the area.

Timeline

The North Central Drainage project is anticipated to be complete in 2022. This timeline was increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Phase One: Complete
  • Phase Two:  April 2021 to end of October, weather permitting

Investment

  • $15 million investment over three years.

Drilling of a Steel Casing/Carrier Pipe Under CN Rail 1/6

This carrier pipe will house the 200mm PVC wastewater pipe. This work is part of some re-routing work that is needed to take place to allow installation of the large diameter (1600mm) storm pipe.

Fall 2020 Progress 1/6

This view is looking south towards 600 Block Athol Street. These two pipes will allow stormwater from North Central to cross under the train tracks and enter into the North Storm Channel. A special coring methodology was used to install these pipes under CN rail.

Fall 2020 Progress 2/6

A concrete box structure is installed on either side of CN rail to allow access to these pipe crossings.

Fall 2020 Progress 3/6

Concrete pipe is on-site ready to be installed further south along Athol Street and further north through Pony Park to connect to the North Storm Channel.

Fall 2020 Progress 4/6

Sending a smaller pipe along the path of where the new pipe is going as a helpful guide.

Fall 2020 Progress 5/6

This is the 1.5 meter diameter steel pipe that will be installed under CN Rail. This pipe will support and will contain the plastic (PVC) pipe that actually is used to transport storm water.

Fall 2020 Progress 6/6

This is the 1.2 meter diameter plastic (PVC) pipe that will be within the steel pipe used to transport the stormwater from the North Central neighbourhood to the North Storm Channel.

Vault Structure

Concrete vault structure installed on either side of the CN rail pipe crossing. The pipe travels through Pony Park and into the North Storm Channel.
