Woodhaven Park Drive and Willowdown Road storm sewer construction borehole drilling June 17-30, 2021

Between June 17 and June 30, 2021, a drilling contractor for the town will be working on Woodhaven Park Drive, Willowdown Road and Coronation Park to gather geotechnical and hydrogeological information for the design of a new storm sewer.

The contractor will drill small boreholes at six locations (three on Woodhaven Park Drive, two on Willowdown Road and one in Coronation Park) to study the geological and groundwater conditions in the area. Drilling operations will be done on a weekday and should be completed in three to four days. While there will be some minor noise, the town will ensure the contractor complies with town by-laws. Following the drilling, groundwater monitoring will take place over a period of three months. 

During the drilling operations, soil samples will be taken for lab analysis. The excess soil that results from the drilling must be placed into drums while we await lab results to determine the condition of the soil before being removed and disposed of. This will result in one or two drums remaining on site at each borehole location for no more than one week. The drums will be labelled with the contractor’s information, the contents of the drums and a contact number.
