York Street and Wallace Road construction borehole drilling starting September 13, 2021

During the week of September 13, 2021, a drilling contractor for the town will be working on York Street and Wallace Road to gather geotechnical and environmental information for the design of the road.

The contractor will drill small boreholes at various locations to study the geological and environmental conditions in the area. Drilling operations will be done on a weekday and should be completed in two to three days. While there will be some minor noise, the town will ensure the contractor complies with town by-laws. 

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.
