Making some miles was what this project was all about. We started looking at 26km of duct along the ditches and boulevards East to West across the city. At tender things looked pretty rosey with just a bit of work in the roadway on either end. We were pressed for schedule and committed to completion in 92 days. Well as things go, the alignment got rejected by the landowners and 50% of the route got changed. Once the smoke cleared and the drawing board spit out a new idea, we were up to 28 km and a month down the road with new permits in hand. We spent 112 days working primarily within the road rights-of-way splitting the city on the south side. The pipelines, the rail lines, the LRT lines, the traffic, the Highway and all the other construction we encountered along the way came and went as the drill made its way across town.
