Culvert and Sewer Rehabilitation
La ville de Cornwall a plusieurs projets de construction prévus pour 2025, conformément au budget approuvé par le conseil. La liste ci-dessous est sujette à changement et les dates d'achèvement sont provisoires. Les reconstructions, mises à niveau et améliorations sont des investissements essentiels pour garantir la qualité de nos infrastructures pour les années à venir. La Ville reconnaît que certaines constructions peuvent gêner les résidents et apprécie la coopération des résidents. Chaque page de projet contient plus de détails et listera les fermetures, mais les informations les plus récentes sont disponibles en appelant les Travaux municipaux au 613-932-5354.
The City of Cornwall will be repairing culvert crossings throughout the city. Culverts are an important part of our drainage systems.
How we fix them
The repair method is cured-in-place culvert lining. Workers insert a flexible liner into the existing culvert. Then they use steam to harden the liner. This creates a new culvert inside the old one. Here are the steps to fix a culvert:
-
Set up bypass pumps and erosion controls (these protect fish and wildlife)
-
Clean the existing culvert
-
Install the new liner
-
Restore the area, which this includes ditch cleaning, new topsoil and grass seed or sod
You may see utility crews before work starts
Before construction begins, you may see utility companies like Enbridge or Bell in the area. They are moving their pipes and wires to make room for the work. If your service is disrupted, please contact them directly.
The crew may not be on site every day
There may be days when you do not see the contractor on site between the different steps. This is normal. The contractor has many crews that do different types of work.
