Construction Update

• Beginning as early as May 4,2026, the construction of the new pressure reducing station and storage tank will begin with the installation of sheet piles at the project site at 1941 Wilroy Road.
• Sheet piles are used to support the excavation for the permanent structures. They create temporary retaining walls that hold back soil to allow for deeper excavation that is necessary for the pump station construction.
• These sheet piles are placed into the earth using a vibratory hammer, which may seem loud at times during installation.
• Installation of sheet piles is a slow process to ensure that the sheets are correctly installed and to maintain vibration limits to prevent damage to existing adjacent structures. The contractor is monitoring vibration on site near the installations to stay within project vibration limits.
• The noise level will vary based on type of equipment used, length of sheets, and the soil condition.
• The concrete piles will be transported to the site using tractor-trailers. Their use of Wilroy Road will be limited and should not significantly impact traffic flow.
• This portion of work is anticipated to be completed in 4-6 weeks. Due to the nature of construction, work is weather and situation dependent, and dates are subject to change.
• Below are pictures of the concrete piling installation process.
