Project Overview

Richco is currently delivering a watermain replacement for the City of Coquitlam along Thompson Avenue — a live urban corridor requiring careful coordination around existing services and active residents.

The scope involves the full installation of 750 metres of 200mm ductile iron TR-FLEX Class 50 watermain encased in V-Bio protective wrap, a product specified for its corrosion resistance in aggressive soil conditions.

Work includes transferring all existing water services to the new main, hydrant assemblies, and pressure management components, with full surface restoration to follow.

Scope Highlights

• 750m of 200mm DI TR-FLEX Class 50 watermain, V-Bio encased for enhanced corrosion protection
• Full water service connections and transfers from existing main to new alignment
• 5 hydrant assemblies installed
• 1 blow-off assembly and 1 air valve assembly
• Live urban corridor construction with active service maintenance throughout
