Enfield DHN Meridian Water North Extension

Project Overview:
Our team was tasked with extending the District Heating Network (DHN) in Enfield as part of the Meridian Water North Extension project. Phase 1 of this extensive project involved laying 3 kilometers of 710 OD/500 DN pipe along the main high street in Edmonton. This significant infrastructure development aimed to enhance the district heating capabilities in the area, providing a reliable and sustainable heating solution to the community.
Scope of Work:
  • Pipe Installation: We installed 3 kilometers of high-quality pipe with dimensions of 710 OD and 500 DN. The installation down the main high street required careful planning and execution to minimize disruption and ensure the integrity of the existing infrastructure.
  • Trench Work: The trenching operations were carried out at depths ranging from 3 meters to 5 meters. This required precise engineering and careful monitoring to ensure the stability and safety of the excavation.
  • Safety Measures: To ensure the highest safety standards, the trenches were sheet piled and double fenced. These measures were crucial in safeguarding both the workers and the public, maintaining a secure worksite throughout the project duration.
Challenges and Solutions:
  • Urban Environment: Working in a busy urban environment posed significant logistical challenges. We implemented strategic planning and phased work schedules to minimize disruptions to traffic and local businesses.
  • Depth of Trenches: The varying trench depths required advanced engineering solutions to maintain stability and safety. Our team employed robust sheet piling techniques and continuous monitoring to address these challenges effectively.
Outcome:
The Enfield DHN Meridian Water North Extension project was successfully completed, with all objectives met within the projected timeline and budget. The newly installed 3-kilometer pipeline has significantly enhanced the district heating network’s capacity, ensuring a reliable and sustainable heating supply for the community.
Project Value:
The investment in this phase of the project underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure that supports the long-term sustainability goals of the Enfield community. The successful completion of this project exemplifies our expertise in managing complex urban infrastructure projects while maintaining stringent safety and quality standards.
This case study highlights our capability in executing large-scale district heating projects and our dedication to enhancing urban infrastructure through innovative engineering and meticulous planning.
