The District of Saanich retained Associated Engineering to provide engineering services for water, sewer and storm main and servicing replacement as well as roadworks and traffic calming on Vanalman Avenue.

This included works Vanalman Avenue, located between Mann Avenue and Commerce Circle. Vanalman Avenue is a collector roadway with concrete curb and sidewalk on either side and acts as a BC Transit route. Associated Engineering coordinated with Saanich’s Transportation Department in order to determine the extent of curb and sidewalk replacements, as well as the limits of full-depth road structure replacement and traffic calming measures.

Associated Engineering performed a pre-engineering analysis to confirm water main sizing, size storm and sanitary sewer main pipes, compile background data and prepare complete digital base plans. The project involved preliminary and detailed engineering design for watermain, storm and sanitary sewer main replacement and obtaining the required Island Health Authority (IHA) approvals.
