Complete Utility Contractors (CUC) has successfully completed the installation of the final sections of 2.9 kilometres of twin high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sanitary forcemain pipes in Surrey, marking a major milestone for the Bear Creek and Quibble Creek infrastructure project.



After five months of intensive construction, approximately 1.2 kilometres of 750mm HDPE pipe have been installed through Bear Creek, with an additional 1.7 kilometres of 700mm pipe now in place along Quibble Creek. Crews are currently backfilling the excavation trenches and conducting permanent pavement restoration. Once the final layer of asphalt is applied, the corridor will be seamlessly reintegrated into the surrounding area.

This $7.6 million project was awarded to CUC by Surrey City Council in November. In addition to the main pipe installation, the scope of work includes the integration of air release valves, blowdown stations, and other essential appurtenances to ensure system reliability and long-term performance.

The final phase of the project involves the installation of a 3.5 x 3.0 metre transition chamber near Holland Park and Old Yale Road. This structure will connect the newly installed HDPE forcemains to the existing 1050mm concrete sanitary main, completing the integration into the city's wastewater network.

The new twin sewer lines have been constructed within a shared trench that runs through Holland Park and along 134 Street, adjacent to A.H.P. Matthew Elementary and near Queen Elizabeth Secondary School. Designed to support growing demands, these forcemains will provide a vital alternative route for sewage conveyance from parts of City Centre and the Newton area. The existing sewer infrastructure, built in 1970, is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of Surrey’s rapidly expanding population.

This upgrade marks a significant step toward enhancing the city's sanitary infrastructure and ensuring sustainable service delivery for years to come.
