Complete Utility Contractors is proud to be delivering an underground utility upgrade for the City of Vancouver in the Shaughnessy neighbourhood. Located near West 27th Avenue and Osler Street, this project focuses on modernizing essential sewer infrastructure in a well-established residential area, supporting long-term system performance, environmental protection, and community resilience.
The project scope includes approximately 1.7 kilometres of sewer separation, featuring pipe sizes ranging from 200mm to 375mm PVC and 450mm to 900mm concrete. Sewer separation upgrades aging combined sewer systems - many of which were installed in the 1960s or 1970s - by separating stormwater and sanitary flows. This work plays a critical role in reducing overflow risks during heavy rainfall events and improving overall system reliability.
Construction is progressing through Vancouver's heaviest rainy seasons, including periods impacted by significant storm systems and atmospheric river events. Despite challenging weather conditions, Complete Utility Contractors' crews continue to advance the work safely and efficiently. No amount of rain has slowed progress, reflecting the team's experience, preparation, and commitment to maintaining schedule while upholding safety and quality standards.
Working underground in a mature neighbourhood requires careful coordination, technical expertise, and respect for surrounding residents. Through close collaboration with the City of Vancouver, the project is being executed to meet modern infrastructure standards while minimizing disruption to the community.
The project is expected to continue through April 2026, and upon completion, the upgraded sewer system will provide enhanced capacity and durability for decades to come. This work underscores Complete Utility Contractors' dedication to delivering critical infrastructure projects - rain or shine - that strengthen Vancouver's urban systems and support sustainable communities.
