Eagle Creek Village

The Opportunity

Phase 1 of the project required the design of a sanitary sewer extension through a heavily congested intersection at Helmcken Road and Watkiss Way. Two large diameter water supply mains, communications conduits, gas lines and storm sewer lines all had to be avoided throughout the extension. The design of a water supply large enough to provide the fire flows required for a development of this size, the design of various road features including a multi-lane roundabout and road widening were also required for Phase 1 of the project. 

Phase 2 of the project included the design and construction of a creekside trail through parkland that was dedicated as part of the project as well as design and construction of servicing for the two additional residential buildings.

The Approach

Initially, Westbrook provided civil engineering support services for the rezoning of the site and the development permit for Phase 1 of the project. Westbrook also reviewed the servicing requirements for the project and coordinated with the ownership group, architectural team, civil contractor and the Town of View Royal.

The water supply was provided from new connections to the existing supply mains and was then tied back into the pre-existing smaller diameter network to improve the water supply for the local neighbourhood.

The Result

Detailed design of Phase 1 commenced in early 2013 and continued on into late 2014. Construction of onsite services commenced in 2014 and offsite construction soon followed in late 2015 and continued into 2016. Construction of the trail and the remainder of Phase 2 servicing was completed in 2018.
