Excavation to replace electrical box/manhole access delayed by water seepage
A BC Hydro excavation project that’s been ongoing the past two months near the intersection of Winnipeg and Carney streets is still a few weeks away from completion.
BC Hydro community relations manager Mike Kellett said the utility company needed to act promptly to replace a manhole and underground concrete utility box that encases an electrical box installed in the ‘60’s. The box had deteriorated to the point where the components inside were at risk of failure, which could have interrupted electrical power for hydro customers in the area.
“There’s an electrical box under the intersection there that had significantly eroded and needed to be replaced quite urgently. Because of the nature of the slope, going down Carney Hill, there’s a lot of water flowing down into the excavation site which requires BC Hydro to de-water the area as we go, which obviously slows down.”
