AtkinsRéalis announced that it has been selected by Peel Region to provide engineering services in support of the preliminary and detailed designs for the installation of a new sanitary trunk sewer on Kennedy Road (Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project).
AtkinsRéalis will provide geotechnical, hydrogeological and excess soils management investigations for preliminary design (stage-1) and detailed design (stage-2) for the installation of the sanitary trunk sewer. The project will prioritize stakeholder coordination, proper permitting, and fieldwork logistics to ensure rigorous quality, while proactively mitigating risks related to schedule, site access, and environmental compliance. AtkinsRéalis’ design recommendation will also include construction management methods that reduce surface impact, such as trenchless micro-tunnelling.
“We have a long-established relationship with Peel Region that is built on trust, developed over decades of delivering operational excellence,” said Stéphanie Vaillancourt, president, Canada, AtkinsRéalis. “Water projects support economic growth because they form the foundation for new residential and commercial construction in the area.”
The Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project is part of a broader initiative by Peel Region to complete various housing-enabling linear infrastructure projects within Brampton’s central geographic area, to support Ontario’s More Homes Built Faster Act housing supply plan. Under the plan, Ontario targets building 113,000 more residential units in Brampton and 13,000 in Caledon, by 2051.
AtkinsRéalis’ Materials and Geotechnical Testing Laboratory in Vaughan, with its state-of-the-art new equipment and expanded capabilities, will support the work on the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project.
