Westminster Highway and Nelson Road Widening 

Project Description

Westminster Highway was originally 2 lanes wide between No. 6 Road and Highway 91 at the Hamilton Interchange. Nelson Road south of Westminster Highway is currently 2 lanes wide. As the amount of industrial activity has increased in the Port Metro Vancouver lands at the south ends of No 8 Road and Nelson Road, there has been a corresponding increase in the amount of heavy vehicle traffic on Westminster Highway. To address this traffic, the following projects have been identified by the City of Richmond, Province of British Columbia, and Port Metro Vancouver:

• Widening Westminster Highway from McMillan Way to Highway 91 at the Hamilton Interchange from 2 lanes to 4 lanes including cycling facilities (completed in 2006)
• A new interchange at Highway 91 and Nelson Road (completed in 2011)
• Widening Westminster Highway from Nelson Road to McMillan Way from 2 lanes to 4 lanes including off-road pedestrian and cycling facilities (this project)
• Widening Nelson Road from Blundell Road to Westminster Highway from 2 lanes to 4 lanes including off-road pedestrian and cycling facilities (this project)

Long Shaft Pump Replacement Program

Three of the City's drainage pump stations have aging long shaft pumps that are in need of replacement. The pumps are outdated and replacement parts are no longer available. New KSB and Flygt pumps will be installed with Variable Frequency Drives at several pump stations resulting in energy and cost savings.

• Compared to submersible pumps, long shaft pumps are costly to maintain and challenging to service, especially in the event of blockage or failure.
  Submersible pumps are 30-40% more energy efficient than the long shaft pumps.
• KSB/Flygt pumps are approximately the same dimensions as the long shaft pumps eliminating the need for costly retrofits or renovations to the pump stations.
• Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) provide energy efficiency by varying the speed of the pump in response to the water level rather than running the pump at a set speed which may be higher than required while accomplishing the same result.
• VFD's extend the service life of the pump and electrical system by reducing hydraulic and mechanical stresses in the pump and electrical components and thermal stresses in the motor control system associated with cycling the pump on and off.
• Extend service life of outfall infrastructure by maintaining a more constant water flow compared to a surges of water and possible water hammer generated by pump cycles.

This is the second year of a four year program.

Canal Stabilization

Project Description
With continued development the drainage system is conveying higher volumes of water and experiencing a higher rate of degradation of the canal banks. This results in road shoulder and ditch bank failures as well as potential reduction in the City’s ability to convey runoff and irrigation water. To prevent damage to public and private property and ensure the effectiveness of the canal, it is important to undertake canal stabilization projects. Solutions include partial re-profiling of the canal plus construction of a retaining wall or similar stabilisation structures. This project will stabilise the No. 3 Road Canal and No. 8 Road Canal walls to improve drainage, mitigate damage to the roadway, prevent damage to City utilities running parallel to the canals and preserve valuable riparian habitat.
