This was the first Microtunnel project undertaken in Western Canada.  It involved the installation of aproximately 950 meters (3100 ft.) of 600mm reinforced concrete pipe with an Iseki TCC 780 UncleMole.  The project was completed over the course of 5 months.  Individual drive lengths varied up to 100 meters (330 ft.) at depths ranging from 5-14 meters (16-50 ft.) in predominantly clay till soils.
