Inglewood Sanitary Trunk: Phase Two Update
The City of Calgary has begun Phase Two of the Inglewood Sanitary Trunk (IST) project. As residents living near the project area, we want to share the below construction update so you are informed and to answer potential questions you may have.
Project Updates
As previously shared in December 2023, we needed to remove trees as part of site preparations within the green space and along the riverbank. At that time, 7 trees were removed in the green space. A section of trees were also removed along the riverbank and was much smaller in area than originally proposed

The area in which trees will be removed is identified in the image to the right, outlined by the blue line. Work will commence the week of April 8.
Drilling of the concrete piles and material excavation for the shaft is complete. We are now preparing the shaft for the microtunnel machine. Microtunnelling will start in early May, ending in approximately October, 2024.
The installation of a sound wall along 7 Avenue SE is tentatively scheduled for mid-to-late April, to help with noise reduction during microtunnelling.
We require a permanent water source to the construction site be installed from a fire hydrant located at the NE corner of the 8 Av SE and 9 St SE intersection. The line will be buried underground in the 9 St SE alley. The line will take approximately a week to install in mid-April. We will have flaggers on site to ensure the
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to complete this necessary project.
