Bearspaw South Feeder Main Parkdale Boulevard Repairs

While the feeder main is shut down for connection work this fall, The City will take the opportunity to complete six additional repairs on the feeder main between the Shaganappi Pump Station and the Memorial Pump Station along Parkdale Boulevard and Memorial Drive N.W. 

The repairs will involve 24/7 construction excavating six locations, removing sections of pipe, up to 4.3-metre long, and replacing them with new steel segments.

Construction will begin in mid-September 2026 with crews mobilizing to the area and construction laydown areas being set up. The repairs will be completed during the BSFM shutdown already planned for October 2026 to tie the new BSFM pipe into Calgary's water system.

Recent condition assessments identified six locations on the 1500 mm section of the Bearspaw South Feeder main that require proactive repairs. Assessments of the 1500 mm section show it remains in good overall condition and does not require replacement. Instead, targeted repairs at specific locations will help maintain the pipe's long-term reliability. 

Completing this work while the feeder main is already out of service for planned connection work is the most efficient approach and helps reduce future risk and disruption.
