Drill crews are in Quesnel working on the West Quesnel Land Stability Program. This vertical well, drilled in Uplands Park, will house a monitoring well, one of the instruments that helps measure the results of the full scale dewatering program. The city will dewater and monitor the dewatering results until June 2014. At that time, the city will be able to properly evaluate the program and determine next steps. The Government of Canada, Province of British Columbia and City of Quesnel are each contributing $1.57 million through the Building Canada Fund – Communities Component program, part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, to pay for the full-scale dewatering program budget of $4.731 million; in this photo, crews add a length of pipe to the horizontal drill working in West Quesnel near Adam Street. The horizontal drains are one type of dewatering method the city is employing in the West Quesnel Land Stability dewatering program.
