700 LM of 1.2m Sanitite HP Storm Pipe and Flow Control Structure
Successful Pipe Installation on Indigenous Land
The Sanitite HP storm pipe installation was an experimental product for the City of Delta, sourced from the US. With experience installing a wide range of utilities, J.Cote was able to install the storm pipe successfully with no issues. In addition, J.Cote worked alongside the archeologists and First Nation band to ensure that every artifact unearthed was done so with tact, precision, and caution.
