Noise and Vibration Mitigation
Noise and vibration impacts to your building depend on your proximity to the source and how the vibrations travel through the soil and interact with the foundation and structure of your building. Crosslinx Transit Solutions has implemented several noise reductions measures on site to mitigate the impact felt by the community during mining activities. Enclosures are used to cover equipment like generators and pumps, silencers are used to reduce noise from fans, and delivery routes and times are selected to minimize disruption – just to name a few.
If you experience disruption from mining activities, please call our 24/7 phone line at 416-782-8118.

Concrete Pours
|
- Concrete pours will occur approximately once per week over the next year.
- Concrete trucks will be staged in the existing laydown area on the north side of Eglinton Avenue and exit the site at the gate on the west end of the site.
- Some of the trucks will be required to back into the west gate of the secondary entrance due to coordination with other construction activities that will be underway during the concrete pour.

- Weekly
- November 4, 6 and 7, 2019

Connection Bore Holes
West of Main Entrance
*more details in CLC deck from September 4
|
- Additional connection holes to the tunnels are required to facilitate final lining activities and deliver concrete to the cavern level
- Drilling of the bore holes will occur just west f the Main Entrance.
|
- Drilling will take approximately one (1) week.
|
|
Dewatering Well Maintenance
Periodic maintenance of dewatering wells as required.
|
- Periodic maintenance will be ongoing and require a short duration (1 day) enclosure around the well in the right of way
- A compressor and occasional hydrovac truck will be used to complete the maintenance
|
|
|
Monitoring Work
- Equipment is installed in various locations around the station are to monitor ground movement during construction.
Read the construction notice for more detail.
|
- To install the monitoring equipment in the ground, crews move from location to location around the station area. Typically, a drilling machine is used to drill the hole where the monitor will be installed.
- If on the sidewalk, pedestrians may need to be routed around the work zone (sidewalks stay open). If on the roadway, a short-term lane closure may be required.
|
- Readings will be taken regularly for the duration of the project.
- Installations planned to be complete in the next few months.
|
Currently installations are focused east of Secondary entrance
