Tarpon Contracting’s Core Contributions:

Rehabilitating a large-diameter municipal feeder main across approximately six kilometres required specialized materials, careful execution, and an approach designed to extend the service life of the existing infrastructure. Tarpon Contracting’s work included:

​

• CFRP Structural Rehabilitation: Advanced Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) systems were installed throughout the feeder main to restore structural integrity and reinforce deteriorated sections of the pipeline. The application of high-strength composite materials provided a durable, long-term rehabilitation solution while preserving the existing asset and extending its service life.

​

• Trenchless Pipeline Renewal: Trenchless rehabilitation techniques allowed critical repairs and renewal work to be completed with minimal surface disruption, significantly reducing the need for excavation along the approximately six-kilometre feeder main alignment. 

​

• Pipeline Watermain Restoration: Following rehabilitation activities, the feeder main underwent restoration and commissioning procedures to prepare the asset for service. These efforts supported the successful return of a critical component of the Region of Peel's water transmission network to full operation. 

​

• Disinfection, Sampling & Return to Service: Following completion of the rehabilitation, the feeder main underwent a comprehensive disinfection process using NSF/ANSI 61-certified chlorine to eliminate any potential bacteriological contaminants before being returned to service. After disinfection, bacteriological samples were collected at regulated intervals throughout the pipeline and submitted to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Once test results confirmed compliance with drinking water quality requirements, the feeder main was safely returned to operation
