GOC376885 - CONTRACTING - TAX CENTRE RISER PIPE REPAIR & DOMESTIC WATER LINE REPAIRS

City supply of domestic water was coming through the mechanical space. The area was isolated and the secondary domestic water source was activated. City of Winnipeg determined that the leak is not on their side of the water supply line. City indicated possible joint leak or pipe crack. The water has been isolated so there will be no more leaking from that line until repairs can be made. The building has a second water line feed that is providing water for domestic use and for the sprinkler systems. If something similar was to happen to the remaining water line, there will be no water to the building. The broken pipe requires repair, however leak is in the horizontal underground pipe. The pipe will have to be dug up from the outside of the building to expose the broken pipe. The outside of the boiler room wall is in the air conditioner compound, which means a large machine cannot access the area. The restraining rods on the west mechanical room sprinkler riser are rotted and failing. These must be replaced at the same time during this project.
