Edmonton Meter Move Program

Edmonton 2011 Meter Move Program The scope of the work was to relocate existing residential inside gas meters to the exterior of building for reading purposes and as a safety upgrade to ATCO Gas' system. All work was within the City of Edmonton. In total there were 2,600 moves to complete. Somerville was responsible for everything from contacting customers and making appointments, applying for and tracking locates/permits, completing all underground work so that the existing steel line could be transitioned to plastic and a new riser installed on the exterior of the house, and completing all associated downstream piping. The below ground work involved digging either by hand or with a mini-excavator and using trenchless technology (ie. torpedo or hole hog as well as directional drill) to run the line under ground with minimal disturbance to the customers yard. The gas line downstream of the meter was also piped to complete the moving of the gas meter. The properties were then repaired back to the same or better condition than before our work, which included such things as laying sod, pouring and finishing concrete or completing asphalt repairs.
