    Why aren't the workers working Saturdays to speed up the process?

    Brenty14 asked 3 months ago

    The County of Brant allows contractors to work Saturdays at their discretion. Some contractors do take advantage of the opportunity to work Saturday especially if they are behind schedule, but most do not. Typically, contractors work 10 hours days, 5 days a week and it is difficult to find help that will work the additional overtime on a Saturday not to mention the additional cost of paying overtime rates for labour. Hours of work legislation also governs working hours for truck drivers and equipment operators to ensure they get adequate rest which ensures they are alert and can operate machinery safely. Workers also need rest time and to spend time with family.  Tired workers are less productive and less alert which is a safety concern. 

    Though the overall duration of construction may be reduced by working Saturday, disruption to local residents would extend into the weekend. Though work only is occurring in the road allowance, noise and other factors like service disruptions and dust would impact local residents time at home. Access to and from the property would also be impacted.

The road has been under construction for months and months and very rarely do residents see any work being done on the watermain and sanitary sewers. Can you elaborate on whether the Grand River Street North section to Scott Avenue will be completed "before the end of December 2023"?

    The Contractor has been working diligently to complete all aspects of the watermain and sanitary sewer installation according to the approved schedule. During the watermain commissioning phase of the project, it may have appeared that work moved more slowly, as time is necessary for testing and approvals of the new watermain to take place. 

     

    Sanitary installation continues to go well as they move towards the Scott Avenue intersection. Should the weather continue to cooperate, Grand River Street North to Scott Avenue should reopen within the next 3 to 4 weeks.

    Thank you,

    M. Eby, P. Eng.,
