or industrial wires buried during the pre-build process for two nearby condos. The machine soon became tangled in the wires, unable to vacate the tunnel without intervention from the city.
Following an initial rescue estimate of $7.2 million, a February report from the city said the machine would be fully removed by the end of March, with an updated $9 million price tag. Four months later, that price has tripled – including applicable taxes, the city says the cost could surpass $25 million – and the project is estimated to be completed in August.
The remaining work to be done in order to retrieve the machine includes the completion of a recovery tunnel, the installation of 12.5 metres of sewer pipe and what are expected to be significant repairs to the boring machine.Share:
