A comprehensive, multi-asset underground infrastructure assessment for the Town of Morinville — delivering the data-driven, risk-based rehabilitation strategy needed to underpin the Town’s 5-Year Capital Plan.
The Town of Morinville engaged Avodahtec to assess the condition and long-term performance of its buried infrastructure network, including stormwater, sanitary, and water distribution systems.
The objective was to move beyond reactive maintenance and establish a data-driven, risk-based rehabilitation strategy to support the Town’s 5-Year Capital Plan. The assessment spans 16 storm sewer segments (786 m) with 31 manholes, 18 sanitary sewer segments (2.1 km) with 21 manholes, and 48 watermain sections (2.4 km, 150–300 mm diameter) along with 13 hydrants, 24 valves, and 24 tees.
Avodahtec led all phases of the condition assessment and rehabilitation planning, coordinating NASSCO-based CCTV inspections, conducting risk-based evaluations, and recommending renewal options. Works on the sewer systems have been completed; planning is ongoing for the watermains.

Municipal underground infrastructure is inherently difficult to assess due to limited visibility and aging records. The Town required solutions that balanced multiple competing demands:
A comprehensive condition assessment across multiple asset classes — storm, sanitary, and watermain — with reliable data to prioritize rehabilitation investments, balancing cost, constructability, and long-term performance.
Ensuring minimal disruption to residents during inspection activities and future rehabilitation works, while meeting regulatory requirements and supporting defensible capital investment decisions for municipal council.
Avodahtec delivered a structured, multi-phase assessment and planning program:
Reviewed existing CCTV records, historical maintenance logs, and available asset data to establish baseline conditions.
A comprehensive condition assessment across multiple asset classes — storm, sanitary, and watermain — with reliable data to prioritize rehabilitation investments, balancing cost, constructability, and long-term performance.
Recommendations help avoid emergency repairs and costly open-cut construction where trenchless methods are feasible, delivering better value for the municipality.
Geotagged maps, NASSCO-based condition assessments, and technical reports allow the Town to make informed, defensible investment decisions with full transparency to council.
A phased, risk-based approach ensures rehabilitation work is efficient and causes minimal impact to Morinville residents throughout both inspection and construction phases.
A collaborative approach with ongoing communication and transparent documentation fostered trust and maintained alignment with municipal goals throughout the program.
