New station was installed on a compressed construction site along with new valve chamber and yard piping as well as 1.5 kilometers of 450 diameter forcemain along Dundas Street in Belleville, which included horizontal rock drilling under Sydney Street.

All civil, mechanical, and electrical work was self-performed.
