Project Details
We will be replacing portions of the existing fence around the Meadowlark Substation, located at 15404-84 Avenue. See map on the right.
Why is the fence being replaced?
By adding additional safeguards to the existing substation we can enhance the safety and security of critical electricity infrastructure and continue to provide you with safe and reliable power service.
Electricity infrastructure is potentially hazardous, and the proposed new wall is an additional safety measure for residents in the area.
What will the new wall look like?
The new wall portions will be made out of concrete with a ledgestone finish. To enhance the aesthetics of the new wall and to incorporate the look of the community, the ledgestone finish will be similar in colour to other buildings in the area. The picture below is a sample of what the wall colour may look like.
The new wall sections will be in approximately the same location as the existing fence, as shown on the map. The new wall sections will be 10 feet high and the sections of the fence that we are not replacing will remain chain link.

What to Expect During Construction
Visual
You can expect to see activity that is typical to construction, including company/ contractor vehicles and equipment in your neighbourhood. Some typical construction activities that you may see include:
Construction Noise
Work on the fence will create typical noise associated with construction. We will take measures to ensure we comply with the City of Edmonton’s Community Standards Bylaw for Noise Control. If it’s necessary to temporarily exceed acceptable noise levels, we will work with the City of Edmonton to receive necessary permits.
Hours of Operation
We anticipate our hours of work for this project to be Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., however occasional overtime may be required.
Road Closures
No public road closures are expected.
Power Supply
We do not anticipate any power service interruptions from this proposed work. You will continue to receive safe and reliable electricity.
Work Space
All work areas will be safe and secure. All construction activities will be in accordance with the City of Edmonton bylaws, Occupational Health and Safety requirements as well as EPCOR’s strict health, safety and environmental procedures and guidelines.
