The Waterdown to Finch Project is proactively replacing approximately 63 kilometres of Imperial's Sarnia Products Pipeline between Hamilton and Toronto, which includes a 17.86 kilometre section largely within the Imperial’s existing right-of-way and/or hydro corridor in Toronto.

Location
| Open Cut | Digging a trench, lowering the pipeline into the trench, and covering it for protection. |
| HDD | Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) of a hole between 250 and 3,500 metres in length, between 15 and 60 metres in depth, and pulling the pipe back through the hole. |
| Bore | Similar to HDD, but much shorter lengths and shallower depths, mainly under roadways. |

Construction impacts
Imperial remains committed to reducing local impacts and disruptions throughout construction, including minimizing traffic and noise.
To accommodate safe construction activities some facilities will be temporarily closed during the 2021 season and are listed under closures. Imperial does not anticipate any impacts to TTC stations or services during the construction period.
Some vegetation and tree removal has been required to accommodate safe construction activities, mainly limited to private land and/or within the hydro corridor. After construction, all impacted areas will follow a reclamation and remediation plan, helping to return areas as closely to pre-construction condition as possible.
