Tunnelling for Ottawa’s light-rail transit project hit a bump Wednesday night in the form of a parking garage wall.

Two rock bolts being used during the excavation process penetrated the parking garage wall of the Sun Life building on the corner of Queen and O’Connor streets downtown, a few blocks from Parliament Hill.

Details of how much of a hole were made by the long bolts, which are typically used to stabilize things such as walls, were not immediately provided by Rideau Transit Group, which is in charge of the city’s biggest infrastructure project.

“There are no risks to the integrity of building’s foundation and there was no other property damage,” said Gary Craig, acting director, rail implementation office, in a statement to the Citizen.

“RTG staff are working on a revised methodology to install the rock bolts to ensure there is no re-occurrence.”

He said city staff were working with the property’s owners — Bentall Kennedy — to ensure all necessary repairs get done. Those repairs will be paid for by RTG, Craig said.

A security guard at the building and a staff member at the YMCA located in its basement both said they didn’t feel anything unusual.
