The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) has selected Stantec,
a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, to help
deliver the US$125 million Stage II Reliability Upgrades Project to
support long-term sustainable and resilient water access for the
Las Vegas Valley.
“We’re incredibly excited to support SNWA on this critical water
reliability project,” said Margaret Regan, Stantec’s project
manager, based in Las Vegas. “Drought impacts have only increased
the need for a reliable and sustainable water source. We look
forward to helping the Las Vegas Valley have a safe and sustainable
water delivery system for decades to come.”
The water supply of many major urban areas in the United States
is at risk due to aging infrastructure, water scarcity, a lack of
resiliency to extreme weather events, and insufficient system
capacity. In August of 2021, federal officials issued Lake Mead’s
first-ever water shortage declaration. Two decades of drought have
significantly reduced Lake Mead’s water level, increasing the need
to build systems that support sustainable, resilient, and redundant
water distribution and meet the Las Vegas region’s current and
future needs.
Project at a glance
The Hacienda Pumping Station is one of the Valley’s water supply
conduits, meeting about 35% of the area’s water demand, equivalent
to 180 million gallons per day (MGD). In service since 1980, the
pumping station requires system upgrades and replacements to
protect against aging, provide reliability, and prevent water
loss.
Stantec’s role on the Stage II Reliability Upgrades Project will
include the design of the new Flamingo Pumping Station and the
design of approximately two miles of interconnecting pipeline from
the station to the Pittman Lateral, which conveys water to the
central Las Vegas Valley.
Delivering the new 90 MGD Flamingo Pumping Station will serve
two primary functions: to provide backup to the existing Hacienda
Pumping Station (which has served the area for decades) in the
event it is out of service and to supplement the capacity of
Hacienda during periods of very high demand. Future projects will
include rehabilitating portions of the Pittman Lateral and
localized improvements to enhance the water system’s reliability
along this central corridor.
Addressing long-term, regional needs
The project is part of SNWA’s Major Construction and Capital
Plan (MCCP) to help identify and deliver additional water
resources, major system repairs and replacements, and water quality
enhancements across the Las Vegas Valley. The 2020 MCCP includes 22
projects totaling an estimated US$3.17 billion.
Stantec’s preliminary design for the Stage II Reliability
Upgrades Project is expected to be complete in February of
2022.
The Stage II Reliability Upgrades Project is one of several
conveyance projects Stantec is helping to deliver in support of
increasing resiliency and capacity, while keeping a keen eye on
environmental impacts. In Vancouver, Stantec is leading the design,
construction, and commissioning of the Coquitlam No. 4 Pipeline to
provide additional transmission capacity to meet the increasing
demand for water. Similarly, in Illinois, the Alternative Water
Supply Program will generate sustainable water quantity through a
guaranteed fair and equitable water cost using a new Lake Michigan
water source for the City of Joliet. The firm is also spearheading
professional engineering and support services for the Tampa Bay
Water Southern Hillsborough County Supply Expansion Pipelines to
reliably provide clean, safe water to the Tampa Bay region now and
for future generations.
By viewing all aspects of water as an integrated system, Stantec
is helping to confront global water challenges and accelerate the
pathway to a more sustainable, reliable, and affordable future that
provides improved water, energy, and infrastructure solutions.
