Stantec awarded engineering during construction and commissioning of Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant renewal project
23 Juni 2022 - 12:45PM
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, has
been awarded the engineering during construction, and commissioning
portions of the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant Renewal Project
(BPWTP) in Saskatchewan, as part of the Graham-Aecon Joint Venture.
Together with its partners Graham, Aecon, and Associated
Engineering (AE), Stantec led the engineering design of the $273
million comprehensive upgrade to the BPWTP, using the progressive
design-build delivery model. This is the first time this delivery
model has been employed in Canada for water infrastructure.
The project is owned by the Buffalo Pound Water
Treatment Plant Corporation (BPWTP Corporation) and is now
proceeding with construction. It will deliver an upgraded water
treatment plant for the 260,000 customers in the cities of Moose
Jaw and Regina, plus users of SaskWater and Buffalo Pound
Provincial Park. The BPWTP is located approximately 30 kilometers
northeast of the City of Moose Jaw. Commissioned in 1955, the plant
has undergone three major capacity and process improvements since
its original construction, with the last capacity increase
completed in 1989. The plant’s infrastructure elements are nearing
the end of their operational life-cycle and this renewal project
will help tackle climate-related raw water conditions, evolving
regulatory requirements, help prevent loss of water supply, and
address dated water treatment technologies, all to simplify
operations and increase capacity to meet future demands.
Stantec will be involved in construction
inspections as well as start-up and commissioning activities. A key
component of the project’s overall engineering design was to reuse
much of the existing infrastructure, reducing construction cost and
minimizing the construction of a new building footprint.
“We’re incredibly proud of our design team and
partners for their work on this project,” says Gillian Edwards,
Stantec’s design manager for the BPWTP renewal. “This is a live
operating plant that can’t experience long shutdown periods. Our
design team has been working closely with our construction partners
and the BPWTP Corporation to sequence construction and
commissioning activities. This way we can ensure physical upgrades
are completed with minimal impact to current water production.”
“We are very excited to transition into this new
phase of our Plant Renewal Project and to continue working with
Stantec and the Graham-Aecon Joint Venture to ensure a successful
outcome,” says Ryan Johnson, president and CEO of Buffalo Pound
Water Treatment Plant Corporation.
Stantec has completed an Issued for Construction
(IFC) package for the Plant Renewal that includes updated treatment
processes to address regulatory requirements into the future.
Stantec’s work on the first phase included design and regulatory
approval support. Stantec’s architects also collaborated with water
treatment plant engineers to design a new administrative building
for BPWTP Corporation staff. This building will connect the plant’s
operations, maintenance, and management groups, improving team
cohesiveness.
The project is expected to be complete in
2025.
The Stantec-Graham-Aecon-AE partnership has
delivered more than 30 alternative delivery projects together,
valued at over $2 billion combined. Approximately two-thirds of the
Western Canadian population drinks water from treatment plants
delivered by this group of consultants, who have completed projects
in Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Vancouver. Other key
projects completed by this team of partners includes the Regina
Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade in Saskatchewan and the
Bonnybrook Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Program in
Calgary.
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. Learn more at stantec.com/water.
