Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and
engineering, has been selected to lead design services on Phase IV
of the Boston Water and Sewer Commission’s (BWSC) East Boston Sewer
Separation project. The project is part of a comprehensive 30-year
initiative to reduce pollutants discharged to Boston Harbor and its
tributary waters and to modernize water infrastructure in the
rapidly developing neighborhood.
Historic cities like Boston face a unique challenge in
effectively managing stormwater as many older systems feature
combined sewers that carry both stormwater and sewage. During heavy
rainfall, these systems are prone to being overloaded and are
designed to release excess flows into local bodies of water. To
better manage overflows and protect water quality - particularly as
rainfall events are becoming more frequent and more intense - the
Massachusetts Water Resources Authority is implementing a Combined
Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Program that involves modernizing this
infrastructure with the latest technology. East Boston is among the
communities at the center of this effort.
“In collaboration with the Massachusetts Water Resources
Authority as part of its CSO Control Program, the East Boston Sewer
Separation project represents a critical step toward improving
water quality in Boston Harbor,” said John Sullivan, BWSC chief
engineer.
The work will enhance water, sewer, and storm drainage
infrastructure which is vital in supporting the ongoing growth and
prosperity of the East Boston community. Phase IV of the project
involves separating approximately 230 acres of combined sewer area,
along with installing new storm drains, updating existing sewers,
replacing adjacent aging water mains, and modifying existing
regulator structures. As lead designer, the Stantec team will
complete conceptual designs, hydraulic modeling, master planning,
and final design documents, including pre-construction
services.
“Water infrastructure plays a crucial role in a city like
Boston, where factors such as climate change, population growth,
and new development only further stress existing resources,” said
Mike Carroll, Stantec Project Manager. “We’re proud to continue a
decades-long relationship with the BWSC to improve the historic and
essential waterways while helping modernize this infrastructure
across several neighborhoods to support residents and businesses
into the future.”
A decades-long commitment to Boston’s water
infrastructure
Stantec has partnered with the BWSC for more than 30 years,
collaborating to complete some of Boston's most complex and
demanding sewer separation and infrastructure improvement projects.
Stantec has supported the BWSC with planning, design, and
construction phase services on more than 40 contracts with a
combined value of US$420 million. The scope of these projects
includes installing 51 miles of water main piping, 29 miles of new
sanitary sewer, and 41 miles of new storm drain.
Most recently, the team completed work on Phase III of the East
Boston Sewer Separation project where planning and design services
were completed in accordance with a fast-track schedule. Using the
Commission’s hydrologic/hydraulic model, Stantec prepared plans for
the installation of 9,000 feet of new water main, 4,000 feet of new
sewer, and 7,300 feet of new storm drain. The project also involved
the rehabilitation of 2,300 feet of existing wastewater piping and
the modification of three regulator manholes to improve hydraulic
performance and reduce overflows.
A sustainable water future is complex and dynamic. By viewing
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
