By GlobalDataThe scope of this project covers the design of a new sewer between current manholes at the intersections of North Road and Rathburn Drive, Government Street and Cariboo Road; assessment and commissioning of air ventilation and odour control; and evaluation of the present sewer’s lifespan and integrity.
AECOM Water CEO Beverley Stinson said: “We are proud to partner with Metro Vancouver leveraging our industry-leading water capabilities to deliver this important project.
“Built on a foundation of local talent enhanced by a vast global knowledge network, we look forward to developing resilient and cost-effective design solutions for the Stoney Creek Trunk Sewer that best meet their performance requirements.”
Built in 1959, the Stoney Creek Trunk Sewer has become inadequate as a result of significant regional expansion and increasing groundwater infiltration caused by ageing infrastructure.
Furthermore, the current sewer is located in an environmentally sensitive location and has been experiencing ongoing operational issues.
The new sewage pipeline will address these issues and is projected to have a service life of more than 100 years.
