Caraquet - Landry Street Lagoon Rehabilitation

in progress

This project consists of upgrading the Landry Street lagoon in Caraquet, New Brunswick. A comprehensive assessment of the existing lagoon determined that it has considerable leaks and is need of repair. The scope of the work includes reducing the size of the lagoon from 3.7 hectares to 2.0 hectares, but increasing the depth from 2 metres to 3 metres. Rehabilitation work will involve repairing the dikes, adding synthetic membrane to seal the lagoon, and installing new control structures. In addition, a new building will be constructed to contain a two blower aeration system and a fine bubble diffuser air distribution system. This project aims to ensure the community of Caraquet has an increased capacity to treat and manage it’s wastewater in an environmentally sustainable manner.
