Pic River Water Treatment Plant Replacement

pre-construction

The project will decommission the existing water treatment plant (WTP) and construct a new WTP in Biigtigong Nishnaabeg First Nation, Ontario. The work will involve constructing a WTP building, an infiltration gallery, a low lift station complete with wet well and low lift pump chamber, and a below-grade reservoir. In addition, a new conventional treatment system, programmable logic controller (PLC)/supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, high lift pumps, fire pumps and a new septic system will be installed along with necessary pipes and mechanical and electrical work. The project will address concerns with the supply of raw water; ensure reliable water delivery as the new WTP will have 100% redundancy; improve the ability to operate, control, and monitor the WTP, which will result in higher quality water; support better fire protection; and extend the life of the asset.
