Thornbury Wastewater Treatment Plant Roof and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Replacement

completed

The objective of this project is to replace the rooves of the Thornbury Waste Water Treatment Plant’s Administration Building, Inlet Building and Ultra Violet Irradiation Building as well as the replacement of the Administration Building’s Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit that has reached the end of its useful life. The scope of work is to engage a consulting engineer to complete the detailed design and associated tendering and construction administration tasks culminating in the selection of a contractor and the removal of the existing rooves and installation of the new rooves and the replacement of the HVAC System. The integrity of the operational systems to treat wastewater depends on the soundness of the building facility within it operates. The building envelope, of which the roof is a critical component, protects the treatment equipment from outside elements and is critical to the reliability of equipment. Without a functioning roof in place, water intrusion will lead to electrical failures and corrosion that will dis-able equipment and threaten the plant’s ability to treat water. Without a sound building housing the equipment, including a sound roof, the treatment plant will be ineffectual.
