Cove Bay Water Treatment Plant and Reservoir
Bowen Island, British Columbia
This project involved the greenfield construction of a new water treatment plant and reservoir. A 3,000 m3 excavation was required to accommodate the building and 2,000 m3 reservoir. A 5,000 sq. ft. building will house the CUF water treatment technology. Extensive yard piping, process mechanical, electrical and structural concrete was used on this project.
Challenges
- Involved significant collaboration with the design team to bring both the performance of the treatment plant and budgetary restrictions of the client together.
- Construction on an island involves logistic challenges specifically in the coordination and lifting of major deliverables.
- The schedule was accelerated due to major equipment delivery delays during COVID-19.
Additional Scope Items
- Concrete foundations.
- Process mechanical.
- 2,000 m3 bolted steel reservoir.
- Wood frame building construction using prefabricated wall panels.
- Treatment equipment installation and commissioning.
- Yard piping (large diameter DI 14”).
- Tie ins to existing water system.
- Disinfection and bac T testing of piping and reservoir.
- Electrical and instrumentation.
