This project involved the new construction of a flood mitigation pump station in the Hammersley Dyke on the Fraser River. A massive concrete inlet structure housed two 9-foot (2.7 metre) diameter water turbines to draw freshet water from one side of the dyke and pump it directly into the Fraser River.

Challenges

• River and stream cofferdams were a challenge to install and maintain during run-off periods.
• Dike water levels and permits were challenging with many environmental and utilities involved.
