This project involves the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant for the 800-person Sechelt Indian Government District community on the Sunshine coast region of BC. The new plant includes earthworks, yard piping, an upflow sludge blanket filter (USBF) treatment system complete with several underground concrete tanks, an odour control system, a new greenhouse, and corresponding electrical and instrumentation works. In addition, the plant is designed to achieve a 10/10 provincial discharge standard exceeding the federal standards for a surface water discharge using a tertiary treatment system and UV disinfection. A centrifuge system is designed to dewater sludge on site to minimize trucking costs for offsite disposal of solids.
Project also includes the removal and disposal of the existing rotating biological contactor (RBC) wastewater treatment unit.
