WATER AND WASTEWATER FEATURE: ISLengineering has won an award of excellence from ACECCanada for a new Alberta pumping station.
Peter CaulfieldCOURTESY TOWN OF DRAYTON VALLEY — ISL Engineering and Land Services of Edmonton won a 2022 Award of Excellence for project management from the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies for its work on a new raw water pumping station for the Town of Drayton Valley, Alta.
The station takes raw water from the North Saskatchewan River at nearby Rocky Rapids and pumps it up to the water treatment plant , which turns it into municipal drinking water. For the new plant to receive raw water, the old facility, along with high lift pumping and piping infrastructure, had to be modified.COURTESY TOWN OF DRAYTON VALLEY — In addition to prize-winning ISL, other key players in the project are Magna IV Engineering Inc. , Chandos/Bird Joint Venture , J.R. Paine & Associates Ltd. , Group2 Architecture and Interior Design , Superior Equipment Sales Inc. and Goulds Water Technology .
A new pumping station was needed because, first, it had become too expensive to continue to operate and maintain the old WTP to pump water. Live estimating sessions using market data helped set the project schedule and eliminate waste by providing only the implementation drawings the construction team needed.
“The pump station needed to be very robust because it has to lift a great volume of water over a long distance,” said Terry.The building site, on a flood plain, is adjacent to a steep hillside and a river, which limited the access of construction equipment.
