Spadina Lift Station Replacement

This project consists of construction of a new sewage lift station to replace the existing station. The new station will require temporary shoring to allow for 14m deep excavation for new concrete foundations. The building itself will sit upon an approximate 4-storey basement that will house three 215hp pumps that will lift sewage from a wet well and up a new HDPE force-main that will tie into existing manholes and existing infrastructure. The above ground building consists of concrete columns and beams with masonry infill, brick veneer, and metal roof. This will house the mechanical, electrical and generator room. The station will have a capacity of 1650L/s with 50% redundancy.

Graham and its joint venture partner have been awarded the $273M construction contract for the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant Renewal Project by the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation. This award follows the joint venture’s successful completion of Phase I early contractor involvement, which included engineering, constructability and pre-construction services for the same project.

The scope of work for the Graham joint venture includes demolition, earthworks, structural fabrication, electrical and instrumentation work, and the construction of concrete foundations and commercial buildings to deliver both new and retrofitted infrastructure. The upgrades will modernize technology and increase the capacity of the facility.

Situated near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant provides potable water to over 260,000 residents located in the cities of Regina, Moose Jaw and surrounding areas. The rejuvenated plant will be able to meet the forecasted demands of the regional requirements for potable water for decades.

This is the first Progressive Design Build water project in Canada and these upgrades should prevent any further work on the facility for at least 25 years.
