We along with our project partner, Associated Engineering, won an Alberta Emerald Award for environmental leadership related to innovative upgrades to the E.L. Smith water treatment plant.
The design protects the environment while significantly increasing the Edmonton capital region's supply of clean drinking water over the long-term.
By reusing existing infrastructure that may have otherwise been decommissioned, the upgrades increased the plant's water production capacity by 150% while increasing the plant's footprint by only 25%.
The design also included an award-winning environmentally-friendly water disinfection system and the construction of a water intake system that diverts and returns fish safely downstream of the plant, and as a result, is preserving aquatic life in the North Saskatchewan River.
