Wastewater Collection & Treatment

The Municipality of Saint-Isidore initiated an upgrade to its wastewater treatment facility to replace aging infrastructure and comply with updated environmental standards. The modernization involved the construction of new reinforced concrete structures, including a degritter building, a concrete treatment pond, and a pumping station.

On September 1, 2024, the County of Prince Edward completed the construction of a new wastewater pump station in Picton, Ontario. This critical infrastructure project was designed to enhance the municipality's wastewater collection and treatment capabilities. Located near Lake Ontario, the project presented unique waterproofing challenges that demanded innovative solutions. 

The construction of a new potable water reservoir aimed to enhance water storage infrastructure with an emphasis on durability and reliability. A key challenge was ensuring that the reservoir’s watertightness and long-term durability would protect the potable water supply from contamination and leakage while withstanding constant water pressure and environmental stresses.

The construction of a new wastewater treatment facility in Saint-Philippe presented a significant challenge in ensuring the long-term durability and watertightness of the wet well. The structure is constantly exposed to harsh wastewater conditions, including chemical attack and continuous moisture, making long-term durability and watertightness critical for operational performance. The public estimate for this project was $36.2 million.

The Municipalité de Saint-Maurice undertook the expansion of its potable water reservoir system, constructing two new reservoir units for water treatment and distribution. A key design requirement for this project was to avoid the use of traditional membranes, which are prone to degradation, detachment, and long-term maintenance issues in water containment structures.
