Wastewater Collection & Treatment
Protecting Critical Wastewater Infrastructure
Sewage conveyance and wastewater collection rank among the most important public health responsibilities in every community. Two common issues with this critical infrastructure are microbial induced corrosion and the infiltration/exfiltration of liquids. Left untreated, these environmental issues lead to rapid deterioration of sanitary systems and failures that are costly to repair and disruptive to everyday life.

Plateau Potable Water Reservoir Vaudreuil-Dorion
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.
Saint-Philippe New Wastewater Treatment Plant
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.
Saint-Maurice Potable Water Reservoir Expansion
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.
8th Ave Reservoir Improvements
Initially built in 1889, the 8th Avenue Reservoir is the largest and oldest of the city's 37 reservoirs, supplying clean drinking water. Bowen Engineering chose Xypex Admix C-500 NF for its proven, durable, long-lasting waterproofing performance as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation project, including tank-in-a-tank construction, vault improvements, and overall reservoir upgrades.
Persigo WTP Expansion
The City of Grand Junction, in partnership with Mesa County, has initiated Phase 1 of the Persigo Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion—an important step in enhancing water quality, safety, and environmental sustainability. This upgrade introduces new screening processes, advanced electrical systems, expanded biosolids storage, and improved aeration and disinfection systems, modernizing the facility to meet growing community needs.
