Kanata West Pump Station and Forcemains
Heavy Civil Infrastructure
The new Kanata West Pump Station and Forcemains project allows for the continued growth and development in the Kanata West area, as well as intercept drainage from the existing areas north of Hazeldean Road. The project involved the construction of a 275m long new inlet gravity sewer on Maple Grove Road, a new 660L/s sanitary pump station and control building, construction of twin 3.9km long forcemains, and a 135m outlet sewer.
This complex project had several moving parts, so careful coordination and detailed planning was key to its success. A major component was the requirement to maintain existing flows when connecting the new inlet gravity sewer to the existing sewer and the coordination of pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area while the work was being completed. Testing and commissioning plans were carefully developed in conjunction with the project schedule, allowing sufficient time for equipment start up and testing. Doran’s organization and dedication during the commissioning phase resulted in a very smooth turnover to City of Ottawa Operations.
