New sewer pipeline will address sewerage and drainage needs
for the Metro Vancouver region
AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that it has been selected by Metro Vancouver
to provide engineering services for the design and construction of
the Stoney Creek Trunk Sewer Upgrade project. In this role, AECOM
will help to replace the trunk sewer to accommodate the current and
future demands for the cities of Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Port
Moody. Once complete, the new sewer pipeline will address existing
capacity and odor issues while adhering to the latest standards of
quality and sustainability.
"The Stoney Creek Trunk Sewer Upgrade project is a critical
initiative that will deliver positive impacts for local
communities," said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s
Canada region. "We are excited to bring together the best of our
wastewater conveyance expertise to address existing sewerage and
drainage challenges and support the needs of the Metro Vancouver
region for years to come."
AECOM will provide comprehensive engineering services that cover
civil, structural, geotechnical, environmental, hydro-technical,
and traffic planning aspects of the design. Its scope of work
includes the design of a new sewer between existing manholes at the
intersections of North Road and Rathburn Drive, Government Street
and Cariboo Road, assessment and implementation of air ventilation
and odor control, and assessment of the remaining life and
integrity of the existing sewer. The local team of design leads,
advisors, environmental professionals, and junior staff will be
supplemented by expert knowledge in trenchless technologies,
hydraulics, and condition assessment from across AECOM.
“We are proud to partner with Metro Vancouver leveraging our
industry-leading water capabilities to deliver this important
project,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global
Water business. “Built on a foundation of local talent enhanced by
a vast global knowledge network, we look forward to developing
resilient and cost-effective design solutions for the Stoney Creek
Trunk Sewer that best meet their performance requirements.”
The Stoney Creek Trunk Sewer, originally installed in 1959, has
become undersized due to substantial regional growth and increased
groundwater infiltration due to aging infrastructure. The existing
sewer is situated in an environmentally sensitive area and has had
operational challenges, further intensified by its location at the
bottom of a steep ravine and several direct home service
connections. The new sewer pipeline will mitigate these challenges
and is expected to contribute to operationally safe, efficient and
reliable infrastructure that will be designed for a service life of
100 or more years.
