AECOM has been awarded a contract by the Regional District North Okanagan to provide engineering services for the construction of a new filtration facility at the Mission Hill Water Treatment Plant in British Columbia. In this role, AECOM will deliver detailed design and recommended site upgrades for the addition of filtration at the existing MHWTP to help improve water quality, increase access to clean drinking water, and bolster the resiliency of the plant for the Greater Vernon community year-round.Kalamalka Lake, the water source treated by the MHWTP, has previously been susceptible to water quality issues caused by turbidity events and seasonal algae, which are expected to increase with climate change. The project is comprised of a new water filtration system, a new building for labs and control rooms, and upgrades to waste stream handling, related piping and equipment, and control systems, which will lead to enhanced operations, reduced water quality risks, and improved redundancy in the system.AECOM’s scope is expected to include detailed design drawings, tendering, estimating, inspection monitoring, technology evaluation, contract administration, and delivering documents such as a startup commissioning plan, comprehensive facility operation and maintenance manual, and standard operating procedures.
