AECOM Canada Ltd.’s work on Surrey’s Bridgeview Sewer Replacement Project earned them an Award of Excellence at the annual Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – British Columbia’s Awards for Engineering Excellence.
In 1970, a vacuum sewer system with high maintenance costs and restricted capacity was installed in Bridgeview.
Recently, AECOM designed a solution that offered a mix of practicality, potential for phasing and economic viability. AECOM developed a replacement strategy that combined conventional sewer installation with GPS-based trenchless technology in a manner that had not been used for municipal sewer servicing in British Columbia.
The new two-storey Bridgeview Pump Station (which could be mistaken for a neighbourhood home thanks to its design) allows all the electrical, controls and generator equipment to be located above the Fraser River’s 200-year flood level on the second floor.
The new sewer service saves the city $1 million per year.
