This award follows the joint venture’s successful completion of Phase I early contractor involvement, which included engineering, constructability and pre-construction services for the same project.

The scope of work for the Graham joint venture includes demolition, earthworks, structural fabrication, electrical and instrumentation work, and the construction of concrete foundations and commercial buildings to deliver both new and retrofitted infrastructure. The upgrades will modernize technology and increase the capacity of the facility.

Situated near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant provides potable water to over 260,000 residents located in the cities of Regina, Moose Jaw and surrounding areas. The rejuvenated plant will be able to meet the forecasted demands of the regional requirements for potable water for decades.

This is the first Progressive Design Build water project in Canada and these upgrades should prevent any further work on the facility for at least 25 years.
