Bonnybrook Wastewater Treatment Plant D Expansion
$655 million
BONNYBROOK WASTEWATER
Treatment Plant is the largest of three
wastewater treatment plants serving
Calgary and area. Originally built in
the 1930s, Bonnybrook is undergoing
its most substantial upgrade to date.
With an investment of more than $1
billion dollars over the span of 10
years, it is expected that Bonnybrook
will see its total treatment capacity
increase to nearly 1.4 million citizens
when completed in 2026.
At Plant D, the greatest number of
projects were completed and commissioned including the installation
of two new primary clarifiers and six
additional secondary clarifiers. This
project also entailed the construction
of three secondary treatment bioreactors and retrofits and upgrades to
existing solids handling digesters,
and the UV disinfection facility. Lastly,
as part of this Plant D upgrade, a new
bio-gas handling storage facility was
completed and commissioned. •

Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin Outlet
Channels Project • $600 million
IN 2011, southern Manitoba experienced
widespread flooding and Lake Manitoba
experienced excessively high inflows through the
Waterhen River, Whitemud River, and the Portage
Diversion. Construction of the Lake Manitoba and
Lake St. Martin Outlet Channels Project (Outlet
Channels Project) will enhance flood protection
to the surrounding area and help to strengthen
Manitoba’s existing network of flood mitigation
infrastructure. The $600-million flood protection
project consists of a 24.6-kilometre long channel
from Lake Manitoba and a 23.6-kilometre
channel from Lake St. Martin. The Lake Manitoba
outlet channel includes an inlet at Lake Manitoba
and outlet at Lake St. Martin, a new water control
structure with a bridge and three new bridge
crossings over the outlet channel. The Lake St.
Martin outlet channel includes an inlet at Lake
St. Martin and outlet at Lake Winnipeg, a new
water control structure with a bridge, as well as
the necessary Manitoba Hydro infrastructure to
power the control structure. •
