Beaudet Réservoir,
Victoriaville, PQ • $50 million
2024 Rank: 35
Location: Victoriaville, Que.
Owner: City of Victoriaville
Substantial Completion: 2025
THE PROJECT involves creating a 110,000-cubic-metre raw water
reserve, separate from the Beaudet reservoir. Water is pumped
from the reservoir into this new reserve, which supplies the Hamel
drinking water plant. When the water quality in the Beaudet reservoir declines, the supply is halted, allowing the plant to draw from
the reserve until reservoir conditions improve.
The project also includes building permanent infrastructure to
enable annual sediment dredging. A booster station was constructed to transport the water and sediment mixture through a discharge
line to a new sediment dewatering plant. This plant features a
mechanized treatment system that separates sediment from water.
The dried sediments are then trucked to an on-site storage area
built as part of the project. Construction was completed in 2023,
with commissioning scheduled to continue through 2025. •

Newcastle Water Supply Plant
$50 million
THE NEWCASTLE Water Supply Plant and Port of Newcastle Sewage Pumping
Station involves the construction of a new water supply and treatment facility with
a rated capacity of 16,400m3/day (3.6 MIGD).
The new water supply plant will be a multi-level structure with underground
water storage facilities (raw water well, backwash equalization tank and clearwells) and basement area, and the above ground levels housing water treatment
process equipment including chemical, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, instrumentation and controls, and administration facilities. The project also includes
replacement of the existing pumping station for the water supply plant.
The new sewage pumping station consists of an underground wet well and an
above ground control building with electrical and mechanical control equipment.
