PROJECT: MUNICIPAL SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
LOCATION: Port Alice, B.C.
OWNER: Village of Port Alice
DESCRIPTION: The limited funding available to construct a 900 m3/d sewage treatment plant led to a non conventional approach. Following process design, NovaTec prepared a detailed turnkey contract document outlining the scope of work, components and size of key treatment units which incorporated rotary fine screen, flow equalization, biological treatment, circular secondary clarifier, aerated sludge digester and control building. Turnkey bids were obtained from selected contractor / equipment vendor alliances. Negotiations were held with bidders to clarify and adjust bids and scope to ensure that the available budget would not be exceeded. The works were completed within budget.
ROLE: Specialist subconsultant, process design, turnkey contractor selection, shop drawing review, inspection services.
