This fast track project required critical dead lines be met. An interior berm within the 215,000 sq. foot existing reservoir was removed and replaced with a vertical Shotcrete wall supported by 40,000 Ft of soil anchors.

Other elements of the project include a 65” diameter emergency drain down pipe from the centre of the reservoir to an outflow chamber.

As well, a reinforced structural Shotcrete slab/beam integrating the floor and perimeter wall over an old rock quarry was required to transfer seismic loads and prevent water intrusion.

SWC met all the milestones despite site congestion and very difficult drilling conditions through fill materials.
