Project Update

Value Engineering Studies

The follow-up studies from the Value Engineering Study are complete. The project is moving forward with the option to decommission and repurpose the Trickling Filter system.

Project Delivery

The project will be completed using a modern, collaborative project delivery method called Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). The IPD method is used throughout North America for complex infrastructure and institutional projects. In this model, the project owner (RDN), engineer and contractor work together through the design and construction, with each party sharing in the risk and reward of the project. IPD has proven to successfully deliver projects on-time, on-budget and without disputes.

The first step in IPD, called Validation, will perform enough of the design to determine the project cost to a high degree of certainty. Detailed design follows Validation with an eye to generate information to allow the contractor to begin construction before design is complete.

The odour control system for the existing Dewatering Building will be fast-tracked and will be done ahead of the main project.
