Pump Station Upgrade - Construction Update
The Pump Station, located on the corner of Sturgeon Road and Sir Winston Churchill Avenue, is being upgraded with the construction of a new pump station and the decommissioning of one of the existing stations. This upgrade will address current deficiencies and will provide capacity for future growth. Service will not be disrupted by the upgrades.
Construction Update - October - December 2011
The external underground structure of the pump station was completed in June. Work has moved on to
the construction of the internal wall and floors. It is anticipated that the underground structure will be
complete by early December at which time work will commence on the above ground structure.
The October to December period will also include construction of the new sewers and forcemains that will
be used to deliver wastewater to and from the new pump station.
Construction of the pump station from June - July (roll over the images to view larger images).

October 2011: Construction of the 2nd
intermediate floor.
Construction Update - April - June 2011
The second quarter of 2011 will
see continued construction of the underground structure for the new pump
station. This period is also expected to include the installation of
drilled pile foundations for a separate facilities building that will
house backup power generators for the new pump station.
The images below show some of the construction progress during the first quarter of 2011.
1. Concrete is poured to form a section of the structure
2. Formwork is removed after the concrete has set.

Construction Update - December 2010
The Alberta Capital Region Wastewater Commission’s St. Albert Pump Station located on the corner of Sturgeon Road and Sir Winston Churchill Avenue is being upgraded with the construction of a new pump station and the decommissioning of one of the existing stations. The new pump station will address current deficiencies and provide capacity for future growth. Construction of the project began in October 2010 and is expected to be completed in August 2012.
Work Completed to Date
During the past 3 months (October to December 2010), construction work included erecting a temporary construction fence to secure the area, along with clearing topsoil and establishing environmental protection measures to prevent the work from impacting the surrounding areas.
Construction of a new underground structure, that will house much of the future wastewater pumping infrastructure, also began during this period. This structure will be constructed in stages and the photographs below show preparations for the construction of the first stage

Projected Construction Activity January to March 2011
This period will see the continuation of the construction of the underground pump station structure. Completion of this structure is expected to be completed in April 2011.
Construction activities that may impact adjacent areas include deliveries of large volumes of steel and concrete, as well as removal of soils. It is expected that the deliveries will take place during normal permitted working hours. Any exception to this will include prior notification to residents immediately adjacent to the site.
Construction Update - October 2010
The Alberta Capital Region Wastewater Commission’s St. Albert Pump Station located on the corner of Sturgeon Road and Sir Winston Churchill Avenue is being upgraded with the construction of a new pump station and the decommissioning of one of the existing stations. This upgrade will address current deficiencies and will provide capacity for future growth. Service will not be disrupted by the upgrades. ISL Engineering and Land Services is overseeing the construction.
Construction is scheduled to take place from October 2010 to summer of 2012. During construction the access between the Sturgeon Road/Sir Winston Churchill Avenue intersection and the main Red Willow Park multi-use trail will be closed. The main multi-use trail along the Sturgeon River will remain in service and can be accessed at either Kingswood Drive & Sir Winston Churchill Avenue or at Woodlands Road & Sturgeon Road (see maps below).
