Dickerson Place

Dickerson Place

by | Jan 28, 2019 | Land Development, news, Wastewater Treatment

Dickerson Place is property located in Colwood, BC. MSR was contacted by the owners of the property to provide engineering consultation for the subdivision of their property into two separate lots. MSR will help with the investigation of and upgrades to the existing wastewater treatment system as well as provide a design for the new wastewater treatment system required for the new home. MSR is also coordinating with the City of Colwood for the subdivision process and the required servicing for each lots.

Matt Gable, the project designer and drafting designer, has gone out to site to investigate the property’s soil characteristics by conducting test pits and percolation tests. He has also determined the configuration and capacity of the existing wastewater system and appropriate upgrades that need to be implemented to the system. The City of Colwood issued the Preliminary Layout Assessment (PLA) for the subdivision. MSR Solutions has responded with our proposal for the civil works included in the lot frontage works. We are currently waiting on the review of our proposal by the City of Colwood.

Table and Haggen Camps

Table and Haggen Camps

by | Jan 24, 2019 | news, Wastewater Treatment

These two projects are located outside of Prince George, BC, down forest service roads. MSR Solutions was hired by Canfor and the installer, West Kootenay Septic Solutions (WKSS). We designed a wastewater treatment system to service a 50 person remote camp to act as a home base for the surrounding area to be logged. The camp facilities include: bathrooms, showers, laundry and kitchens.

Matt Gable, who was the project designer and drafting designer, went out to each respective site to investigate the camp areas. Test pits and percolation tests were conducted to determine the soil characteristics and a suitable location for the disposal field. Due to the remoteness of the camp, the client wanted the system to be simple to use with low maintenance requirements. To meet this request, a gravity fed Type 1 septic system was designed and installed to service the camp.

The client had plans to possibly increase the camp from 50 to 70 workers so MSR provided provisions for the system to be increased in capacity if need be.  The disposal field and septic tanks were designed so that it would be easy to expand the fields and add additional septic tanks. Areas for future equipment were also provided in the design and installation. Both systems have now been installed and Letter of Certifications have been submitted to the Health Authority for both camps.

MSR has a long history with Canfor and WKSS on many past and present projects because we have provided cost effective and robust systems that satisfies the client as well as the installers.  MSR has been pleased to have work both of them and will continue to work with them in the future projects to come.

Canfor Tumuch Camp Upgrades

Canfor Tumuch Camp Upgrades

This project is located outside of Prince George, BC near Tumuch Lake.  MSR Solutions was hired by Canfor and the installers, West Kootenay Septic Solutions (WKSS) in 2016. We were hired to design a wastewater treatment system to service a 35 person remote camp to act as a home base for the surrounding area to be logged.  The camp’s facilities include bathrooms, showers, laundry and kitchens.

Matt Gable, who was the project designer and drafting designer, went out to site to investigate the camp area. Test pits and percolation tests were conducted to determine the soil characteristics and a suitable location for the disposal field.  Due to the remoteness of the camp, the client wanted the system to be simple to use with low maintenance requirements. To meet this request, a gravity fed Type 1 septic system was designed and installed to service the camp.

In 2018, MSR was again brought on to upgrade the existing system to meet their new need for a 70 person camp. MSR provided additional treatment for the system and amended the filing to be sent to the Health Authority. The project has since then been completed with the system operating as designed.

MSR has a long history with Canfor and WKSS on many past and present projects because we have provided cost effective and robust systems that satisfies the client as well as the installers. MSR has been pleased to have work both of them and will continue to work with them in the future projects to come.
