We were retained to design a water treatment plant and wastewater treatment plant co-housed in a single treatment building and obtained approval from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC). Wastewater works include screening, equalization, chemical nutrient removal and flat plate membranes from WesTech Engineering. Discharge is to rapid infiltration basins and subsurface drip irrigation. We provided construction oversight and commissioning support.
An ongoing project to upgrade the capacity of the water system in Port Renfrew, BC to allow for continued growth within the community.
The first phase of the Port Renfrew project involved upgrading the well pump, booster pumps and the associated piping and controls in order to increase the water supply available to the town. The second phase will involve upgrades to the town’s storage capacity by adding a second reservoir, providing increased water supply for fire protection and emergency storage.
This project provided a rainwater harvesting system to meet the potable water needs of the Prince Rupert Airport.
The airport had identified the need to improve upon its current water supply from a lake intake, but alternative water sources were limited due to the airport being located on a small island. MSR Solutions conducted a source analysis and determined the optimal solution for that particular site is rainwater harvesting, with retention of the existing lake source as an emergency backup.
MSR Solutions designed the system for storage, treatment and conveyance of the rainwater as well as an improved treatment process for the lake water source, and obtained a permit through the health authority. Construction of the system is now complete. It is currently in the commissioning stage.
A unique aspect of this project is the use of rainwater harvesting within a larger commercial context, in contrast to typical rainwater systems which service single households.
