The Kaituna River Re-diversion and Maketū Estuary Enhancement Project was established to significantly increase the volume of freshwater flowing from the Kaituna River into Te Awa o Ngātoroirangi/Maketū Estuary and re-create 20ha of wetland.

The project sought to address the long-standing negative effects of the 1956 Kaituna Cut and associated works on the health of the estuary and the local community. Re-diverting the rivers flow would restore freshwater connections in the upper estuary, stop the process of sand infilling the lower estuary, and significantly improve the ecological health of the middle and upper estuary.

Along with the re-creation of 20ha of wetland and increased opportunities for public access, the project would help to make the estuary healthier for people to swim and fish in.

The tram network in Stockholm is undergoing a major expansion. Tramway City is expected to carry 63,000 passengers per day in 2030 and will supply the new Royal Seaport district with efficient and environmentally friendly public transport.

The project involved the replacement of a gaseous chlorine system with a liquid bulk hypochlorite system at the Coquitlam Water Treatment Plant (WTP), one of two treatment plants in the Metro Vancouver Region. A critical step in the water treatment process, the chlorine disinfection process was continuously operated throughout this conversion.

Upgrades at the Sainte-Angelique drinking water treatment plant in Saint-Lazare, Quebec, aimed to double water production capacity to 19 MLD without enlarging the plant building and staying within budget.
