WSP in Canada to Help Deliver Barrie Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrade

WSP in Canada is a member of the consortium that has secured the contract for the Barrie Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrade. This represents the largest wastewater contract in Ontario, to date, to adopt the Integrated Project Delivery procurement model.

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a form of contracting that promotes collaboration through shared responsibility for all elements of a project’s execution. Team members work together to solve issues and manage risks, leading to a project delivery process that promotes information sharing and creating efficiency to deliver maximum value for the clients and the communities they serve.

The upgrade of the Barrie Wastewater Treatment Facility includes:

• Advanced Nutrient Removal Solution for existing plant
• Plan for the expansion to 96 Megalitres per day,
• Development of a Peak Flow Attenuation Facility;
• Expansion of the digester capacity;
• Creation of a new Hydro Substation; and
• Additional critical plant upgrades.

Under the IPD model for the project, WSP in Canada and Stantec will work together to deliver the design and engineering services for the project.

The project is expected to take eight years to complete.
