A gravel bar occupying one-third the width of the Bow River downstream of the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary was increasing upstream water levels. The City of Calgary, WSP and their subconsultants, Tannas Conservation Services and
Greg Courtice, collaborated to provide engineering design, regulatory support and construction management services for the removal of gravel bar materials and reshaping to create a fish habitat. Novel turbidity monitoring methods were incorporated into the construction plan, allowing in-stream work to be completed without isolation measures, while maintaining compliance with suspended sediment limits. Hydrocarbon contamination and historical artifacts encountered during excavation presented additional challenges.

The Confederation Way Sanitary Sewer Phase 2 project provides
a robust sanitary sewer trunk for the Timberlea Neighborhood in Fort McMurray. This project traversed unstable slopes, crossed several pipelines, shallow utilities, two interchanges and passed through the built-up neighbourhood of Timberlea and a busy WWTP. Using trenchless technology, horizontal directional drilling, microtunnelling, and pilot tube auger boring minimized impact on the environment, and the public.
The Confederation Way Sanitary Sewer Phase 2 project demonstrates the benefits of integrated project delivery with proactive and open stakeholder engagement to implement infrastructure that benefits the community.
