We are delivering a critical valve upgrade at the Anger Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant — essential biosolids handling infrastructure that supports the Region’s wastewater operations and environmental compliance. The project replaces aging feed and withdraw valves with modern, reliable systems housed in two new dedicated valve chambers, while the entire plant remains fully operational.
This is a true live-plant project with strict schedule constraints and zero tolerance for unplanned downtime. Every shutdown, tank isolation, and tie-in is meticulously planned and coordinated with Niagara Region operations staff. We provide 10 business days advance notice for all required involvement, submit detailed shutdown plans four weeks ahead, and maintain continuous monitoring of temporary systems. Work is sequenced to minimize disruption, with liquidated damages of $1,500 per day underscoring the importance of staying on schedule. Night and weekend work is used when necessary to meet operational windows, ensuring biosolids processing and plant performance are never compromised.
Scope of Work Highlights
- Construction of two new valve chambers with all associated piping, couplings, and valves
- Isolation, cleaning, and partial sludge removal from biosolids storage tanks to enable safe inspection
- Removal of existing buried valves and pipes
- Full site restoration and integration with existing plant systems
- Comprehensive testing, commissioning, and operator training
By combining rigorous coordination, detailed outage planning, and live-plant expertise, we are ensuring this upgrade is completed safely, on schedule, and with absolute minimal impact to the Region’s wastewater treatment operations.
Scheduled for completion in 2026, the finished facility will feature reliable biosolids handling valves and chambers that meet today’s standards while protecting public health and the environment.
