Project: SaskTel Saskatoon Main Exchange Electrical Distribution Modernization
Client/Owner: SaskTel
This project was the first phase of a multi-phase project to improve the SaskTel main exchange at 140 - 1st Avenue in Saskatoon. This first phase incorporated the improvement and modernization of the electrical distribution system in preparation for the addition of a data center in the exchange, complete with redundant 1100kW UPS system and increased backup generation of 3250kW.
The main objectives of the new electrical distribution system were to increase the system capacity, reduce system downtime, improve system reliability and improve system maintainability. This was achieved by implementing a nearly concurrently maintainable system.

The Five Hills Regional Hospital is the first hospital in Canada built using the Integrated Project Delivery model. It took a collaborative process to build in a way that embraced LEAN. It was an opportunity to truly design a facility that would improve healthcare delivery and client satisfaction.
Collectively we identified what the significance of the project was in the community, recorded the goals and objectives of the region, and continued to seek and define the community’s legacy. We engaged healthcare providers, administrators, patients and staff in the 3P process. The integrated project team included Stantec, Devenney, Graham, and Boldt.

Project: Regina North Pressure Zone
Client/Owner: City of Regina

AECOM was selected by the City of Regina to design and oversee creation of the North Pressure Zone; consisting of a water distribution pumping station, large diameter feeder main network and separate pressure boundary serving the northwest area of Regina. The project team used several innovative techniques to overcome the challenges of dividing the water distribution system into two separate pressure zones. The North Pressure Zone was completed successfully and now provides an improved level of service, social and economic benefits to numerous residents and commercial businesses in the area, both now and into the future.

The Saskatchewan Landing Regional Water Pipeline project saw new water treatment and distribution infrastructure developed in environmentally sensitive areas for hundreds of users in west central Saskatchewan. Many of the communities did not have water treatment facilities and were not meeting current drinking water guidelines. Also, many of the rural customers had poor quality water out of wells or nearby municipal truck fills which provide untreated water to the area. This regional solution developed by the Saskatoon office of AECOM Canada Ltd. (AECOM) involved two new water treatment plants located in Kyle and Elrose, two booster pumping stations, three rural water reservoirs, 700 kilometers of rural water pipeline, 40 kilometers of water transmission pipeline, and numerous improvements to raw water supply and wastewater management.

AREVA Resources Canada Inc. planned an overall production capacity at their McClean Lake mill, which required an expansion of the existing Ammonium Sulphate Plant to handle the additional barren strip solution and increased ammonium sulphate product.
ENGCOMP provided structural, mechanical/piping, electrical/instrumentation and cost engineering services to double the capacity of the Ammonium Sulphate Plant for this major expansion on-time and on-budget, reduced the overall capital cost by 40% through the implementation plan, and provided a quality solution resulting in a small number of field construction requests for information.
The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Weyburn Sub runs parallel to Highway No. 39, approximately 70 metres apart. The new Estevan Truck Bypass crosses the railway and Highway No. 39. The rail and road authority each have well documented standards and procedures that were in conflict on how to protect the public at the rail crossing without unnecessary vehicle stoppages on Highway 39.
The agencies agreed to solution using a unique application of queue cutter signals with presence detection devices to reduce the possibility of vehicles stopping on the tracks without the need for unnecessary stoppages on Highway 39.
