2025 Water Week Workshop #4 - Reservoir Construction – From Concept to Commissioning

CEUs

0.3 CEUs

Description

This workshop will provide water utility operators and managers with essential ‘need-to-knows’ when planning for and undertaking replacement or construction of a new water reservoir and pumping station.

Delegates will be guided through all aspects of reservoir and pumpstation construction through the example of the City of St. Albert Sturgeon Reservoir project. All phases, including capital planning, engineering design, procurement, and construction to commissioning will be discussed. Many of the opportunities, challenges and solutions in moving forward with integrated project delivery will also be shared.

The workshop also encompasses reservoir, pumpstation and off-site infrastructure rehabilitation vs replacement, addressing public concerns and perspectives, engaging stakeholders, responding to the unplanned, choosing by advantages and last-responsible-moment decision making.

Beyond this project, Brian and Jason bring over 50 years combined experience in water and wastewater including design, construction and operations of water reservoirs and pump stations. As engaging speakers, interaction with delegates will occur throughout the workshop, and those present will take away knowledge should they be part of a future water reservoir and pumpstation construction project.

Presenter(s): Brian Brost, City of St. Albert; Jason Kopan, ISL Engineering and Land Services; and Ryan Maloney, Sure-Form Contracting
