Peel Region has tapped Stantec to help with the delivery of a key water-infrastructure project.

The engineering firm was announced as the region’s preferred proponent for the design of the Queensway East-Cawthra Trunk Sewer and upgrades to the Pressure Zone 2 Water System.

Stantec will provide professional engineering services for the design and construction management of the project, which consists of the Queensway East Trunk Sewer, Cawthra Trunk Sewer Phase 4, and the Queensway Transmission Main Pressure Zone 2 Upgrades.

The scope of work includes approximately 6.4 kilometres of tunneled trunk level sewers and up to 4.1 kilometres of water feedermains. The infrastructure is part of major system upgrades that will provide additional capacity to service growth within the Mississauga City Centre Area to 2041 and beyond. The system will be designed to help Peel Region achieve its strategy to enhance overall system reliability and resiliency for the sanitary and water systems.

“It’s a privilege to help deliver such an important project for the Region of Peel,” said Neil Harvey, senior project manager with Stantec. “Our diverse team will deliver a complex project, efficiently to minimize community and customer disruption. Our deep understanding of the Region of Peel’s sanitary collection and water distribution systems will be valuable to this partnership.”

Stantec was selected, in part, due to its historical knowledge of the Region of Peel’s infrastructure systems.

The company has worked on several projects in the region, including the Lakeshore Sanitary Trunk Sewer and Pressure Zone 1 Upgrades, Little Etobicoke Creek (Haig Boulevard) Sanitary Trunk Sewer and New local Sanitary Sewer, and the development of the region’s Real Time Control Strategy for its Trunk Sanitary Sewer System.

Several team members also worked together on the City of Ottawa’s award-winning Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel.

Collectively, Stantec’s team brings together over 300 kilometers of tunnel design and implementation experience in both soft-ground and rock tunnels.
