The City of Calgary has awarded the North Calgary Water Servicing Facilities project to Graham Construction & Engineering Inc. This project is part of a larger effort to strengthen water servicing capacity and system redundancy in North Calgary and Airdrie.

The project involves the construction of a new 22 kilometre long water feeder main and multiple support facilities. Graham will undertake the design and construction of nine critical support facilities along the new feeder main.

The North Calgary Water Servicing Facilities project involves the design and construction of a new 100 ML/d High Lift Pump Station at Bearspaw, electrical and mechanical upgrades at the Mountain View Pump Station, a new reservoir at the Top Hill site, upgrades to the Research Park Booster Pump Station, and feeder main and PRV chambers at the Big Hill East Reservoir. It also includes a tie-in between the Beddington Reservoir and the Northridge feeder main and preliminary structures to accommodate a future energy reduction facility.

The North Calgary Water Servicing feeder main will run north from the Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant near Stoney Trail and Nose Hill Drive, crossing under Crowchild Trail up to 144 Ave N.W. and then connecting to the Northridge Feeder Main at 144 Ave and 14 Street N.W.

“We’re proud to contribute our expertise to this initiative and to once again partner with the City of Calgary on delivering resilient, future-ready infrastructure,” said the company.

Construction of the feeder main is expected to be complete by the end of 2028, with facility construction and system commissioning finalized by the end of 2029.

The North Calgary Water Servicing Project is one of several major water infrastructure projects underway in Calgary, including the Bearspaw South Feeder Main improvements and the South Calgary Water Servicing Project.
