As part of the Ottawa West Flow Through Pump Station Upgrades work will soon be commencing at 31 McEwan. Due to the Hydro Ottawa labour strike this work is currently behind the original schedule and will be starting in the spring of this year.
The purpose of the work is to make improvements to the systems reliability and resiliency as the current configuration requires regular maintenance and manual operation.
The first phase of work at the McEwen Sanitary Pump Station, completed in 2022 and 2023, included constructing concrete pads, installing a duct bank below the road and installing new electrical kiosks on the concrete pad.
Preparatory work will include exploratory Hydrovac activities within cul-de-sac on McEwen on February 27 and February 28th. This prep work is required now so that the contractor daylights the underground services and verifies their plan before fully mobilizing on site.
The second phase of work will include installing the generator, replacing the pumps and making the necessary connections. For more information on this project please visit: https://ottawa.ca/…/ottawa-west-flow-through-pump…
