Supports decades-long program to remediate
Hamilton Harbour
Aids growth and development objectives in
Hamilton, Ontario
DALLAS, May 30, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was contracted by the
City of Hamilton, Ontario in
Canada to provide engineering
services for the Woodward Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant Phase 2
Expansion. The project will upgrade and expand the city's largest
wastewater treatment plant to meet projected population growth and
improve water quality in the area.
At an estimated capital cost of approximately $310 million (CAD $420
million), the Phase 2 Expansion is one of the city's largest
wastewater infrastructure projects and a critical part of its Clean
Harbour Program to improve environmental health in Hamilton Harbour
– a bay located at the western tip of Lake Ontario and is also designated as a
"Great Lakes Area of Concern." As the largest single source of
water flowing into Hamilton Harbour, treatment upgrades at the
Woodward Avenue plant are being implemented to improve water
quality in the bay. Completed last year, Jacobs provided design
services for Phase 1 of the upgrade project.
"Jacobs has supported the City of
Hamilton for more than a decade with upgrades to its largest
wastewater treatment plant and we look forward to continuing that
relationship with this second phase expansion," said Jacobs Senior
Vice President Chrissy Thom.
"Building on our existing knowledge of the plant, we're developing
an innovative technical design that makes the Woodward Avenue plant
more resilient and meets the city's goals to remediate Hamilton
Harbour, supporting community and environmental benefits while
unlocking further economic growth."
Jacobs will undertake preliminary and final design for the
Woodward Ave Phase 2 Expansion, which includes the addition of a
new secondary treatment plant, expansion of tertiary treatment
facilities, upgrades to solids management and a major renovation of
the existing North Secondary Treatment Plant. The project will
increase the average rated capacity of the facility from 409 to 500
million liters per day (ML/d) and peak capacity from 614 to 1000
ML/d to better accommodate wet weather flows during rain events.
The city's goal is to complete the project before the end of 2032
to meet projected population growth.
At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by
solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities,
resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational
advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing,
turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for
