TSX, NYSE:STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering,
has begun the final design phase of Segment B for the South
Hillsborough Pipeline with longtime client Tampa Bay Water. Tampa
Bay Water awarded the firm a contract amendment to include final
design engineering and construction management at risk support
services (CMAR), bringing Stantec’s total fees to US$14 million.
With a construction cost of approximately US$100 million, Segment B
will help meet the growing demand for potable water in Hillsborough
County’s South-Central service area.
During the initial phase of the project, Stantec conducted a
route study to determine the most feasible path for the pipeline
and prepared preliminary designs. Following final design
completion, the firm will provide CMAR and construction support
services throughout construction.
Unprecedented population growth is driving this project as
Hillsborough County, the fourth largest county in Florida,
experienced a 24 percent growth rate since 2010 and a 1.5 percent
increase in 2023, according to the U.S. Census data. The Tampa Bay
Economic Development Council estimates the county will grow by a
further approximate 8% by 2026. To meet the rapid increase in water
service demands of new residents, the South Hillsborough Pipeline
project will deliver potable water to a new connection point with
Hillsborough County and supply water to the growing area.
The South Hillsborough Pipeline will connect Tampa Bay Water’s
Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant to a new point of connection
in South Hillsborough County, increasing the conveyance to the
area. The Stantec-designed Segment B will account for eight out of
26 total miles of pipeline with a design life of more than 50
years. Segment B will connect to Segment A near Fish Hawk Boulevard
and terminate at the County’s new point of connection. The up to
72-inch diameter pipes will pass through urban and rural corridors,
crossing a river, railroad, state and county freeways, and road
intersections. Stantec is designing special tunneling sections as
part of the project to mitigate effects on the local, rural
environment and the public.
“These expanded pipelines will transmit the water needed to
serve this growing community. Our team has collaborated with Tampa
Bay Water and Hillsborough County to minimize area disruptions
while maximizing system improvement benefits,” said Jarah Parke,
senior project manager at Stantec. “Stantec and Tampa Bay Water are
united in our mutual goal of enhanced water delivery and building a
lasting, effective system for years to come.”
Stantec has a long history of providing engineering services for
Tampa Bay Water and Hillsborough County. In 2009, the firm served
as the engineer of record for the Tampa Bay Water System
Configuration 2 Pumping Station Expansions Project, which included
the expansion of four major pumping facilities in the Tampa Bay
Water Enhanced Surface Water System. Stantec ecologists and
engineers currently support Hillsborough County on the Northwest
Regional Water Reclamation Facility Expansion Wetland Mitigation.
The team was charged with supporting the environmental assessment,
planning, permitting for the project and implementing a wetland
mitigation program.
