Project:

Hurdman Bridge Drinking Water Pumping Station Upgrades

Completion Date:

October 25, 2027

Details:

The Hurdman Bridge Drinking Water Pump Station is located just north of the Hurdman Transit Station, adjacent to the CN/CP rail line, between Riverside Dr. and the Rideau River. Constructed in early 1970s the existing Hurdman PS is used to boost water from Zone 1W to eastern water zones of the city. The PS has four pumps which pump from Zone 1W to 1E and a fifth, manually controlled pump, which can pump from 1W to either 1E or 2C. Due to age, much of the equipment at the PS is obsolete or at the end of its lifecycle. The intent of this project is to refurbish the entire station to bring it up to current city standards, meet current and future pumping demands and implement a standby power system at the station. As well there is a need to increase water transfer pumping capacity for Zone 2C. Yard configuration and building repairs and refurbishment are also required. The intent is to refurbish the existing station and site; however, the pump station will have to remain in service during the construction phase of the project. The design and proposed staging must account for keeping the facility in use while work is ongoing.

Phasing planned to eliminate shutdowns.

Traffic Impact:

Traffic impacts limited to one hydrant connection on Transitway access road to Hurdman Transit Station in 2025.
