Jacobs, an engineering firm, has been contracted by the City of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, to provide services for the Woodward Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant Phase 2 Expansion.
This project aims to upgrade and expand the city’s largest wastewater treatment facility, addressing population growth and improving water quality in Hamilton Harbour, a designated “Great Lakes Area of Concern.”
The Phase 2 Expansion, estimated at $310 million CAD ($420 million), is one of the city’s largest wastewater infrastructure projects and a crucial part of the Clean Harbour Program, which aims to enhance environmental health in the bay. Jacobs has previously provided design services for Phase 1 of the upgrade.
Jacobs Senior Vice President Chrissy Thom stated, “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.”
The company will undertake preliminary and final design, including 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, better accommodating wet weather flows. The city aims to complete the project before the end of 2032 to meet projected population growth.
Jacobs, with approximately $16 billion in annual revenue and a talent force of more than 60,000, provides a full spectrum of professional services, including consulting, technical, scientific, and project delivery, for governments and the private sector.
