AWWOA 50th Annual Seminar

This workshop will provide delegates with focus on essential ‘need-to-knows’ for water utility operators and managers when planning for and undertaking replacement or construction of a new water reservoir and pumping station.
Delegates will be guided through all aspects of reservoir and pumpstation construction through the example City of St. Albert Sturgeon Reservoir project through all phases, including but not limited to concept through capital planning, engineering design, procurement, and construction to commissioning. Similarly to other projects, through this workshop many of the opportunities, challenges and solutions experienced by the City of St. Albert having embarked on a typical design-bid-build approach to ‘the pivot’ and direction in moving forward with integrated project delivery will be shared with delegates.
The scope of this project and workshop also encompasses reservoir, pumpstation and off-site infrastructure rehabilitation vs replacement, addressing public concerns and perspectives, engaging stakeholders, responding to the unplanned, choosing by advantages and last-responsible-moment decision making.
Beyond this project, both Brian and Jason bring over 50 years combined career experience in water and wastewater including design, construction and operations of water reservoirs and pump stations. As engaging speakers, interaction with delegates will be occurring throughout the workshop, and those present will have take-away value-added knowledge being prepared to bring an operations perspective should they be part of a future water reservoir and pumpstation construction project.
