Project Scope

Broadwater Industries was involved in the construction of a regional sewage treatment facility for the communities of Old Masset Village and the Village of Masset. The job consisted of the clearing and excavation for the construction of three lagoons covering a 5-hectare area. The lagoons were lined with HDPE to hold the treatment effluent within the gravel berms. The lagoons contained a floating lateral air injection system and 1.5 Km of HDPE process piping. On the facility site, an architecturally-designed masonry block/heavy timber construction treatment control building was constructed to house the UV treatment channels and air supply blowers for the floating lateral system, complete with standby diesel generator. The treatment facility was tied into existing outfalls and lift stations using the fusion of HDPE pipe. A new lift station between the two communities was installed to pump sewage from the Village of Masset to the treatment site located in Old Masset. A new 12″ diameter HDPE sewer force main replaced the existing deteriorating PVC lines along the 4 Km-length roadway.
