Rehabilitation of the Davis Diversion Intake: A Novel Environmental Solution
Award of Excellence (Environmental Category)
Operation of the original Davis Diversion has, in the past, resulted in stranding of at-risk fish species. KGS Group developed the design and oversaw construction of a new weir with a Coanda fish exclusion screen combined with a new fishway.
RAS Piping Refurbishment - Extending the Life of Critical Process Piping
Award of Excellence (Industrial Category)
KGS Group spearheaded the structural renewal of almost 2,000 feet of over 30-year-old, leaking Return Activated Sludge (RAS) piping at the City of Winnipeg’s North End Water Pollution Control Centre, which treats 187.5 million litres of wastewater daily.
Newton Force Main River Crossing
Award of Excellence (Municipal & Water Technology Category)
This project replaced a failing system to ensure the safe, daily conveyance of over 2.3 million litres of wastewater across the Red River in Winnipeg. An alternate alignment was developed to both reroute the Newton force main and install it safely within the bedrock below the river.
Pioneering Sustainable Solutions: University of Manitoba Fort Garry Campus Riverbank Asset Management
Award of Excellence (Infrastructure Category)
Uncontrolled water discharge from a culvert was threatening the integrity of the riverbank and a significant portion of Sifton Road on the University of Manitoba Fort Garry campus. KGS Group provided engineering expertise to rebuild the culvert, Sifton Road and an innovative reconstructed dike system with a lightweight fill material anchored with helical piles.
Swimming Towards Sustainability: Crossing Enhancements on Beaver Creek at Historic Fort Ellice
