Mill Cove Sewage Treatment Plant

The Halifax metropolitan area has seen an extensive population expansion in the last 30 years. Bedford has seen some of the fastest growth, and as a result, the existing sewage treatment plant was not adequate for the increased demands. BMR carried out the structural design required to increase the plant capacity from 5 million gallons of effluent per day to 7.5 million gallons per day. To meet future demands, the design allows for expansion to 10 million gallons per day.

Design and construction of many of these components was complex due to the proximity of existing structures and the requirement that the plant be kept in operation throughout the expansion process.
