Jerry VanDerDussen (left) and Terry Huebner, site superintendents for Nu Edge Construction, study construction plans for the new City of Camrose pump station.
The City of Camrose has retained IFL Engineering and Land Services to design and oversee construction of the
new raw water pump station which is currently under construction on the east side of Dried Meat Lake. Alpha Construction is the prime contractor on the ambitious $6.7 million project. Local company Nu Edge Construction Ltd. is supplying heavy equipment and related manpower for the job. The new pump facility, which will move water directly from the lake to the water treatment plant, (located on the southern edge of Camrose) is being built to accommodate the future population growth of the expanding city. The new station is designed to provide sufficient water to allow the city to grow to approximately 30,000 residents. It was also designed to incorporate the long-term water needs which are required in the canola crushing process at the new Cargill plant. The Cargill Crush Plant will be operational this spring. Unlike the existing raw water pump station, this modern version has been engineered with an elevation that is above the 100-year flood level of Dried Meat Lake. This project was started in the fall of 2014, with all construction slated to be completed by December of this year.
