This is where our saga covering the various stages in a collective water and sewerage network comes to an end. Having already learned about collection wells, storagetanks, sewers, pipework and rainwater management,<\/strong> in this last episode you will find out about a crucial step in protecting public health: the treatment and discharge of wastewater into the natural environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is essential to ensure the quality of this discharged water, which has been used for our domestic or industrial consumption. To clean it, our subsidiaries therefore build wastewater treatment plants all over the world, on the surface and underground, of all types and capacities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Treating wastewater<\/h2><\/div>

Expansion of a water treatment plant in Canada to treat the equivalent of the consumption of one million people.<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

This programme to expand the Annacis Island wastewater treatment plant in Canada is a large-scale project in which\u00a0Bessac<\/a>, our subsidiary specialising in tunnels and the manufacture of tunnel-boring machines,<\/strong> is participating as part of a consortium with Pomerleau.<\/p>\n

The aim is to provide a treatment capacity of 175 million cubic meters per year, or the equivalent of the consumption of one million people!<\/strong> The project, funded by the Metro Vancouver Regional District and covering 21 municipalities, an electoral district and a First Nation (Canadian indigenous people) is expected to be delivered by mid-2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>
