Capital Projects
Capital Project Phases
- Concept: This is the first phase of a project where a project is presented to council that will significantly improve infrastructure or a Town facility.
- Development Design: During this phase of the project, drawings and cost estimates are developed. The goals and objectives of a project are identified to maximize service delivery in our facilities and infrastructure.
- Detailed Design: During this phase, the concepts and design ideas are further developed and refined into detailed plans and specifications. Engineering analysis may ensure the feasibility of the project, safety and compliance with codes and regulations. This phase happens before a project is tendered and lays the foundation for successful project execution.
- Build: This includes the construction and implementation of a project. It involves managing resources, coordinating contractors and suppliers, conducting inspections and ensuring the project is completed within schedule and budget.
- Operate: This is the final phase, following the completion of construction or implementation. It involved ongoing management, maintenance, and utilization. This phase focuses on optimizing performance, monitoring costs and addressing any operational issues that may arise.
Current Projects
106 Street (100 Avenue to 99 Avenue)
This project begins with underground infrastructure renewal, work that is necessary to address ageing pipes and reduce service disruptions and will also introduce new streetscaping and design improvements that will change how this area looks and functions.
Status: Development Design
New Bulk Water Station
Construction of a new Bulk Water Station to meet current and future water demands and improve service reliability for residents, businesses, and commercial users. The existing station has reached the end of its service life and no longer meets current safety or operational standards. The new facility will provide a more efficient, secure, and user-friendly water supply point, supporting local industry and future growth while strengthening the Town’s overall water system.
Status: TBD
Annual Sewer Relining Program
Location: TBD
The Town completes an annual sewer relining program to proactively maintain and extend the life of existing sewer infrastructure. Projects are identified and prioritized using sewer condition assessments completed with closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections. Based on these evaluations, sections of sewer are selected for relining where it is most effective and beneficial.
Annual Road Rehabilitation
Location: TBD
The Town undertakes an annual road rehabilitation program to maintain and improve roadway infrastructure, including asphalt roadways and concrete curbs and sidewalks. A comprehensive road quality survey was completed in 2025 to assess the condition of the transportation network. The results of this survey are currently being reviewed and will be used to establish priorities for the 2026 construction season. Rehabilitation projects will be selected based on roadway condition, lifecycle considerations, and overall network performance.
