Capital Regional District Residuals Treatment Facility
The Residuals Treatment Facility (RTF) project is a major component of the overall Wastewater Treatment Project for the Capital Regional District in Victoria, B.C., which includes the core area municipalities of Victoria, Esquimalt, Saanich, Oak Bay, View Royal, Langford and Colwood, and the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations.
The state-of-the-art facility is designed to process 14,000 dry tonnes of residual solids from the McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant into Class A biosolids using anerobic digestion (AD) and thermal drying processes. As part of the AD process, Biogas is captured and reused within the drying process.
Bird is part of the joint venture that was awarded the design, build, finance, operation and maintenance contract, and has been involved in all aspects of the project. Bird led the financing for this project, as well as undertaking the initial planning, design and construction management, environmental approvals, site safety, and quality control. As part of the rigorous site safety and quality control measures, there is regular monitoring of the water quality, and a stringent containment and spill planning and response plan specifically for the Residuals Treatment Facility.
