Jacobs to design wastewater treatment plant expansion in Hamilton, Ontario

Jacobs was contracted by the City of Hamilton, Ontario in Canada to provide engineering services for the Woodward Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant Phase 2 Expansion. The project will upgrade and expand the city’s largest wastewater treatment plant to meet projected population growth and improve water quality in the area. At an estimated capital cost of approximately $310M, the Phase 2 Expansion is one of the city’s largest wastewater infrastructure projects and a critical part of its Clean Harbour Program to improve environmental health in Hamilton Harbour – a bay located at the western tip of Lake Ontario. The project will increase the average rated capacity of the facility from 409 to 500 million liters per day.
