Associated Engineering was a key team member in the successful Design-Build-Operate Pursuit for the future ~$100 million Residuals Treatment Facility (RTF) for the Capital Regional District (CRD). The RTF will receive and stabilize the residuals (i.e., primary sludge, waste activated sludge) from the CRD’s future $765 million McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant, a 108-ML/d tertiary treatment plant; the RTF will also receive and stabilize hauled wastes from the region.

Associated Engineering is the Engineering Team Lead and, together with the constructors, technology provider and operator, will be implementing a facility includes equalization, thickening, anaerobic digestion, dewatering, beneficial use of biogas, drying and heat recovery. The facility will include an operations/ administration building with a LEED Gold target, and a sophisticated odour control system.
