Ashbridge Bay Project

AGF Rebar is currently working on the Ashbridges Bay treatment plant, one of the four wastewater treatment plants in Toronto and the second largest of its kind in Canada. 
It’s also one of the oldest, dating back to 1917, with the weir built in 1947.

The scope of work is complex and extensive, since it involves adding a new discharge pipe to transport the effluent further into Lake Ontario, after treatment by a new ultraviolet sanitation system. Therefore, the plant does not use chemical sanitation..
—
The scope includes adding two containment tanks to the existing structure. One is intented for wastewater treatment, and the other is a sanitary screening well. One is approximately 220 ft deep and the other just over 100 ft.

With both wells combined, the weight of the steel slightly exceeds 6,400 metric tons.

Despite these ambitious objectives, the project was not without difficulties. AGF had to overcome logistical obstacles related to the transport of materials and the complexity of the project’s design. Managing vast quantities of steel and coordinating with the client’s labor force required meticulous planning and diligent management.

In line with AGF’s unwavering commitment to safety, strict protocols were followed, enabling the accomplishment of more than 10,000 hours of work without incident.

With a workforce reaching 25 employees on-site, safety remains the top priority at all stages of the project.
