The City of Montreal wanted to change over from pure chlorine to a concentrated solution of sodium hypochlorite as a disinfectant at the Pointe-Claire drinking water plant. They reached out to us to help with the conversion required to enable this transition, while keeping the old system in operation until the work was completed.
Our team focused on transforming the interior space rather than enlarging the plant. We converted a former settling tank into a room suitable for safe and accessible employee storage. Within the newly available space, we installed two 25-cubic-metre (883-cubic-foot) tanks, created a spill containment system, and designed several slatted platforms to allow personnel to move around the containment level and above the tanks.
This process made it possible to maintain a continuous supply of drinking water to the community, while reducing sources of noise and dust, during construction. Additionally, the transportation and storage of the sodium hypochlorite solution has a reduced risk of leaks and spills compared to the handling of pure chlorine.
