Monitoring Station Rebuild – Directional Drill – South Saskatchewan River at Medicine Hat – 05AJ001 – Alberta

The Water Survey of Canada (WSC)/ National Hydrological Service (NHS) department of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) was established in 1908 to provide water level and flow data to all Canadians. NHS is the lead agency responsible for the collection, interpretation and dissemination of standardized water resource data and information in Canada. In partnership with the Provinces, Territories, and other agencies, there are over 400 active gauging stations in the Alberta Hydrometric Network operated under the Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Agreement for Water Quantity Surveys between NHS and Alberta Environment and Parks (AEPA). The objective of this project is to construct a sensor line for a monitoring station in a timely manner allowing continuous production of discharge data. The construction services are to be carried out in accordance with all applicable guidelines and standards, and result in minimal impact to the environment. The monitoring station at 05AJ001 South Saskatchewan River at Medicine Hat is due for infrastructural upgrades. Due to soil pressures from the berm, fatigue, and weathering, the shelter has deteriorated and requires repair/replacement. For the continued production of discharge data and operation safety, a new building is required. Completion of the scope of work is anticipated within ten (10) weeks. The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA). For additional information, interested suppliers should contact Helena Lee at; Helena.Lee@ec.gc.ca.
