The City of Calgary Waterworks owns and operates two large conventional water
treatment plants, each of nominal capacity of about 450 ML/d (~120 mgd). Presently,
the City of Calgary is upgrading both plants to improve water quality, water quantity, and
environmental / safety performance. The conceptualization of this Upgrade Program
ran from late 2000 until 2003, and then the Program moved into pre-design, detailed
design, and construction activity.
This paper describes the Owner / Consultant collaboration that was employed in the
conceptualization of the City's Plant Upgrade Program Roadmap. Although the
collaboration described is not entirely unique in its approach, it is shown to be
necessary due to the complexity of the large facilities and to the complexity of the
program. Also, the collaborative approach was an efficient and effective means of
engaging the City of Calgary's unique Process Optimization Team, the makeup and
functions of which are described in this paper. The paper discusses the benefits of this
approach, and mentions a few potential issues that require consideration. Several
examples of the collaborative work are given, and recommendations are made for good
relationships between Owners and Consultants in collaborative Upgrade Program
Roadmap development. Includes tables, figures.
