| Amec prepared to defend Alberta against flood Amec, the international project management and services company, will design and monitor construction of improvements to the 52-year-old Travers Reservoir, one of Alberta's major irrigation reservoirs. Last spring's flooding in southern Alberta led to increased attention to Alberta's water resources infrastructure. As a result, Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation has awarded Amec the design and construction phase of the Travers Reservoir project. The reservoir is created by a 44 metre high dam and has a surface area of 2, 250 hectares and a total storage capacity of over 31 million cubic meters. It is part of the South Saskatchewan River drainage basin and receives most of its water from the Bow River via the Carseland Bow River Headworks main canal including McGregor Reservoir. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
