Passenger-operated Cableway Rebuild, Little Smoky River near Guy (07GH002), Alberta

Environment and Climate Change Canada - National Hydrological Service / Water Survey of Canada (WSC) (ECCC - NHS) 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 WSC and Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP).

The objective of this project is to construct a new passenger operated cableway 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 existing hydrometric station has been operated by ECCC-NHS since 1960 and is due for infrastructural upgrades. For the continued production of discharge data and operation safety, a new passenger operated cableway is required. The required services of this project will be the installation of a new cableway at this site, in the same location as the existing cableway. Upgrades of the new cableway design includes taller A-Frame steel towers and a span of 151 meters across the river.

Completion of the scope of work is anticipated within fourteen (14) weeks.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
