SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER AT MEDICINE HAT – 05AJ001 – ALBERTA - MONITORING STATION REBUILD

The Water Survey of Canada (WSC) / Environment and Climate Change Canada - National Hydrological Service (ECCC - NHS) was established in 1908 to provide water level and flow data to all Canadians. WSC 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 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 fifteen (15) weeks.

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