PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Durham Region is east of Toronto within the Golden Horseshoe. It is a mix of rural, residential and commercial land. The region has a thriving agricultural sector to the north and lakefront urban communities with a diverse employment base to the south. Durham region has eight unique municipalities: Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Uxbridge and Whitby. The Regional Municipality of Durham provides governance and many of the local services including water treatment to the citizens there.
The Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) is located in Pickering on the northern shore of Lake Ontario. The project involved the construction of a new influent pumping station, headworks building, biofilter odour control system and flow metering building for the Stage 3. It also involved the construction of a new submersible raw sewage pumping station to convey influent sewage flows to the Stage 3 treatment process on site making it one of the deepest and most complex pumping stations in the region.

Black & McDonald provided fabrication and/or installation of the following:
- Odour control exhaust system, including stainless steel and FRP ductwork, dampers, centrifugal fans and exhaust stack
