Residue Management Facility
The City of Toronto recently built a residue management facility at the R.C. Harris Treatment Plant. A residue management facility is a small building containing process equipment and underground tanks. It is used to treat materials leftover from the filtration process of cleaning lake water to make potable (drinking) water.
Construction activities included:
- installation
of fencing and hoarding on the north, east and west boundaries
of the plant
- installation
of temporary access roads for plant operations and construction
- re-location
of in-ground services
- set-up for
barging operation at sea-wall
- excavation
of an area a little larger than a football field for installation
of the Residue Management facilities
