Yarmouth Yards Pumping Station Update: From the Beehive E137

Mike from St. Thomas Economic Development is back on-site at the Yarmouth Yards Pumping Station with another construction update, and this time he's joined by Nishant for a closer look at what's happening underground.
​
Since the last visit, this project has transformed from an open excavation into a serious feat of engineering. Nishant walks us through what this pumping station actually does (hint: it can move up to 200 litres of water per second), why the walls of the wet well are a full three feet thick, and how the construction team has broken the concrete pour into three carefully staged phases.

With two of those pours already complete and the final stage underway, commissioning is on track for October of this year, at which point the station will be ready to accept flows from the Yarmouth Yards industrial development site.
It's a big build, a bigger capacity, and a critical piece of infrastructure for one of the most exciting development projects St. Thomas has seen in years.
