Nose Creek Sanitary Sewer Trunk Upgrade

Nose Creek Area, Calgary, AB, Canada

Project Highlight:

Expanding capacity while protecting the environment

As Calgary’s northern communities continue to grow, the city needed to expand its wastewater infrastructure to handle increasing demand and ensure reliable service for decades to come. The Nose Creek Sanitary Sewer Trunk upgrade was developed to expand the city’s underground sewer system and support long-term urban development.

The project involved installing a new sewer line alongside the existing system, effectively increasing its capacity and helping the city prepare for future population growth. By strengthening this essential underground network, the project plays a key role in maintaining public health, environmental protection and sustainable urban expansion

Moments that define the project

Tackling Complex Underground Challenges

Constructing major infrastructure beneath an active city landscape required careful engineering and planning. The pipeline route passed under parks, transportation corridors, and natural creek areas, meaning construction had to minimize disturbance to surrounding communities and sensitive environments.

Engineers used trenchless tunneling techniques, allowing crews to install large sewer pipes deep underground without extensive surface excavation. This approach reduced disruption to neighborhoods, protected green spaces and maintained normal activity above ground while work progressed below.

The project also involved navigating challenging ground conditions such as varying soil types and rock formations while ensuring the structural integrity of the new system. Careful planning and advanced modeling were used to design a system that remains safe and efficient for long-term operation.

Award sweep: Industry recognition

The Nose Creek project not only broke the record for longest microtunnel drive completed in North America, it also has been recognized by several industry organizations:

The Nose Creek Sanitary Sewer Trunk project exemplifies how collaboration, innovation and technical rigor can overcome complex challenges and deliver sustainable infrastructure that keeps communities healthy while preserving the natural landscape that define them.
