This project will see the implementation of recommendations from a cross connection control evaluation completed in 2025 at the Beaverlodge Research Farm located at PO BOX 29, 100038 TOWNSHIP ROAD 720, COUNTY OF GRANDE PRAIRIE, Beaverlodge, Alberta, T0H 0C0. There are approximately 35 backflow preventers to be installed in 10 buildings. Backflow preventors include 14 reduced pressure principle assemblies, 3 atmospheric vacuum breakers, 3 air gaps, 1 duel check valve assembly, 9 hose connection vacuum breakers, 3 mixing valves and 1 pressure vacuum breaker. Plumbing rearrangements may be necessary for installation, code compliance, and for implementation of drawing and specification requirements. The site will be fully occupied throughout construction. In order to minimize disruption to operations, construction will need to take into consideration the use and occupancy of the adjacent areas and incorporate phasing and scheduling activities to suit. Water shut downs will need to be coordinated with site maintenance and research staff to ensure as little disruption to the operations as possible. The work will be conducted on AAFC property and will require trades staff to obtain a reliability status security clearance prior to being on site for the work.
