Industra Construction Corp. is growing rapidly in Ontario, and we’re looking for an experienced Construction Superintendent to lead the Spring Gardens Sewage Pumping Station and Forcemain Upgrade in St. Catharines, ON, for Niagara Region. This $10.8M, 18-month project starts in December 2026. It replaces an existing sanitary pumping station with a new shored, cast-in-place concrete wet well and valve chamber. The new station includes submersible pumps, process piping and valves, SCADA controls, a motor control centre with VFDs, and a 175 kWe standby generator. Temporary bypass pumping will keep the existing station running throughout construction. The linear work includes about 460 m of new 500 mm PVC forcemain, plus new inlet and overflow sewers and maintenance holes.
