C.J. MacLellan provided engineering services for site development and building design elements for the Public Works Recycling facility at Antigonish County.

CJMac was responsible for full survey including topographic details for earthworks and parking lot analysis, siting of the access road and parking area, parking lot grading, drainage and stormwater management, and lighting. Structural design of the foundation and slab with consideration for wood frame construction for the office component and steel truss and metal siding for the garage component was considered. The facility provides a one storey office facility including washrooms, kitchen, boardroom, and a five bay Public Works garage for equipment maintenance and storage.

The building considered slab on grade construction with frost wall, infloor heating, steel siding with light panels, multiple automatic overhead doors, steel truss and metal insulated roof, and roof drainage controls. The office facility was architecturally designed for interior and exterior finishes and included mechanical and electrical design by CJMac staff.

Site construction was overseen by engineers and inspection staff from C.J. MacLellan & Associates Inc.  The facility was commissioned in April of 2009.

In the fall of 2005, C.J. MacLellan provided complete site engineering services for site development and building design for the new outlet in Beech Hill Road Antigonish.

CJMac was responsible for siting of the building, road access, parking lot grading, storm water management and vehicle access and egress. The site was originally a greenfield sloping in one direction which necessitated significant earthworks. The site is currently situated on the end of a cul-de sac and has been designed for future access off the Trans Canada bypass.

The building was designed in accordance with GM specifications and included tilt up panel construction, in floor heating, maintenance and shop bays with lighting and necessary power requirements, office architecture and layout, showroom and service areas. CJMac provided complete engineering services from M & E, structural and yard lighting.

CJMac staff provided design, obtained approvals from the Municipality and provides site inspections on earth works, compaction as well as materials testing of granular materials.

A gap analysis led to a review of opportunities for expanding services,  specifically ice plant, freezer, and cooler capacity. Preparation of the Business Plan including  cost estimates,

C.J. MacLellan with ABL Environmental Consultants Inc. provided for design and contract administration engineering services for the construction of an extension to the existing collection system and upgrades to the existing sewage treatment plant.

CJMac acted as prime consultant responsible for structural, civil, and mechanical design.  ABL provided the process design for the treatment plant and Nova Dynamics provided electrical and controls design.  The project commenced in the fall of 2009 and construction commenced in the spring of 2010.  Commissioning is anticipated by March 2011.

The design program was undertaken with a very aggressive schedule to meet funding requirements. The capacity of the existing treatment plant is to be expanded by 40% to 80,000 Igpd.  The upgrades include additional aeration, a second RBC unit, a tertiary filter and improvements to the building envelope.  The collection system extension was intended to service an additional 125 households with capacity for expansion.

The extension consists of: two new pumping stations and upgrade of an existing pumping station, 4,025 m of conventional gravity sewer, 2,125 m of small diameter gravity sewer, 1,525 m of low pressure forcemain, and 2,875 m of forcemain.

The project construction costs were tendered at $3.96 million with design and contract administration fees at fees at $ 333,000.

In 2002 C.J. MacLellan & Associates tendered over 4.5 kilometres of small diameter collection sewer (150mm diameter) and forcemain (75mm diameter) to service the Village of Pomquet. The project included individual pump chambers at those properties that required a pressure flow condition and cleanout chambers at others that flow by gravity to the local sewer.

The project considered a number of tenders simultaneously with work extending over a one year period at a cost of $1.5 million.

Overall the Municipality is very pleased with the treatment plant and its connecting infrastructure  and has on many occasions provided tours of the facility and system for municipal operators, NSEL staff and other interested parties in this technology.

In 2006 C.J. MacLellan & Associates designed and tendered the construction of the new Northumberland Fisheries Museum Wharf located on the Pictou Waterfront.  This was

Following the geo-technical investigation it was determined that a pile structure be used be built.

The design team worked closely with the Northumberland Fisheries Museum and Heritage Association (NFMHA) as it was important to perceive the historic look of the initial waterfront as this project neighboured the Ship Hector Quay.  The design and development of the wharf infrastructure was intended to function as a wharf and also house the new museum facility. Provisions for electrical, telephone, water and sewer were also made during construction of the wharf.

Following the driving of the treated timber piles, reinforced concrete pile caps were installed.  The finished surface of the wharf

The project was completed for $553,000.

C.J. MacLellan & Associates were the prime consultants with Fowler Bauld and Mitchell and NDL providing subconsultant services for the StoraEnso Stores Warehouse, located in

The Antigonish Sewage Treatment Plant sludge (1996 & 2005) had the initial stage which involved removing sludges from a twenty year old lagoon system prior to rehabilitation with a new raised wall six cell lagoon and a continuous sand filter. The new STP, after six years of operation, had a sludge quantity/quality test program undertaken jointly by ABL Environmental Consultants and C.J. MacLellan & Associates which recommended disposal by dewatering and biosolids composting at the Guysborough landfill.

A tender in late 2004 resulted in dredging and pumping the sludge biosolids through pre-screens, flocculation tank, and twin centrifuges for dewatering, with 220 bone dry tonnes hauling for composting and stabilization. C.J. MacLellan & Associates Inc provided contract administration, inspection. and sampling/testing services to the Town of Antigonish.

Project Description:  Lyons Brook Wastewater Collection Project – C.J. MacLellan & Associates completed the pre-servicing report for this area in the Municipality of the County of Pictou in 2005 to service over 375 homes in the Lyons Brook area between the rotary and Scotsburn. The report recommended the use of small diameter pipe technologies and the consideration for individual heat source positive displacement pump stations in concert with some gravity collectors. A series of pumping stations would convey the sewage effluent for treatment at the new Town of Pictou wastewater treatment plant.

The final design tendered in 2008 included five pumping stations, over 28 kilometres of gravity and small diameter pressure sewer. The $6.0 million project required in excess of 80  plan/profile drawings, the first phase tender was awarded in the summer of 2008 and construction activities have commenced.

In parallel the firm completed conveyance design for the Town of Pictou including three new pump stations as well as the structural, site civil, mechanical, & electrical design for the new wastewater treatment plant as sub-consultant with ABL Environmental Consultants .
