Learn more about this project.

Southern Alberta, a region known for its vibrant agricultural community,

stands at the forefront of f lood protection and water management

with the Horsef ly Regional Emergency Spillway. This project, a crucial

addition to the area’s infrastructure, is designed to shield homes, fertile

farmlands, and essential infrastructures from the devastating ef fects of

severe weather-induced f looding. By ensuring the safety of irrigation and

potable water systems, it not only protects crops and livestock but also

safeguards the health of the community.

Since January 2021, MPE, a division of Englobe, proudly leads this

vital initiative expertly handling every facet of the project, from civil

and hydrotechnical design to structural and geotechnical aspects, all

while maintaining a strong focus on environmental compliance and

sustainability. The innovative spillway techniques developed here are a

beacon of hope for similar regions in Western Canada, of fering

adaptable solutions to f lood mitigation and water management

challenges.

Englobe’s involvement in the Horsef ly Regional Emergency Spillway

Project is more than just an infrastructure upgrade — it’s a testament

to our commitment to f lood resiliency and community protection. We

are dedicated to bolstering readiness for extreme weather events

and fortifying the resilience of communities across Southern Alberta

and beyond.
