The Proposed Project
The objective of this project is to replace both the existing supply and return lines from the University of Manitoba to the FWI. Replacement of the chilled water lines addresses existing system end of life concerns and will provide many more years of operability to the existing system. Success of this project will result in significantly lower risk to the facility of failure which benefits all programs at the FWI.
