💧 What We Do: A Complete Guide to Academy Water’s Core Services

When water stands in the way of progress, you need a team that knows how to move it—safely, efficiently, and without compromise. At Academy Water, we don’t just supply pumps. We design, install, and maintain full-scale water management systems for projects across Western Canada’s toughest environments.

Our work supports municipalities, developers, and industrial operators who can’t afford downtime. Below is a no-fluff look at the nine core services that make up the backbone of Academy Water.

1. Storm & Sanitary Bypass Pumping

Keeping systems online while work gets done.

When a city replaces a sewer main or upgrades a lift station, flow still has to move. Academy Water designs and installs temporary bypass systems that handle the load—without disruption to service.

• Full design and system layout

• Pump setup, monitoring, and fuel logistics

• Redundancy built into every plan

• 24/7 on-call crews for uninterrupted operation

Used for: Municipal infrastructure upgrades, treatment plant maintenance, and emergency repairs.

2. Wellpoint Dewatering

Lowering groundwater so construction can move forward.

Our wellpoint dewatering systems use a series of small-diameter wells connected to a vacuum header to draw down water around excavations. It’s fast, efficient, and ideal for tight urban sites.

• Custom layouts based on soil and groundwater conditions

• Drilling, setup, monitoring, and demobilization included

• Quiet, low-profile systems that minimize disruption

Used for: Utility trenches, foundations, and below-grade structures.

3. Creek & River Diversions

Working in and around water—without disturbing it.

Environmental compliance isn’t optional. We design fish-safe diversion systems that meet provincial and federal standards, keeping crews productive while protecting aquatic ecosystems.

• Temporary redirection of natural flows

• Fish salvage coordination and erosion control

• Built-in redundancy and flow monitoring

Used for: Culvert replacements, bridge work, and environmental restoration.

4. HDPE Fusion Services

The backbone of reliable water transfer.

Every great system depends on connections that don’t fail. Our certified fusion technicians weld, test, and document every joint for long-term integrity.

• In-house QA/QC documentation

• Pressure testing and traceability

• Mobile fusion crews across Alberta and BC

Used for: Water transfer, bypass, and diversion systems.

5. Filtration & Water Treatment

Clean discharge. Clear conscience.

From stormwater to construction discharge, filtration systems ensure compliance with environmental regulations and protect downstream ecosystems.

• Portable filtration and sediment control systems

• Site-specific designs to meet turbidity targets

• Regular maintenance and sampling

Used for: Construction, environmental remediation, and industrial discharges.

6. Wildfire Suppression & Emergency Response

When minutes matter, we move fast.

Academy Water supports firefighting and emergency operations with mobile water supply and suppression systems capable of delivering high volumes quickly and safely.

• Pre-staged pump units and hose systems

• Quick deployment for municipal and industrial sites

• Coordination with emergency management agencies

Used for: Wildfire response, camp protection, and municipal readiness.

7. Flood Mitigation & Response

Fast action when water rises.

From spring runoff to flash floods, our teams deploy temporary dams, high-volume pumps, and diversion systems to protect property and infrastructure.

• 24/7 emergency response

• Water diversion, pump-down, and containment systems

• Post-event recovery and dewatering support

Used for: Municipal flood zones, construction sites, and critical infrastructure.

8. High-Volume Water Transfer

Big flow, zero compromise.

Our high-volume systems move millions of litres per day across long distances, safely and efficiently. Built for industries that demand scale.

• Custom routing and pressure management

• Leak detection and telemetry options

• Designed for continuous operation under demanding conditions

Used for: Oil & gas, mining, and municipal supply projects.

9. HDPE Pipe Sales & Rentals

Everything you need to keep water moving.

We stock a full range of HDPE pipe diameters, fittings, and accessories available for rent or purchase—delivered and fused on-site by our team.

• Complete inventory

• On-site setup and repair

• Streamlined logistics to minimize downtime

Final Word
