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
