Abstract

The Rehabilitation of the Diversion Headworks on the Oldman River is part of the improvement and expansion of the 60 year old Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District (LNID) water supply gravity system. Demand for increased capacity of the conveyance system, maintenance and operational problems experienced over the years and compliance with the Water Resources Act and Alberta Fish and Wildlife, are the factors which determined the new functional requirements of the Diversion Headworks.The works described in this paper involve the demolition and reconstruction of the Headgates and Sluicegate structures, the incorporation of a Fishway and Riparian Outlet works and the refurbishing of the existing concrete weir and footbridge.

Le restauration des ouvrages de dérivation de la rivière Oldman fait partie de l’amélioration et de l’expansion du système Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District (LNID), vieux de 60 ans.Le demande pour une capacité toujours croissante du système, le respect des nouveaux règlements gouvernementaux ainsi que les difficultés de fontionnement et d’entretien d’un ancien réseau au cours des années furent les facteurs essentiels qui ont influencé les nouvelles exigences fonctionnelles à remplir par le nouvel ouvrage de dérivation.L’exposé qui suit décrit la démolition et la rénovation des vannes d’amont et des pertuis à vanne, la mise en place d’un passage à poissons et d’un pertuis de chasse et la réparation du barrage déversoir et du pont métallique existants.
