PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: SR1 SPRINGBANK RESERVOIR

Starting in 2015, the Government of Alberta tasked RKV and Stantec with creating an animation to show the flood mitigation plan for Calgary and the surrounding area.

The videos are designed to illustrate the proposed new dry dam and reservoir (SR1) west of Calgary. SR1 will reduce flood risk by managing downstream river flow rates and volume. In the event of a flood, water is diverged from the Elbow river to a holding reservoir that will store the excess water until the danger of flooding has passed.

The video was used by the Government of Alberta for public consolation and engagement regarding their flood mitigation plan. Following a round of public consultation and through feedback received from stakeholders and the community, the team was tasked with creating a second video in 2017 featuring updated structures and function. In 2020, through further public consultation, the team was once more tasked with updating the video to showcase a realistic version of the project.

To see all three videos and experience the evolution of the project from 2015 to today, please visit our website at https://www.rkvisual.ca/springbank
