CIVIL ENGINEERING
Site Servicing & Infrastructure Design:
Water Supply Systems: Design of water distribution networks, pressure calculations, fire flow analysis, and connection to municipal mains.
Sanitary Sewer Systems: Design of gravity and pressure sanitary sewers, pumping stations, and connections to municipal systems.
Storm Sewer Systems: Design of storm sewer networks, culverts, and outfalls, including hydraulic analysis.
Utility Coordination: Management and coordination with various utility providers (e.g., Hydro, Enbridge Gas, fiber, cable & telecommunications) for new connections and relocations.
Stormwater Management (SWM):
Stormwater Management Reports & Design: Development of comprehensive SWM plans, including quantity and quality control, pre- and post-development runoff analysis.
Low Impact Development (LID) Design: Integration of sustainable SWM practices such as permeable pavements, bio-swales, rain gardens, green roofs, and infiltration trenches.
Stormwater Management Pond Design: Design of wet, dry, and hybrid SWM ponds for detention and water quality treatment.
Erosion & Sediment Control Plans (ESCP): Design of measures to prevent soil erosion and control sediment runoff during construction.
Site Grading & Earthworks:
Cut and Fill Analysis: Optimization of site grading to balance earthwork volumes and minimize off-site hauling.
Site Layout & Design: Conceptual and detailed site plans, including parking layouts, access routes, and pedestrian pathways.
Drainage Plans: Design to ensure positive drainage away from structures and prevent ponding.
Road & Transportation Engineering:
Roadway Design: Design of municipal roads, private access roads, parking lots, and intersections.
Geometric Design: Horizontal and vertical alignment, superelevation, and sight distance analysis.
Traffic Impact Studies (TIS): Assessment of proposed development impacts on traffic flow and recommendations for mitigation.
Parking Lot Design: Layout, drainage, and lighting integration for various vehicle types.
Hydraulic & Hydrologic Analysis:
Flood Plain Mapping & Delineation: Identifying flood-prone areas and assessing development constraints.
Culvert and Bridge Hydraulics: Design and analysis of hydraulic structures.
Water Balance Studies: Analyzing the movement of water on a site for sustainable design.
Due Diligence & Feasibility Studies:
Site selection analysis, preliminary servicing assessments, and identification of potential civil constraints.
Construction Administration & Support:
Construction site reviews, RFI responses, shop drawing review related to civil works.
Expedited Approvals & Regulatory Compliance: Our deep understanding of Municipal complex planning policies, zoning bylaws, Municipal engineering standards, and regulations means your project navigates the approval process smoother and faster, avoiding costly delays.
Optimized Site Development: We transform challenging sites into functional and efficient spaces. Our grading and servicing designs maximize usable area, minimize earthwork costs, and ensure optimal drainage and access.
Sustainable & Resilient Infrastructure: Beyond compliance, we design civil infrastructure that is sustainable, resilient, and future-proof. Our expertise in Low Impact Development (LID) and advanced stormwater management techniques protects the environment and reduces long-term maintenance costs for your development.
Risk Mitigation & Problem Prevention: Our proactive approach identifies potential civil constraints and environmental risks early in the design phase, allowing us to implement innovative solutions that prevent costly issues during construction and operation.
Integrated Design Synergy: As part of a multidisciplinary team, our civil engineers collaborate seamlessly with our architectural, structural, and electrical teams. This integrated approach ensures that site constraints inform building design, utility connections are planned efficiently, and all elements work in harmony for a truly cohesive project.
Cost-Efficiency Through Smart Design: We apply value engineering principles to civil design, optimizing materials, earthwork, and infrastructure layouts to achieve maximum functionality at the most cost-effective price, while maintaining high quality.
