We
have a spotless track record in getting government approvals for our
work projects and we are willing to beat the legitimate, written
estimates of all other competitors offering professional engineering
services. We are able to offer competitive rates, flexible based on
the work project you need completed, because we are a small firm
that keeps overhead and administrative costs to a minimum. Ready to
build? Need a Building Permit? Need a professional, high-quality
engineering service to ensure that your newest construction project
is guaranteed to comply with all government regulations and
municipal building codes? If so, then we are the company for you!
Why? Because, in an environment of continued increases in building
costs and construction, we can save you substantial fees without
compromising quality and attention to detail. We offer a
comprehensive, multi-disciplinary engineering service able to match
all of your construction project needs, including architectural,
mechanical, electrical, structural, civil, plumbing and HVAC
specializations, storm water management, functional servicing,
record of site condition (RSC) and environmental site assessments.
We have experience with residential, commercial, industrial and
institutional construction projects and offer a complete engineering
service, from the initial consultation and building development
assessment, to a thorough and interactive design process, followed
up with dedicated construction management and quality assurance.
Don't wait! Call now for a consultation and let's get building!

A
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a risk management
tool for lenders and potential purchasers of industrial, commercial,
and agricultural property. The goal of a Phase I ESA is to identify
Potential Environmental Concerns and Recognized Environmental
Conditions (REC) associated with the subject property. The Phase I
ESA process involves research into the historical land uses of the
subject and neighboring properties, research into local, provincial,
and federal regulatory environmental files and databases for the
subject property and a site reconnaissance of the subject and
neighboring properties.
The results of a Phase I ESA may indicate further assessment to
determine if a regulated environmental condition exists. Soil and
groundwater sampling is conducted during Phase II in order to
determine actual site conditions. Each Phase II ESA is designed to
help our clients make informed decisions regarding their involvement
with property. If contamination is found during the phased Site
Assessment process, the project may proceed to site characterization
and remediation if necessary.
A Record of Site Condition (RSC) sets out the environmental
condition of a property at a particular point in time, based on its
intended use. A Qualified Person prepares the RSC.
An RSC must be filed to the Brownfields Environmental Site Registry
when a property use changes from an industrial to a residential use.
Before filing an RSC, the property must be properly assessed and
shown to meet the soil, sediment and groundwater standards
applicable to the intended use for which the RSC is being filed.
Once an RSC is filed, it provides protection from some environmental
cleanup orders for property owners who want to redevelop a
brownfield site.
After a completed RSC is submitted, the Ministry of the Environment
reviews the RSC and provides the property owner with:
1. An acknowledgement that the RSC has been filed
2. A notice that the RSC has not been completed in accordance with
the regulations, or
3. A notice that the Ministry intends to conduct a technical review
before the RSC can be filed.
A developer must obtain an approval on a complete Functional
Servicing Report (FSR) prior to submitting a development application
to the Municipality.
The FSR describes the features and layout of the site development
together with the detailed engineering that demonstrates the
feasibility of the services requiring approval from the
Municipality. The FSR ensures that the proposed development can be
serviced for its intended use, and that all on-site and off-site
servicing requirements are identified. The FSR focuses on the
following:
1. Geotechnical Investigations
2. Site Grading
3. Transportation Network
4. Water Distribution System
5. Sanitary / Sewage System
6. Storm Drainage System
7. Utilities
Stormwater Management reports are often required to obtain site
plan approval for development. Stormwater Management (SWM) Report
summarizes how the proposed design will meet the SWM water balance,
water quantity and water quality requirements for the proposed
development.
A number of guidelines are available including but not limited to:
1. Stormwater Management Design Guidelines, prepared by the Cities
2. Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual, prepared by the
Ministry of Environment and Climate Change
3. Wet Weather Flow Management Guideline (WWFMG), prepared by the
City of Toronto November (2006).
Computer-aided design (CAD) programs are used for modeling the
hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) of stormwater runoff. The use of such
programs as a tool has grown as rules for managing stormwater have
become more stringent. H&H software such as HydroCAD is important in
the implementation of the Low-Impact Development approach to
stormwater management that is gaining popularity throughout the U.S.
and Canada.
In addition to the above mentioned we have many years professional
experience working in hydrodynamic and water quality studies, water
and wastewater engineering. Our interests and expertise include but
are not restricted to five problem areas:
1. Urban waste waters – treatment for use in steam and power
generation
2. Physical, chemical, biological and tertiary treatment of
wastewater
3. Treatment and management of metal-contaminated waters and wastes
4. Bioremediation and
5. Industrial waste management.
We have worked on the treatment of groundwater contaminated with
arsenic and organic material. We have been applying our expertise to
numerous projects including surface water and deep sea Geo-hazard
modeling amongst others. Our experts have used programming languages
FORTRAN and MATLAB for implementing numerical methods. We are also
experienced in the application of standard process-based transport
models including the SMS models FESWMS, RMA2 & 4, ADCIRC, M2D,
StormNET, XPSWMM, the HEC suite of models, as well as CAD, and GIS
programs. We are experienced in work place curriculum development.
We have been responsible for delivering various work-related subject
specific, technical and job specific training.
