What we design
Six disciplines, applied to land development, industrial facilities, municipal infrastructure and transportation projects across Alberta and British Columbia.
Site grading & earthworks
Grading design driven by the earthwork result. We model the existing terrain from the survey, test finished-grade alternatives against it, and steer the design toward balance inside the constraints that cannot move — tie-in elevations, servicing inverts, slope limits and accessibility requirements.
Scope
- Mass grading & terrain modelling
- Cut/fill volume calculation
- Mass haul analysis & phasing
- Earthwork balance optimization
- Lot, pad & road grading
- Construction sequencing
Stormwater management
Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis through to the outlet structure. Release rates are set by the governing municipal standard; storage follows from the outlet design, which is where a constrained site is usually won or lost.
Scope
- Hydrologic & hydraulic modelling
- Detention & retention pond design
- Outlet structures & spillways
- Storm sewer & drainage design
- Erosion & sediment control plans
- IDF analysis & flood routing
Road & access design
Geometric design for roads, intersections and industrial access, designed around the vehicle that will actually use it. Swept path analysis at every turn, grades that loaded trucks can hold in winter, and cross drainage wherever the road cuts a flow path.
Scope
- Road & highway geometric design
- Intersection design & analysis
- Industrial & truck access design
- Swept path / turning analysis
- Culvert & cross drainage design
- Corridor modelling
Industrial site development
Facilities where the grading, containment, drainage and access constrain each other. We resolve them as one system — starting from the clean/contaminated drainage split and the containment footprint, because those are the hardest constraints and they consume the most land.
Scope
- Facility grading & site design
- Secondary containment design
- Containment volume verification
- Process area drainage
- Access & circulation design
- Utility corridor coordination
Municipal infrastructure
Subdivision and land development engineering through municipal approval. Approval coordination runs alongside the design rather than after it, so the approach is agreed before the drawings are finalised.
Scope
- Municipal road & servicing design
- Water & sanitary sewer design
- Subdivision site servicing
- Development constraints analysis
- Approval submission packages
- Comment response & resubmission
Civil 3D & construction support
Model production and the engineering that continues after the drawings are issued. Where the model goes to the contractor for machine control it becomes a construction document, which raises the standard it has to meet.
Scope
- Surface & corridor modelling
- Earthwork quantity calculation
- IFC / IFA drawing production
- Design review & RFI response
- Field engineering & site inspection
- As-built & record drawings
How a project runs
Consultation
Scope, objectives, timeline, and the regulatory environment the project sits in.
Site assessment
Terrain analysis, existing conditions, utility review, and the constraints that will bound the design.
Preliminary design
Conceptual alternatives tested against the constraints, with the cost consequences of each made explicit.
Detailed design
IFC drawings, specifications, calculations and the regulatory submission package.
Construction support
RFI responses, site inspections, field engineering, and as-built documentation.
Tell us about the site
Send the constraints, the timeline and what you already know. We will tell you what the engineering actually involves — and if we are not the right fit, we will say so.
