Stormwater retention for an industrial site

Stormwater retention and flow control for an industrial project.
Site servicing: sewer, water and municipal connections
Design of sanitary and storm sewers, water services and connections to municipal networks, with an assessment of pumping needs when grades require it.
Sanitary sewer
The sanitary network carries the building’s wastewater to the municipal sewer. Its design accounts for the building’s elevations, the minimum required slopes, the depth of the existing sewer and access for maintenance.
Storm sewer
The storm network collects roof and surface water and conveys it, within the allowable flow, to the municipal storm sewer or another outlet. It is designed together with the retention and flow control structures.
Water service
The water service connection supplies the building with drinking water. We design it in coordination with the building engineers and according to the municipality’s requirements.
Connections to municipal networks
The connection is often where the project meets the real constraints of the site: a municipal sewer that is shallower than expected, or one with limited capacity, can call the building’s elevations into question. We check these points early, ideally at the first sketches.
Common issues
- Position and depth of existing networks
- Available capacity
- Building and street elevations
- Municipal connection requirements
Know early whether pumping is needed
When grades do not allow gravity flow to the municipal network, pumping may be required. We assess that need from the sketch stage, define the civil criteria (flows, elevations, discharge point) and coordinate the installation with mechanical, electrical and the other disciplines.
