Site Development

Survey control, utility locating, environmental limits, access, erosion and sediment controls, tree or feature protection, and temporary drainage are established before stripping or demolition begins. Road base, curbs, slabs, paving, line marking, landscaping interfaces, and permanent drainage are completed in a sequence that preserves clean access and protects tested underground systems.

The governing document set is approved municipal engineering criteria, applicable OPSS and OPSD documents, the 2024 Ontario Building Code, O. Reg. 406/19, O. Reg. 213/91, utility owner standards, and the geotechnical specification. Fill type, lift thickness, moisture conditioning, compaction target, proof rolling, and testing frequency come from the geotechnical report and project earthworks specification.

The price responds to earthwork balance, unsuitable soil, groundwater, disposal and reuse criteria, utility depth and size, rock, shoring, road area, stormwater facilities, traffic access, winter conditions, and authority requirements. Installing services without corridor coordination causes crossings and elevation conflicts. Composite utility review and field daylighting verify routes before production trenching.

The controlling schedule factors are permits, utility relocations, soil and groundwater conditions, haul capacity, weather, dewatering, underground testing, building release dates, concrete cure, paving season, and final authority inspections. Survey control, utility locating, environmental limits, access, erosion and sediment controls, tree or feature protection, and temporary drainage are established before stripping or demolition begins.

Yes. Redevelopment and expansion sites are divided into operating and construction zones with temporary roads, barriers, drainage, utility bypasses, delivery windows, and staged turnover planned with the facility team. Uncontrolled surface water saturates subgrade and delays every following trade. Temporary swales, sumps, pumps, stable access, and progressive drainage installation keep the site workable.

We track survey control, excavation and fill quantities, soil tickets, density tests, pipe and structure elevations, leakage and pressure tests, CCTV, concrete tests, granular depths, asphalt records, and final as-built information. Fill type, lift thickness, moisture conditioning, compaction target, proof rolling, and testing frequency come from the geotechnical report and project earthworks specification.

Provide civil, grading, servicing, landscape, electrical, and structural drawings, geotechnical and environmental reports, survey, utility records, approvals, quantity schedules, phasing, access restrictions, and target building release dates.
