Project Experience

Client

City of Richmond Hill

Challenge

The City needed close technical oversight and clear communication to keep a complex water and wastewater network modelling project on schedule and on budget.

Solution

Tracked schedule, budget, and invoicing at the task level, directed EIT staff, and routed technical questions to subject-matter experts while maintaining responsive client communication.

Result

Project delivered on schedule and within budget, with a strong, responsive working relationship maintained with the client throughout.

Client

City of Brantford

Challenge

A multi-year Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for elevated water storage required coordination across engineering, environmental, and planning disciplines plus multiple sub-consultants.

Solution

Led technical project meetings, managed scope, budget, and schedule, and coordinated technical staff and sub-consultants to complete all required memorandums and deliverables.

Result

Successful completion of the multi-year Class EA Study, with all key technical deliverables and stakeholder communications managed end-to-end.

Client

Lambton Area Water Supply System (LAWSS)

Challenge

LAWSS needed an updated Master Plan to guide infrastructure investment, requiring close coordination with the client and oversight of junior engineering staff.

Solution

Managed schedule, budget, and invoicing at the task level, provided direction to EIT staff, and maintained a responsive relationship with the client.

Result

Master Plan Update delivered to support LAWSS's long-term infrastructure investment decisions.

Client

Lambton Area Water Supply System (LAWSS)

Challenge

LAWSS required a long-range servicing strategy to accommodate 20 years of growth while keeping infrastructure costs manageable.

Solution

Coordinated hydraulic modelling of interim servicing strategies and infrastructure phasing, and developed conceptual cost estimates for the preferred alternatives.

Result

A phased, cost-estimated 20-year servicing strategy delivered to guide LAWSS's growth planning.

Client

City of Toronto

Challenge

The City needed to reduce non-revenue water losses across a large pressure district without disrupting service.

Solution

Used an InfoWater hydraulic model across Pressure Districts 1, 1W, and 2 to test District Metered Area scenarios and assess their impact on the distribution system.

Result

Recommendations delivered for DMA implementation and system optimization to reduce water loss.

Client

Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) / Lambton County

Challenge

Alvinston required an integration plan to connect into the LAWSS system, with a clear work plan and disciplined budget management needed to keep the project on track.

Solution

Directed junior staff, developed a work plan aligned with client needs, and managed budget and schedule through to final report delivery.

Result

Final integration report delivered to the client on time and within budget.

Client

Lambton Area Water Supply System (LAWSS)

Challenge

The existing WaterCAD model could not simulate system performance over time, limiting LAWSS's ability to plan for variable demand conditions.

Solution

Converted the existing model into an Extended Period Simulation (EPS) model capable of running time-based hydraulic scenarios.

Result

LAWSS gained a time-based hydraulic model to support more accurate operational and planning decisions.

Client

City of Brampton

Challenge

Proposed flood protection landforms in the downtown core risked conflicting with existing water, sanitary, and storm sewer infrastructure.

Solution

Advised the environmental planning team on existing infrastructure conditions and assessed potential impacts of the proposed landforms.

Result

Infrastructure-informed guidance delivered to support the Class EA Study and reduce risk of conflict with existing services.

Client

City of Toronto

Challenge

The City's hydraulic model needed updating to reflect current GIS data and correct prior deficiencies.

Solution

Performed macro- and micro-level calibration using InfoWater software and updated the model based on current GIS data.

Result

A calibrated, GIS-aligned hydraulic model delivered for more reliable system analysis.

Client

Region of Peel

Challenge

The Region's hydraulic model needed to be brought up to date with current GIS data to remain a reliable planning tool.

Solution

Led the technical update using InfoWater and ArcGIS, coordinated data acquisition with the Region, and managed the calibration process.

Result

An updated and calibrated hydraulic model delivered to support the Region's ongoing infrastructure planning.

Client

Region of Peel

Challenge

New development blocks required a servicing strategy that met the Region's design criteria for water distribution.

Solution

Updated the hydraulic model with the new watermain network, assigned demand based on projected population and land use, and ran analyses to identify the best servicing strategy.

Result

A servicing strategy delivered that met Region of Peel design criteria for the new development blocks.

Client

City of Markham

Challenge

A planned watermain relocation needed to be verified for performance under peak and emergency demand conditions.

Solution

Conducted hydraulic analysis under maximum day demand and maximum day demand plus fire flow scenarios using InfoWater.

Result

Confirmed hydraulic performance of the relocated watermain under all required demand scenarios.

Client

City of Markham

Challenge

The City wanted to reduce water loss and improve system monitoring but lacked a defined approach for implementing District Metered Areas.

Solution

Analyzed the distribution system to identify candidate DMA zones, developed a preliminary design and phasing plan, and presented findings to senior City staff.

Result

A phased DMA implementation plan accepted by City of Markham senior staff.

Client

Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA)

Challenge

The airport's water network needed an updated demand model and a clear picture of supply redundancy for critical facilities.

Solution

Updated the Region of Peel hydraulic model with GTAA watermain data, assigned demand from bulk meter billing records, and performed a desktop criticality analysis.

Result

An updated hydraulic model and redundancy assessment delivered to strengthen supply reliability for critical airport facilities.

Client

City of Markham

Challenge

The City's hydraulic model contained deficiencies that limited its reliability for planning and operational decisions.

Solution

Prepared a flow balance worksheet, performed macro- and micro-level calibration using InfoWater, and updated the model based on GIS data.

Result

A calibrated model delivered to the client, earning a Client Satisfaction Score of 9/10.
