Civil Engineering
We design everything below and around the building: grading, drainage, servicing, roads and parking, so the site works on day one and for decades after.
Our approach
Civil engineering often decides whether a site plan is approved and how much a project costs to service. We prepare grading and servicing plans, stormwater management reports and erosion and sediment control plans that meet municipal and conservation authority requirements, and we coordinate them with the architecture so the building and the site are designed together.
What we deliver
Site grading and drainage
Lot grading plans that move water away from buildings and neighbouring properties.
Site servicing
Water, sanitary and storm connections sized and designed to municipal standards.
Stormwater management
Quantity and quality control, including on-site storage, infiltration and low-impact development measures.
Erosion and sediment control
Plans that protect watercourses and neighbouring land during construction.
Roads, driveways and parking
Layouts, pavement design and accessible routes for vehicles and pedestrians.
Approvals support
Reports and drawings for site plan control, conservation authority permits and municipal review.
Lot grading certification
Site inspections and certificates confirming the work was built as designed.
Drainage investigations
Finding and fixing the cause of flooding, ponding and wet basements.
Typical projects
- Infill residential lots
- Townhouse and low-rise developments
- Commercial and industrial sites
- Parking lots and access roads
- Severances and new lots
- Drainage problems on existing properties
How it works
Site investigation
Existing grades, services, soils and drainage patterns are reviewed and surveyed.
Concept layout
Building location, access and servicing routes are set out with the design team.
Detailed design
Grading, servicing and stormwater drawings and reports are completed for approval.
Construction review
We inspect the work and issue the certificates the municipality requires.
Why ASE GROUP
One team, every discipline
Design, engineering and construction in one group, so nothing falls between separate consultants.
One point of contact
A single project lead coordinates everyone involved and keeps you informed at every stage.
Designed for Ontario
Work that meets the Ontario Building Code and stands up to the Canadian climate.
