Stormwater Management Services

WMI have established a reputation as a leader in the specialized field of stormwater management design services.
Our experienced engineers have gained the respect and acknowledgement of various local municipalities and conservation authorities through the approval of a wide range of projects.

WMI designs stormwater management solutions to meet the guidelines of the Ministry of the Environment and other governing authorities using a combination of Best Management Practices to incorporate such features as, wet ponds, wetlands, oil/grit separators, infiltration systems, etc. The Best Management Practices are generally used in conjunction with Low Impact Development (LID) features such as enhanced grass swales, permeable pavements, vegetated filter strips, bioretention systems, etc. as part of an overall treatment train approach to stormwater management. In addition, WMI also provides stormwater management design solutions to meet and obtain the latest LEED credits associated with both quality and quantity control for sustainable development.

WMI utilizes practical knowledge field assessments, updated mapping techniques and industry accepted hydrologic and hydraulic modelling applications in the design of their stormwater management systems.
Over the years guidelines and requirements in the industry may have changed, however, our commitment remains the same.
We provide competent, efficient, and specialized designs that meet site specific needs while using the industries design standards to obtain quick and cost effective solutions to stormwater management.

Field Assessment

Field assessment services involve thorough site evaluations to ensure optimal planning and execution of civil engineering projects. Our experienced team conducts detailed inspections and environmental assessments to address site-specific challenges for water, wastewater, stormwater, and road infrastructure developments. These assessments provide critical data to support informed decision-making, ensuring compliance and sustainability for private developers and municipalities in Ontario.

Erosion And Sedimentation Control Assessments

Erosion and sedimentation control assessments involve evaluating site conditions to develop effective strategies that minimize soil erosion and manage sediment runoff during construction and development projects. Our team designs tailored control measures, such as silt fences, sediment basins, and vegetative buffers, to protect water quality and ensure regulatory compliance. These assessments provide critical insights to support sustainable land development and infrastructure projects for private developers and municipalities in Ontario.

Storm Sewer System Design

Storm sewer system design involves creating efficient and sustainable drainage systems to manage stormwater runoff, preventing flooding and protecting water quality. Our team develops customized solutions, including pipes, catch basins, and retention systems, tailored to site-specific conditions and regulatory requirements. These designs ensure effective stormwater management for private land developers and municipalities in Ontario, supporting resilient and compliant infrastructure projects.

Assessment And Mitigation Of Development Impacts

Assessment and mitigation of development impacts involve evaluating the environmental, social, and infrastructural effects of proposed projects to ensure sustainable outcomes. Our team conducts thorough studies to identify potential impacts and designs targeted mitigation strategies, such as habitat restoration or drainage enhancements, to minimize adverse effects. These services support private developers and municipalities in Ontario by promoting compliance and environmentally responsible land development.

Site Stormwater Management Design

Site stormwater management design involves creating tailored systems to effectively control and treat stormwater runoff, ensuring environmental protection and regulatory compliance. Our team designs solutions such as retention ponds, permeable pavements, and bioswales to manage runoff volume and quality for specific site conditions. These designs support sustainable development for private land developers and municipalities in Ontario, minimizing flooding and environmental impact.

Natural Hazard (Flood & Erosion) Assessments Including Mapping And Modelling

Natural hazard assessments for flood and erosion involve detailed evaluations using advanced mapping and modeling techniques to identify risks and vulnerabilities in development areas. Our team employs hydrologic and hydraulic models to simulate flood scenarios and erosion patterns, providing accurate data to inform design and mitigation strategies. These assessments ensure safe, compliant, and sustainable project planning for private developers and municipalities in Ontario.

Design Of Natural Channels And Watercourses

Design of natural channels and watercourses involves creating or restoring stream and river systems to enhance ecological function, stability, and aesthetic value while managing water flow. Our team integrates hydraulic modeling and environmental considerations to design sustainable channels that support aquatic habitats and meet regulatory standards. These designs promote resilient and environmentally sensitive solutions for private land developers and municipalities in Ontario.

Traffic Impact Assessment

A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) evaluates the potential effects of a proposed development on local transportation infrastructure, ensuring safe and efficient traffic flow. At WMI & Associates Limited, our TIAs provide comprehensive analysis and recommendations to mitigate congestion, enhance accessibility, and meet municipal requirements for land development projects. Conducted by our experienced team of Professional Engineers, these assessments support private developers and municipalities in achieving sustainable and well-integrated urban solutions.
