Our team's proficiency in conceptualizing Engineered Site Grading, Drainage, Erosion/Sediment/Siltation Contol designs and plans in accordance with our clients' requirements has made us very successful. Our licensed professional engineers prepare thorough, detailed, and clear Site Grading Plan (Lot Grading Plan), Drainage Plan, Erosion / Sediment / Siltation Control Plan and Site Servicing Plan to suit our client's needs while also adhering to design requirements of the municipality/conservation authority and submit to municipality for review and approval to obtain site plan approvals and building permits.
Combining our knowledge in Municipal Engineering, extensive experience in Lot Grading Plan, Drainage Plan and Erosion/Sediment Control Plan and expertise in innovative unique, distinctive & cost effective designs, our engineers offer perfect solution to our clients. Since our licensed Professional Engineers certify the site grading (lot grading), drainage and erosion and sediment control plans and drawings they are filing for site plan approval and building permit are in compliance with Ontario Building Code, Municipal By-laws and Regional Government Authority Requirements, municipal plan review process for Site Plan Approval and Building Permit is always much faster.
We prepare lot grading plans
The grading design for residential lots shall be as follows:
➢ A maximum of four rear yards or 0.1 ha may drain to a single swale
➢ Sufficient fall shall be available between the adjacent streets to achieve desired grades for swales and yards
➢ Cut-off swales along the rear lot lines shall direct runoff from the upper lots into the lower lot side yard swales
Proposed and existing elevations shall be shown at all lot corners as a minimum. Additional grading information shall be provided as per the municipal standards.
Swales
➢ Maximum swale depth= 300 mm
➢ Minimum swale depth = 150 mm
➢ Maximum length of rear yard swale shall be 4 lots width or 50 m whichever is less
The existing and proposed elevations shall relate to a geodetic benchmark. Grading shall be performed so as to preserve existing trees, where possible. A 0.6 m minimum undisturbed strip shall be maintained along all sides and rear lot boundaries. During infill construction, siltation control methods shall be undertaken around the lot perimeter to prevent erosion and sedimentation on adjacent lots. Grades shall be compatible with adjacent road grades, abutting lots and any proposed local improvements
The capacity and alignment of boundary swales shall not adversely affect adjacent lots. The contractor must perform all necessary works to ensure that no surface drainage problems are created on or adjacent to private or public lots because of their development. Site Grading Plans shall generally be prepared at a scale acceptable to the municipality unless clarity of presentation dictates otherwise. The following information shall be shown on each Lot Grading Plan:
The Site Grading Plan (Lot Grading Plan) prepared by our licensed professional engineers specializing in municipal engineering will illustrate how the lot will be graded to provide erosion and sediment (siltation) protection during the construction phase; how the final lot grading will ensure positive draining away from all buildings; how the rainfall runoff will be directed to an approved outlet; and that the site grading is compatible with the neighbouring lots. The site grading plan (lot grading plan) is to be implemented in a fashion to allow stormwater management to be implemented using both the minor and major drainage systems. Improper site grading of the lot can result in poor surface drainage, ponding or flooding around the basement wall, foundation settlement or other damage, and basement dampness and other undesirable effects.
Site Grading Plan typically includes the following:
General lot grading information including the existing and proposed elevations at 6 m intervals along lot lines, driveways, sidewalks and walkways and trees to be preserved, including all trees on adjacent lots within 6 m of subject site’s lot lines, proposed elevation at 6 m intervals along all building and structure perimeters and building entrances, storm and surface water drainage directions, site ponding limits with corresponding control volumes and control facilities, major overland and emergency overland flow routes, soil retention and/or replacement details
Sediment (Siltation) and erosion control measures applied during construction Location and identification of trees protected under municipal by-laws
Location of tree protection zones (where trees are being retained & protected) Tree protection plan notes (where trees are being retained & protected) Buried watercourses, if applicable
An apron of no less than 2% slope, and a minimum width of 2 to 4 m is required around all building envelopes. In areas where the soils have a minimum percolation rate of 15 mm/hr, and the swales are being implemented as a storm water quality management feature, the minimum slope may be reduced to 1% in some areas. Swales to be designed to convey the 4 hr - 25 mm Chicago storm and maintain a velocity less than or equal to 0.5 m/s. The treatable flow length must be maximized to provide for proper pretreatment of flows. Check dams should be implemented to enhance pretreatment and provide additional infiltration for baseflow enhancement, where applicable
The following standard notes are placed on the Lot Grading Plan:
Proper site grading (lot grading), drainage, and erosion/sediment/siltation control plans are prepared to fit within the constraints of the lot, creating cost-effective site specific plans to meet municipal and /or region requirements. The Site Grading (Lot Grading), Drainage and Erosion/Sediment/Siltation Control Plan prepared by our licensed professional engineers specializing in municipal engineering will illustrate how the lot will be graded to provide erosion and sediment/siltation protection during the construction phase; how the final lot grading will ensure positive draining away from all buildings; how the rainfall runoff will be directed to an approved outlet; and that the lot grading is compatible with the neighbouring lots.

Engineered Site Grading and Drainage Plan (Lot Grading and Drainage Plan) for Multi Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Institutional lot will cost $2,475.
We need the following to prepare the required site grading and drainage plan (lot grading and drainage plan):
CAD drawing of the site plan showing the following details:
CAD drawing of the topographic survey showing the elevations of the following:
Architectural & Structural Drawings showing
Site Servicing Plan Showing
Arborist Report & Landscape Architect Drawings Showing
If applicable, locations of any regulatory flood lines or development limit lines (i.e. setback and slope stability limits from the Conservation Authority and/or MTO)
Upon receiving all required documents and information, the site grading drawings and plans will be ready in 10 business days.
Review of the final lot grading would cost $495 and final lot grading compliance certificate for residential projects including custom build homes and additions will cost $295.
All design drawings and reports for Site Grading and Site Erosion /Sediment Control Plan will be endorsed by our licensed Professional Civil Engineer, specializing in Municipal Engineering.
As the engineered site grading and storm water management designs are inter-related it is recommended that the engineer and/or engineering firm that designs the site grading also should develop the storm water management scheme.
