Client: Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury
The Simcoe Road Urbanization Project involved the urbanization and reconstruction of Simcoe Road, including the installation of new storm and sanitary sewers, culvert reconstruction, replacement of 1.3 km of watermain, as well as a new dual sanitary forcemain (3.7 km, with 1.2 km using horizontal directional drilling) to service a proposed development. The project included the co-ordination of the following sub-consultants: an Electrical Consultant, an Environmental Consultant, a Landscape Architect, a Geotechnical Consultant, a Subsurface Utility Engineering Consultant and an Archaeological Consultant.
The project presented several environmental challenges due to the proximity to natural watercourses and a dense wooded area. Key elements of the project included stakeholder management, traffic management, construction staging and watermain commissioning plans, watercourse re-alignment, obtaining necessary permits and approvals, and the design of a 3.7 km long multi-use path for the local community’s recreational use.

We undertook the complete design process, ensuring the development of an effective and sustainable infrastructure solution for Simcoe Road.

Contract Administration and Site Inspection:
We provided diligent contract administration services, overseeing project execution and conducting thorough on-site inspections to ensure compliance with specifications and regulations.
