Cooper Construction, a design/build, construction management, and ICI development company based in Oakville, engaged our Private Services team for a comprehensive onsite water and wastewater system design for an industrial development south of Guelph, just north of Highway 401. The project consists of two 38,950 m2 (419,250 square feet) warehouses, built to spec for future tenants.

For water system design, Crozier’s Private Servicing and Hydrogeology teams coordinated the installation of a water supply well to service both warehouse buildings in partnership with Banks Groundwater Engineering. This involved completing a water supply assessment of the area to assess the feasibility of servicing the development via a water supply well, and providing recommendations on depth and construction to intercept the target aquifer. Our team also designed and oversaw the well pumping test per Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) requirements, obtained the required MECP permission, and analyzed the testing data. Our team is currently assisting with the water servicing design, which involves specifying the well pumps and cistern to provide backup water storage for the warehouses.
For the wastewater system design, Crozier supported Cooper Construction with the design and approval for two onsite sewage systems to service the warehouse buildings. This involved providing an onsite sewage system design to support the Site Plan Approval with the Township of Puslinch, preparation of a hydrogeological study and impact assessment for the MECP to assess the impact of the proposed sewage systems on surrounding properties and determine the level of wastewater treatment required, followed by detailed design of the onsite sewage systems and applying for an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) with the MECP to permit operation and construction of the sewage works. Each onsite sewage system consists of an advanced wastewater treatment system, with subsurface discharge of treated effluent to a leaching bed sized for 49,500 L/day. Crozier has also been retained to oversee construction of the sewage works, ensuring compliance with design specifications and regulatory requirements.
This industrial development project, now in the final stages of construction, stand as a testament to the ingenuity and creative engineering solutions provided by Crozier’s Private Services and Hydrogeology Teams.
