Construction Services – Canadian Shield Consultants, Ontario, Canada
Engineering construction services encompass design, permitting, and construction of wastewater systems (septic tanks, biofilters, pumping stations), site preparation, grading, and infrastructure development for residential, commercial, mining, and tourism projects. Canadian Shield Consultants provides end-to-end solutions, including Environmental Compliance Approvals (ECAs), soil testing, and installation of systems like EZflow and Ecoflo® Biofilters, tailored to Ontario’s rocky Canadian Shield terrain.
Our services ensure compliance with OBC Part 8 and MECP regulations, reducing environmental fines up to $100,000 while enhancing project durability by 20-50% through expert design. We minimize costs by optimizing site layouts, cutting excavation expenses in rocky soils by 30%, and offer rapid deployment with helicopter access for remote Northern Ontario sites. Canadian Shield Consultants delivers sustainable, long-lasting infrastructure for cottages, mining camps, and First Nations communities.
All projects adhere to OBC Part 8, MECP’s Clean Water Act, and O. Reg. 675/98 for wastewater systems, ensuring proper setbacks (e.g., 15 m from water bodies) and effluent quality (TSS/CBOD5 <10 mg/L). We secure ECAs, conduct mandatory soil percolation tests, and design systems to meet 25-year flood-proofing standards. Our OOWA membership guarantees compliance, avoiding costly environmental orders or cleanup liabilities.
We specialize in:
Septic and Wastewater Systems: Design and installation of septic tanks, pumping stations, and biofilters for homes, businesses, and remote camps.
Site Development: Clearing, grading, and drainage for subdivisions, industrial sites, and First Nations lands.
Infrastructure: Roads, culverts, and utility installations for mining and tourism sectors. Our services suit Northern Ontario’s bedrock-heavy and sloped terrains, integrating eco-friendly technologies like EZflow for sustainable wastewater management.
Yes, we prioritize sustainability by using recycled materials (e.g., EZflow’s polystyrene aggregates), minimizing land disturbance, and ensuring zero leaching into Ontario’s waterways. Our designs meet Clean Water Act standards, protecting the Canadian Shield’s ecosystems, with low-energy systems like gravity-fed septic reducing carbon footprints. Canadian Shield Consultants supports green infrastructure for First Nations and sensitive ecological zones.
Projects feature CSA-approved materials (e.g., polyethylene/concrete septic tanks, PVC piping), designed for -40°C winters and 20-50 year lifespans. Wastewater systems handle 500-10,000 L/day, with pumps operating at 1-4 psi for pressurized dosing. Site grading ensures <2% slopes for drainage, per OBC, and we use GPS-guided equipment for precision in rocky terrains, ensuring MECP-compliant installations.
Our turn-key process includes:
Site Assessment: Soil tests, topography analysis, and ECA applications.
Design: Customized plans for septic systems, roads, or drainage, meeting OBC/MECP standards.
Construction: Excavation, system installation, and grading, with helicopter access for remote sites.
Inspection: Post-construction checks for compliance and performance. Projects are completed in 3-10 days, minimizing disruption in Sudbury and Northern Ontario.
Constructed systems last 20-50 years with proper care (e.g., septic tank pumping every 3-5 years, annual pump/filter checks). Infrastructure like roads or culverts requires minimal upkeep with proper drainage design. Canadian Shield Consultants offers OOWA-certified maintenance contracts, ensuring long-term reliability and avoiding repairs costing $5,000-$20,000 in Ontario’s harsh climates.
Since 1996, we’ve completed over 1,000 projects, holding four pre-approved ECAs for mobile wastewater units and full liability insurance. As OOWA members, we deliver tailored, eco-conscious solutions: “Gerry and his crew are our ‘Go To’ for construction excellence in Northern Ontario.” Our expertise in septic systems, site prep, and infrastructure ensures compliance and durability for mining, tourism, and residential clients.
