Sewage System Installation and Decommissioning: Protecting Ontario’s Water and Environment

Introduction

Every property — from residential developments to industrial facilities — depends on a properly designed and maintained sewage system to protect public health and the environment.

At Canadian Shield Consulting Agency (CSCA), we specialize in Sewage System Installation and Decommissioning Services across Ontario, ensuring that wastewater systems are designed, constructed, and retired safely and in full compliance with provincial regulations.

Based in St-Charles, Ontario, CSCA serves municipalities, developers, and private landowners throughout Sudbury District, North Bay, Timmins, and Northern Ontario with trusted, professional environmental engineering solutions.


The Importance of Proper Sewage System Management

A well-designed and maintained sewage system is critical to protecting Ontario’s groundwater, surface water, and public health.

Whether you’re installing a new system for a commercial facility or decommissioning an outdated septic tank, professional engineering oversight ensures:

  • Regulatory compliance with Ontario Building Code (OBC) and MECP standards
  • Environmental protection by preventing groundwater contamination
  • System longevity through proper design and construction
  • Safety and sustainability during decommissioning or system replacement

CSCA provides both new system installations and safe decommissioning services, offering complete project management from permitting to final inspection.


Sewage System Installation Services

Installing a new sewage system requires careful planning, environmental understanding, and compliance with Ontario’s Building Code Part 8 and MECP regulations.

At Canadian Shield Consulting Agency, our licensed environmental engineers handle every step of the process to ensure your system operates efficiently and sustainably.

1. Site Evaluation and Soil Testing

We begin with a detailed site and soil assessment to determine soil permeability, groundwater table elevation, and system suitability. This ensures that the system is designed to function safely under local conditions.

2. System Design and Permitting

Our engineers prepare custom sewage system designs — including conventional septic systems, tertiary treatment units, and advanced biofilter systems — to meet your property’s needs and regulatory requirements.

We also manage all permit applications and coordinate with municipal building departments and the MECP to ensure a smooth approval process.

3. Construction and Installation

CSCA’s construction team provides full system installation services, including excavation, tank placement, leaching bed construction, and connection to existing plumbing systems.

All work is completed to Ontario Building Code standards with a focus on safety, quality, and environmental protection.

4. System Start-Up and Inspection

After installation, we perform system start-up testing and inspections to verify functionality and compliance, ensuring your sewage system is ready for safe, long-term operation.


Sewage System Decommissioning Services

When a sewage or septic system reaches the end of its lifespan, it must be decommissioned properly to prevent contamination and comply with Ontario’s environmental standards.

CSCA provides safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible sewage system decommissioning across Ontario.

Our process includes:

  • Assessment of existing system components
  • Pumping and removal of remaining sewage or sludge
  • Tank cleaning, crushing, or removal
  • Backfilling and site restoration
  • Proper documentation and regulatory reporting

We ensure all decommissioning work complies with Ontario Building Code Part 8 and MECP environmental guidelines, safeguarding your property and surrounding ecosystems.


Environmental Responsibility in Every Project

As an environmental engineering firm, CSCA takes a sustainable approach to every sewage system project.

We focus on:

  • Protecting groundwater and surface water resources
  • Minimizing soil disturbance during installation and excavation
  • Using environmentally friendly materials and practices
  • Ensuring compliance with all provincial and municipal environmental regulations

By integrating environmental engineering expertise with construction experience, CSCA delivers reliable, compliant, and sustainable wastewater management solutions throughout Ontario.
