Environmental Engineering
Sustainable engineering solutions for the protection of your environmental resources.
At GM BluePlan, we are committed to the protection of our environment and drinking water sources. We understand the challenges of managing, protecting, and conserving our environmental resources, including our water resources, to ensure a sustainable future for our communities.
Our environmental engineering practice provides a broad range of engineering services, in addition to supporting our municipal engineering and infrastructure planning teams. Common drivers for our environmental work include due diligence, planning and development requirements, best practice, and regulatory and compliance requirements.
Over the years, our environmental services have specialized to support municipal and land development projects, with a particular focus on brownfield sites, commercial and industrial activities, waste disposal and landfill site management, property transfer needs, and water resource challenges within communities and infrastructure projects.
Our Multi-Disciplinary Team
Each environmental engineering project is supported by our broad, diverse, and multi-disciplinary team, including experts in hydraulics, hydrology, geology, hydrogeology, and other core environmental specialties. Our project experience includes municipal clients, private clients, and many relevant stakeholders and approval agencies.
Our specialists have in-depth experience with infrastructure design and construction, and regulatory requirements as enforced by the MECP and the TSSA. We leverage our in-depth experience delivering environmental assignments across Ontario to provide each project with enhanced value.
