Industrial Park for Met Group Inc.

Location - Project is located on 67 St. and 72A Ave in City of Edmonton.

Project Description

The owner is developing 14 Lot (65 acre) Industrial Park in East Davies Industrial Neighbourhood. As most of the surrounding lands are already developed there were many constraints on the development. Water, sewer and roads were either already in place or provided by the City through a local improvement. Sameng was commissioned to provide design and construction supervision services for lot grading and stormwater systems. A constructed wetland stormwater pond was designed to provide adequate flood control and water quality improvements. The pond features a gabion drop structure inlet and outlets to the City Stormwater system.

    EFFECTS OF SHERWOOD PARK DEVELOPMENTS ON OLDMAN CREEK -1993

    Project Description

    A portion of a drainage basin of a tributary of Oldman Creek has been developed changing the land use from agricultural to residential development. The original master drainage plan for the residential development called for conventional stormwater retention ponds to be used within the residential development to manage stormwater. The County Council changed the design criteria so that natural wetlands would replace some of these storm water retention ponds. Sameng Inc. (formerly named Samide Engineering Ltd.) was retained to:

  • Determine how changing the stormwater management ponds from conventional ponds to natural wetlands would affect stormwater drainage works already in place or works proposed.
  • Determine how development would effect flows downstream and what kind on an effect altering the flows would have on the Oldman Creek tributary channel.

    Sameng Inc.:

  • Reviewed all of the residential subdivision designs in the eastern half of Sherwood Park (over 4 square miles of residential area).
  • Determined flood levels in the wetlands/retention ponds (6).
  • Determined flood discharges out of wetlands/retentions ponds.
  • Analysed the flow hydraulics within the connecting stormwater systems between wetlands/retention ponds in order to assess if the capacities of the connecting systems would be negatively affected by altering the design from conventional retention ponds to natural wetlands.
  • Developed a hydrological runoff model of the Oldman Creek Tributary which modelled runoff events from a large rural area with numerous lakes and combined the runoff events with runoff events from developed areas. This model determined how flows on the tributary of Oldman Creek would be altered as a result of development for rainfall floods and for snowmelt floods.
  • Analysed culvert capacities downstream of the wetlands/retention ponds and recommended upgrading where required.
  • Analyzed degradation potential for Oldman Creek as a result of rainfall flows being increased in both magnitude and duration.
  • Determined monitoring requirements to assess Oldman River channel regime changes.

    Yellowhead North Drainage Master Plan

    Location - Yellowhead North

    Project Description

    Sameng Inc. developed a Drainage Master Plan for the North Yellowhead Area (approximately 1550 hectares). The intent of the master plan was to provide a framework for planning and development of future drainage works and stormwater management facilities. In order to avoid water problems such as increased erosion and point source pollution, Sameng Inc. assessed the existing stormwater management systems to determine if they met present and future demands and to determine their effect on flows downstream of the study area. This plan provides a guide to detailed planning and design at the neighbourhood development stage.

    Services Provided by Sameng Inc. :

  • Data collection and literature review.
  • Inspection of drainage paths/water courses and survey watercourses.
  • Identification and documentation of areas of bed and bank erosion.
  • Assessment of the habitat quality and use by fish and wildlife within the project area and the identification of critical habitat features.
  • Identified potential environmental constraints associated with stormwater conveyance in the project area.
  • Potential storage pond location inspection, culvert size and location documentation.
  • Modeled the existing stormwater management and drainage facilities to determine its hydraulic capacity and if existing facilities could be used to provide drainage to other areas.
  • Assessment of remedial and upgrade requirements.
  • Desk-top assessment of existing information was used to provide a Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Evaluation.
  • Various conceptual stormwater management alternatives were developed taking into account the natural topography, the existing use of the land, possible future land uses, natural and man made constraints, industrial development strategy and existing wetlands and watercourses.
