The project involved developing an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan for Old Logging Ditch andBurrows Ditch Watersheds that includes agricultural areas in the north and residential areas in the south. Theobjective of the ISMP was to recommend stormwater management strategies for the upper development thatalso conforms to the lowland management strategy. Major responsibilities included detail hydrologic andhydraulic modelling using MIKE SHE and MIKE 11 under both present and future conditions. MIKE SHE is anintegrated physically based model that simulates different physical processes i.e. infiltration, evaporation,transpiration, and runoff and integrates seamlessly with the hydraulic model in MIKE 11. Responsibilities alsoincluded cost estimates for different management strategies.

Major responsibilities included hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to develop feasible and efficient servicing strategies focusing on “low impact development”/”best management practices” to reduce runoff volume and provide runoff quality benefits for receiving watercourses. Generally NCP studies involves review of background and site information; simulating runoff conditions with computer modeling; formulating and assessing with the model alternative management strategies; coordination with City staff; reporting; and participation in consultation processes.

Port Mann / Highway 1 Design and Build Project, H5M Consortium, BC :

The Port Mann / Highway 1 Project (PMH1) upgrades the transportation corridor of Canada Highway 1 from approximately Hastings Street (Cassiar Tunnel) in Vancouver to the 200th Street Interchange in the City of Surrey, a distance of roughly 33 kilometers. In addition to constructing a new 10-lane crossing of the FraserRiver, in general the highway will be expanded from 4 to 6 (or 8) lanes and interchanges along the route will be improved. The Project includes improvements to the existing drainage infrastructure within the Project corridor in order to provide a consistent level of service throughout and to avoid or mitigate negative impacts on the highway and on adjacent lands, streams and other drainage infrastructures. Major responsibilities included modelling and assessment of integrity and capacity of the existing drainage system as well as the proposed drainage system to accommodate the proposed highway expansion and reconstruction. The work also includes development of stormwater management plan for two watersheds (out of four) impacted by the change in the existing highway design.

The Staged Master Drainage Plan includes proposed stormwater detention facilities, overland drainage routes, water quality improvement facilities, and Low Impact Developments (LID) to mitigate the impact of development on the environment.

Hyland Creek Pond 3 Feasibility Assessment, City of Surrey, BC :

The Hyland Creek Integrated Stormwater Management Plan (ISMP) (Urban Systems Ltd., 2007) recommended construction of three ponds to service this area (namely, the northern part of Zone 1 plus Zone 1A). The objectives of Hyland Creek Pond 3 Feasibility Assessment were to determine whether the need for two of these ponds could be eliminated by consolidating the detention storage on a single site in the Newton Town Centre area and what would be the impact of Pond 3 on the stream downstream in terms of erosion.

Greendale Flood Study, City of Chilliwack, BC :

In January 2009, parts of the City of Chilliwack, most notably the Greendale area, experienced severe flooding due to a combination of heavy snowfall and severe rainfall. Due to the severity and atypical nature of the flood, the City wanted to investigate the event. The primary objectives of the investigation were to find out the probable factors that caused this event, the significance of the event and potential remedies to mitigate future damages. MIKE SHE and MIKE 11 were used for the hydrologic and hydraulic modelling.

Integrated Stormwater Management Plan for Erickson Creek, City of Surrey, BC:

The project involved developing an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan for Erickson Creek watershed. This includes agricultural areas in the north and residential areas in the south. Major responsibilities included detail hydrologic and hydraulic modelling using XP-SWMM and GIS and analysis of the drainage conditions under both present and future. The objective of the ISMP was to provide stormwater management strategies for upland development that also conforms to the lowland management strategy.

Flood Plain Bylaw Analysis, City of Kelowna, BC:

The objective of this study was to analyze the 200-year flood profile along the Mill creek and to produce a feasible floodplain map that would lead to establishment of an effective floodplain bylaw in accordance with Section 910 of the Municipal Act. The study involved complex analysis of the dependencies among Mill creek, Mission creek and Okanagan lake systems. For hydraulic analysis and flood plain delineation, HEC-RAS and GIS were used. Responsibilities included management of the project, conduct analysis and provide direction/guidance to the modeller, liaison with client and preparation of the report.
