Civil Engineering

Yes. All of our civil engineering deliverables — including grading plans, drainage and stormwater management plans, and site layouts — are prepared under the supervision of professional engineers and can be P.Eng stamped for submission to municipal and provincial authorities across Alberta.

A stormwater management plan is an engineered design that controls how rainwater and snowmelt move across and leave your site, preventing flooding, erosion, and downstream impacts. Most Alberta municipalities require one for new developments, subdivisions, and many infill projects as part of the development permit or servicing approval process. We design these plans to meet local Best Management Practice requirements and target post-development runoff rates set by the reviewing authority.

A grading plan defines the proposed ground elevations and slopes that shape a site, while a drainage plan shows how surface water is collected and conveyed through swales, catch basins, sewers, and downpipes. The two are designed together: the grading establishes where water naturally flows, and the drainage plan manages that flow so the site stays safe and compliant. AEGI typically delivers both as a coordinated package.

We serve clients throughout Alberta and Western Canada, with a focus on the Edmonton and Calgary regions. We routinely design to City of Edmonton, City of Calgary, and Alberta Transportation standards, and we adapt to the specific guidelines of whichever municipality is reviewing your project.

Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the site and the type of approval required, but routine grading and drainage packages are typically completed within a few weeks once we have the survey, the geotechnical report, and your site requirements. We confirm a delivery schedule up front and work to meet your permit submission deadlines.

Yes. We provide grading, drainage, and lot-grading plans for infill properties as well as full site servicing and layout design for subdivisions. For infill work in particular, we focus on managing drainage relative to neighbouring properties so the design satisfies municipal lot-grading and stormwater requirements.

To begin, we typically need a current topographic survey of the site, the geotechnical report (prepared by a geotechnical specialist), the proposed building footprint or site plan, and the requirements of the reviewing municipality. If you don't yet have a survey or geotechnical report, we can advise on what's needed and coordinate with the appropriate specialists so the design starts on accurate data. The more complete the starting information, the faster and more predictable the design process.

Fees depend on the scope and complexity of the project — a single-lot grading plan is far simpler than full subdivision servicing, so there is no flat rate. We provide a fixed-fee or clearly scoped quote up front once we understand the site, the type of approval required, and the deliverables you need. To get an accurate quote, contact us with your site address, project type, and submission deadline and we will respond with a tailored proposal.
