With increasing knowledge of the impact of Erosion and Sediment on existing infrastructure (SWMFs), sewers, catch basins and the negative impact on our natural water systems, The Alberta Government and it’s Municipalities has been increasing the requirements for ESC.

During the project construction and development, the Engineer will documents and report on the ESC maintenance to ensure compliance and protection of the surrounding environment and water systems.

Design Drawings are required to identity areas of high erosion potential. They will also specify the necessary ESC measures to control and catch/contain the sediment. These measure will include  items such as:

W.E. can also provide clients with the necessary inspections and reporting to demonstrate the ESC measures are installed and maintained during the life of the project. Reports to include Best Practices Management. Inspections help to ensure Compliance and Maintenance Reporting.
