Project overview

As Milton experiences rapid growth, the Town identified the need for an additional fire station and collaborated with Halton Region to develop a joint facility housing both the new Milton Fire Station and the Halton Paramedic Station. MTE was engaged to provide environmental and civil engineering services, including detailed site grading, servicing, and stormwater management design to support rezoning and site plan approval. Additionally, we conducted an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) to identify any potential contamination on the site.

The 12,900 ft²facility is designed to accommodate the Halton Region Paramedic crew, featuring an apparatus bay for emergency vehicles. The portion of the building designated for the Milton Fire Station offers space for fire crews, equipment storage, general maintenance, office areas, training rooms, a fitness room, a front vestibule, a hose tower, and an apparatus bay for fire trucks.

MTE's Involvement

At the project’s outset, our team thoroughly reviewed all existing background information to develop a base plan for schematic and detailed site engineering. Our scope included preparing site grading and servicing plans for submission to the Town of Milton and Halton Region, as well as a servicing strategy and stormwater management report.

During construction, we provided contract administration and performed regular site inspections to ensure the work complied with the approved engineering drawings. The ESA conducted early in the project revealed minimal areas of concern, allowing us to confidently eliminate the need for ongoing environmental assessments.
