MTE's Involvement
Since 2005, MTE has played a central role in supporting the planning and engineering aspects of this long-term community development. Our team has provided engineering consultation, design, and strategic advice related to site servicing, grading, and stormwater management to help facilitate planning approvals and enable phased development.
The approved plans envision a mix of residential uses, along with the construction of a school, parks, municipal roads, and essential infrastructure including stormwater, sanitary, and water services.
Following the approval of the draft plans, MTE has continued to provide detailed engineering services. Our stormwater management strategy includes infrastructure to control both the quality and quantity of runoff, including the design and construction of three stormwater management ponds. We also led the design and oversight of the realignment of Blenheim Road, which required the replacement of a culvert crossing over Devil’s Creek—a significant piece of infrastructure to support community access and connectivity.
In parallel, our team conducted an analysis of the existing municipal water network to confirm that adequate pressure and supply could support the proposed developments. This analysis covered the broader Westwood Village Community network and informed the sizing of new infrastructure. For the subdivisions MTE is directly involved with, we determined that the internal water distribution system would primarily use 200 mm diameter pipes, with one 300 mm diameter section to meet capacity requirements.
To date, MTE has delivered a wide range of technical studies and documentation to support the planning and development process, including:
- Existing Conditions Surface Water Resources Analysis
- Conceptual Stormwater Management Plan
- Chloride Impact Analysis
- Water and Sanitary Servicing Analysis
- Noise Assessment
- Phase One Environmental Site Assessment
As Westwood Village continues to evolve, MTE remains an active partner, helping to guide this growing community through sound engineering solutions and sustainable design practices.
