Civil & Municipal Design

Grading, drainage, servicing, stormwater, septic design, and floodplain modelling.

Design

What we do

The core civil engineering work outside and below a structure — turning raw land into a serviced, drainable, approvable site, from a single lot to a full subdivision. This includes grading & drainage, stormwater management, erosion & sediment control, servicing, and functional servicing reports.

Engineered Septic System

Professional engineered septic system design for residential and commercial developments — site assessments, permit-ready designs, system sizing, replacement systems, and advanced treatment solutions tailored to property conditions and regulatory requirements. Reliable, compliant, and cost-effective.

Floodplain Modelling & Fluvial Geomorphology

Comprehensive floodplain assessment and modelling — Stage 1 desktop reviews, Stage 2 detailed hydraulic and hydrologic computer modelling, and fluvial geomorphology assessments to support planning, permitting, and regulatory approvals, and to help manage flood and erosion risks.

Questions & answers

Civil & Municipal Design — FAQs

What civil and municipal engineering services does King EPCM provide?

We provide grading and drainage, stormwater management, site servicing (water, sanitary, and storm), engineered septic design, and floodplain modelling for residential, commercial, and industrial development.

Does King EPCM design septic systems?

Yes. We provide engineered septic system design, including soil (T-time) testing and the approvals needed for rural and large-lot properties.

What is a grading and drainage plan and when is it required?

A grading and drainage plan shows how a site will be re-contoured to manage stormwater and direct runoff safely. Municipalities typically require one as part of building permit or site plan approval.

What areas does King EPCM serve for civil design?

We serve Markham, the GTA, and Ontario-wide.
