Our Expertise

At Acadia Engineering, we specialize in water resource management that meets the evolving needs of government agencies and land developers across British Columbia and Ontario. Our expertise ensures that infrastructure and development projects are climate-resilient, environmentally responsible, and fully compliant with provincial and municipal regulations.

Stormwater Management & Climate Resilience

As climate change intensifies rainfall variability and extreme weather events, effective stormwater management is more critical than ever. Our team designs resilient water management solutions that reduce flood risk, protect infrastructure, and safeguard communities.

Watershed & Flood Risk Analysis

We conduct comprehensive watershed assessments to evaluate hydrological impacts and flood risks. Our modeling and analysis help municipalities and developers implement evidence-based mitigation strategies to enhance community safety and long-term sustainability.

Erosion Control & Water Quality Protection

Uncontrolled runoff and land disturbance can lead to erosion and degraded water quality. We integrate proven erosion control measures into site designs to protect natural waterways, maintain compliance with environmental regulations, and support healthy ecosystems.

water supply & Infrastructure design

From municipal water systems to private developments, we provide engineering solutions that ensure reliable and sustainable water supply. Our designs align with provincial water standards and support responsible resource management.

What it means

Sustainability at the Core

We prioritize climate resilience by designing systems that adapt to future conditions, integrating green infrastructure such as permeable surfaces, bioretention systems, and naturalized drainage solutions. We also incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) strategies where feasible, reducing environmental impact while maintaining project viability.

We have extensive knowledge of BC and Ontario’s water resource regulations, ensuring that our designs comply with: 

Municipal stormwater and floodplain management bylaws

Ministry of Environment & regulator guidelines

Provincial water quality and conservation regulations
