Montessori School of Toronto
Our drainage and civil groups were engaged in permitting, stormwater analysis, design, and construction supervision phases of a new drainage system for an outdoor Amphitheatre. The project included coordination with the City’s water department that executed modifications of street manholes and other components of City’s stormwater collection system.
Problem
Task
During design of the exterior amphitheater it was recognized that the storm water collected at the bottom of the theatre will have to be drained out.
Challenges
Analysis
A bottom elevaton of the amphitheater was lower than the elevation of the surrounding grades. In addition, the existing building adjacent to the amphitheater did not have a perimeter drainage system to connect to.
Solution
Engineering
Our team designed new storm drainage system that connected to the City's storm system and applied for the approval with the City.
Benefits
Results
The amphitheater and the new building addition got a drainage system that would minimize risk of flooding. The contractor was able to complete construction of the school expansion before a new school year started.
