Conducted a thorough review of site plans, grading plans, civil and architectural drawings, and mechanical drawings to identify various stormwater management features• Transferred identified features from PDF and AutoCAD drawings to ArcGIS• Conducted site visits to verify the condition of the features and ground truth the as-built drawings• Created flow charts to understand the flow of water under major and minor events• Calculated storage capacity of stormwater management features for 20-year storm events and checked for surcharging during minor events• Presented findings to Region of Peel staff through PowerPoint presentations• Inspected storage chambers with snout, infiltration trench, swale, and exfiltration systems to ensure proper functioning within the project warranty time frame• Provided GIS expertise to support CLI ECA application for 14 settlement areas by delineating major and minor delineations in 20-year storm events• Presented virtual tour of works through presentation slides, showcasing how minor delineation was done in absence of as-built drawings using Google Street View for analysis• Implemented innovative solutions to enhance stormwater management practices, including the incorporation of elbows to facilitate the redirection of more water towards Low Impact Development (LID) features, prior to its entry into the storm sewer system. Conducted an ArcHydro analysis to identify and recognize the culverts within the drainage pattern, to further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of stormwater management systems.Assisted in writing the methodology for minor and major delineations work and identifying the features.
