Engineered Septic Solutions for Rural Properties
If you're building on a rural property in Eastern Ontario, septic design is one of the first engineering requirements you'll face. Municipalities require engineered drawings before they'll issue a permit, and the design needs to account for your specific soil conditions, lot layout, water table depth, and household capacity. AMP Engineering handles these designs regularly for new builds, additions, and properties that need to replace aging systems.
We work directly with property owners, builders, and septic installers to produce designs that get approved without back-and-forth. Tony Pascoal Sr. brings over 45 years of engineering experience to every project, including an understanding of local soil conditions across the Kingston, Ottawa, and Rideau Lakes areas that only comes from decades of practice. We design conventional systems, raised beds, and tertiary treatment systems depending on what the site demands.
Every septic design we produce includes a site assessment, soil evaluation, system sizing calculations, and detailed drawings ready for municipal submission. We coordinate directly with your local building department when needed, and we're familiar with the specific requirements across Frontenac County, Lanark County, Leeds and Grenville, and surrounding municipalities.
What This Includes
Site Assessment
On-site evaluation of lot layout, grading, setback distances, and identification of suitable septic bed locations relative to wells, waterways, and property lines.
Soil & Percolation Analysis
Soil classification and percolation testing to determine absorption rates and the appropriate system type for your property's conditions.
System Design & Sizing
Complete hydraulic design including tank sizing, distribution pipe layout, and tile bed dimensions based on occupancy and daily flow calculations.
Engineered Drawings
Stamped engineering drawings showing system layout, cross-sections, elevations, and all details required for permit submission.
Municipal Submission Support
Permit application coordination and direct communication with municipal building and health departments to ensure smooth approval.
Construction Review
Optional site visits during installation to verify the system is built according to the engineered design and meets all requirements.
