MTE's Involvement
Sustainability was central to the project’s design. The building is LEED certified and incorporates a range of renewable energy technologies and green infrastructure solutions. Notable features include self-tinting electrochromatic glass, solar walls, and sensor-controlled LED lighting—supporting the Town of Oakville’s net-zero carbon goals and advancing low-energy building practices.
MTE is proud to have supported the development of the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex through the provision of civil, environmental, and geotechnical engineering services.
As the civil engineering consultant, MTE was responsible for the site grading, servicing, and stormwater management design for both the Site Plan Approval and Building Permit stages. Our team also provided construction inspection services to ensure that infrastructure installation aligned with approved plans and sustainable objectives.
In keeping with the project’s environmental focus, MTE incorporated green infrastructure and low-impact development (LID) strategies into the stormwater design. This included the use of permeable pavements, bioswales, and rain gardens to manage runoff and improve on-site water quality while minimizing environmental disruption.
Our environmental engineering team developed a comprehensive Sampling and Analysis Plan to assess each area of potential environmental concern (APEC). This ensured proper soil characterization by addressing possible contaminants flagged during the Area of Potential Use (APU) review. To supplement this, we conducted a subsurface investigation and environmental drilling program to further evaluate soil conditions and identify issues such as deleterious fill.
