Legal Application of Urban Hydraulics
Olivier Lefebvre’s expertise is sought to technically assist each client during a claim or defense in court. A member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec in water engineering since 2017, Mr. Lefebvre offers his legal expertise services particularly for assessing issues related to municipal infrastructure in legal claims.
He acts independently in disputes concerning design or construction defects, such as:
Sewer backup or drainage issues.
Design flaws in the design of stormwater and wastewater drainage systems.
In-depth analyses of infrastructure conditions to support legal cases.
Projected Flow Assessment
Construction contractors, real estate developers, and urban development officials may face temporary moratoriums or permit denials due to municipal decisions based on the impact of demand on wastewater infrastructure. These decisions can significantly delay or jeopardize investments.
Can-Explore provides legal expertise in assessing projected wastewater flow, allowing the documentation of the actual impact of your projects on municipal networks. Our service provides the necessary technical data to:
- Demonstrate the hydraulic viability of your project to municipal authorities;
- Accurately quantify the impact of modern sanitary installations (low-flow toilets, water-saving devices, etc.) on actual consumption;
- Obtain moratorium lifts with data certified by our engineers, members of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec;
- Secure your real estate investments by anticipating hydraulic constraints.
