Project Tags STORM WATER PONDS AND RECLAMATION PROJECTS

Lombard North Group has been involved in a wide range of restoration projects in municipal, provincial and national parks. In these cases, where natural landscapes were disturbed, we have provided consultation services to restore the areas to blend with surrounding conditions. We are combining those restoration projects with storm water ponds and improvements, which help to improve water quality and and depending on the needs of the client and the project may be designed to blend with the surrounding environment.

Calgary, AB – 2008

Fish Creek Park occupies 1300 hectares of the Fish Creek River Valley and is characterized as an area rich in cultural and natural resources. Lombard North was responsible for the original design and development of this, Canada’s first urban Provincial Park, and has since completed several lifecycle improvement upgrades. Most recently, Lombard, in collaboration with MPE, assisted Alberta Parks and the City of Calgary with a new Storm Water Quality Improvement project in one of the site’s natural grassland areas. The work included the planning and development of new storm ponds, site analysis and resource inventory, public consultation, habitat preservation and restoration, and the planning and re-routing of new pedestrian trails.
