Who We  Are

The Town of Stony Plain's engineering division develops engineering and construction standards that govern the design, installation and maintenance of the Town's infrastructure system. The unit prepares reports and plans that strategically guide the Town's infrastructure development within Stony Plain. These documents help the Town to fulfill its mandate of effectively planning to meet the needs of the community - both now and in the future.

The engineering division advises council, the town manager, the senior leadership team and town departments on matters pertaining to infrastructure planning, maintenance and funding.

The Town retains the services of private engineering consultants for design, contract document preparation and contract supervision for capital works projects.
