Engineering services have been part of the OFNTSC since 1996 and our team of Professional Engineers provide a direct line for infrastructure support services to First Nations within Ontario. OFNTSC’s engineering portfolio provides a variety of services to First Nations that includes: project planning; project management; capital planning; terms of reference development; request for proposal development; assistance with retaining qualified Consultants; assistance with funding applications; and technical oversight throughout a project’s different phases.
The OFNTSC Engineering department also provides design review services, which provide an important quality control process to ensure that the design is in the best interest of the First Nation. In addition, our Engineers provide guidance and oversight to First Nations who are preparing Federal and Provincial funding proposals to ensure that they meet the application processes.
Water and Wastewater
OFNTSC’s team of Engineers also have a special focus on water and wastewater infrastructure because the need for clean water is often an ongoing challenge with our First Nations. OFNTSC is committed to ensuring that all water and wastewater infrastructure built on First Nations’ will meet or exceed National standards.
Most recently, the OFNTSC’s Engineering team has also completed a desktop review of the status of drinking water and sewage systems on First Nations in Ontario. Through this work, the OFNTSC is capable of identifying: the age of water and wastewater treatment systems; water and wastewater systems capital investment needs, existing water and wastewater systems’ compliance with regulations; and the frequency of common capital issues encountered on First Nations.
Engineering is a mandated core service with the OFNTSC and our team of Professional Engineers will continue to provide these services in a client-focused manner.
