Port Lands Flood Protection Project
EllisDon / Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation
Toronto, Ontario
Callon Dietz played an important role in supporting the Port Lands Flood Protection and Enabling Infrastructure Project, a major waterfront redevelopment initiative in Toronto.
Working as a sub-consultant to EllisDon, our team provided comprehensive cadastral, topographic, and engineering surveying services, along with high-precision survey control, to support the planning, design, and construction of critical infrastructure throughout the Port Lands area.
Spanning multiple phases over seven years, the project required close coordination with engineering, environmental, construction, demolition, and landscape architecture teams, each working toward interconnected project milestones.
Services:
Cadastral Surveys, Topographic Surveys, Engineering Surveys, High-Precision Control Surveys
Our Approach
Callon Dietz delivered surveying services across multiple project stages, adapting to evolving schedules and technical requirements while ensuring accurate, reliable data was available to support project decisions.
Our cadastral surveying work included establishing street and railway limits, completing boundary surveys, and preparing reference plans for approximately 20 individual land parcels within the project area. These surveys supported new road alignments, contaminated material sites, and the identification of remaining lands affected by the redevelopment.
In addition, our team completed extensive topographic and engineering surveys throughout the Port Lands, providing essential information for infrastructure design and development.
Several high-precision survey control networks were also established to support bridge installations and other complex engineering requirements, ensuring consistent and reliable survey control across multiple construction activities.
Project Outcomes
Through ongoing collaboration, technical expertise, and responsive project delivery, Callon Dietz provided critical survey information that supported the coordination and progression of this complex, multi-year infrastructure initiative.
Our ability to deliver dependable cadastral, engineering, and control surveying services across multiple project phases helped facilitate informed decision-making and maintain continuity between project teams.
The Port Lands Flood Protection Project demonstrates Callon Dietz’s experience supporting large-scale municipal infrastructure and waterfront redevelopment projects, where accuracy, collaboration, and reliable survey data are essential to successful project delivery.
