Sustainable Utilities
The district-wide private utility
Infrastructure as an asset, not an expense.
What we bring
Utilities planned from inception, built to perform for decades
We plan, structure and deliver district-wide private utilities for master-planned communities, designed alongside the land plan and the phasing from the very first stage.
Our team brings together infrastructure engineering, construction delivery, financial modelling and capital structuring, so a community's heating, cooling, water and energy systems are conceived as one integrated stack: lower operating costs and resilience for residents, stronger performance for the asset, and a long-term revenue layer for its owners.
What we design
One integrated sustainable stack
District energy
- Geothermal district heating and cooling, with thermal energy storage and a central energy centre.
- Summer heat recovery, putting the heat removed by cooling to work before any is rejected.
- Recovered heat from other sources, such as a data centre, where approved.
Water reuse
- Greywater reuse designed as one system, across the buildings and the community network.
- Central treatment with one approval, one operator and one point of quality monitoring.
- Standards written into land agreements and covenants, so every building connects the same way.
Smart operations and further services
- SCADA monitoring and control, metering and utility billing.
- EV charging delivered as a utility service.
- Renewable energy and circular resource recovery from the community's own waste.
How we deliver it
From concept to an approved, financeable, operating utility
Structured as an asset
- A private utility company, budgeted and financed separately from the core civil program.
- Ownership structures that can include our First Nation partners, with a recognized operator alongside.
- Recurring revenue that strengthens the long-term value of the community.
Sized, priced and phased
- Capacities built up from the development program, parcel by parcel.
- Costing that moves from planning allowances to priced estimates as design advances.
- Plant and networks phased with the community, so capital follows demand.
Taken through to operation
- Feasibility, approvals and the regulatory pathway through the BC Utilities Commission.
- Customer tariffs set to benefit residents and businesses, and operating budgets built for the long term.
- Financing pathways through infrastructure lenders and public programs.
