At OAL Engineering, we specialize in preparing comprehensive Functional Servicing Reports (FSRs) that support planning applications and provide municipalities with the technical justification needed to approve proposed developments. An FSR outlines how a site will be serviced with water, sanitary, and stormwater infrastructure, and demonstrates that the development can be safely and efficiently integrated with existing municipal systems.

FSRs are typically required for zoning by-law amendments, site plan applications, subdivision developments, and severance requests. Our reports are prepared by licensed professionals with deep experience in both engineering design and municipal review processes, ensuring compliance with local, regional, and provincial requirements.

A complete Functional Servicing Report from OAL Engineering addresses:

• Water servicing: capacity analysis, connection locations, and demand projections
• Sanitary servicing: flow calculations, gravity sewer design, and outlet capacity
• Stormwater servicing: integration with stormwater management strategies, drainage outlets, and retention/detention systems
• Existing and proposed infrastructure: including mainline connections, manholes, and utility coordination
• Grading and drainage considerations: as they relate to servicing feasibility and system performance
• Compliance with municipal servicing standards and coordination with relevant utility providers

Our FSRs are clear, concise, and professionally structured to facilitate timely municipal review and approval. We work closely with planners, architects, surveyors, and developers to align servicing strategies with the site plan and project goals. Where necessary, our team also attends meetings with municipal staff or council to present and defend the findings of the report.

Whether you’re developing a small infill lot or a large multi-phase subdivision, OAL Engineering delivers Functional Servicing Reports that support approvals, reduce delays, and ensure the long-term functionality of your infrastructure systems.
