Plumbing and Sanitary Systems
Trusted Commercial Plumbing Design in the Greater Toronto Area
A well-designed plumbing system does more than move water; it supports the health, efficiency, and reliability of your entire building. At Bold Engineering, we deliver precise commercial plumbing design that provides dependable water delivery, effective drainage, and code-compliant infrastructure for your property. Our team supports projects in commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential sectors across the Greater Toronto Area.
Plumbing System Overview
We design systems that cover water supply, sanitary drainage, stormwater management, and specialized piping such as medical gas or natural gas lines. Each layout factors in code compliance, pressure balancing, and cross-connection control. We model flows, select pipe materials, and coordinate with other trades so your system integrates smoothly into the overall building design. Our deliverables include floor plans, riser diagrams, fixture schedules, and specification sheets.

How We Support Your Plumbing Needs
Our process starts with understanding your facility’s needs, including the building type, occupancy, and usage patterns. For restaurants or labs, we size grease interceptors and vented gas lines. For multi-unit buildings, we optimize risers to serve all floors effectively. We calculate fixture unit loads, pressure drops, and pump requirements to match real-world use. We guide you through material selection options, such as CPVC, copper, HDPE, or stainless, based on the application and lifecycle.
Benefits of Quality Plumbing Design
A well-designed plumbing system provides dependable service without hassle. You’ll reduce maintenance costs, prevent leaks or backups, and support occupant satisfaction. Long-term performance means fewer disruptions and better asset value:
- Reliable water pressure and distribution
- Efficient drainage with minimal blockages
- Compliance with code that supports tenant safety
- Lower lifecycle cost thanks to smart material and pump selection
- Smooth approval process with health and building departments
Specialty Piping Services
We also tackle specialty systems like medical gas in healthcare, steam traps in labs, or compressed air in industrial spaces. Each system follows stringent standards; for example, CSA Z7396 for medical gas. Our specialists design routing, identification, and pressure testing so your system meets safety and functional demands.
Existing Building Upgrades
Upgrading plumbing in an existing structure presents unique challenges. We conduct field investigations, map existing piping, and propose retrofit solutions that minimize disruptions. We evaluate corrosion, capacity constraints, and accessibility. We look for opportunities to reduce water use, address cross-connection risk, and simplify maintenance.
Sustainability and Water Conservation
Water efficiency is a priority for many clients. We incorporate low-flow fixtures, sub-metering, stormwater reuse, and heat recovery systems. We model water use and support utility or green building incentives. The result is a system that reduces waste and cuts cost while meeting performance needs.
Resource Planning & Coordination
Our team coordinates with civil and landscaping consultants to integrate stormwater, backflow prevention, and site servicing. We prepare cut sheets, assembly drawings, and pressure testing plans for quick adoption by contractors. Our goal is smooth progress from design to handover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions about commercial plumbing design. If you don’t see your question, contact our team because we’re happy to help.
It’s the engineering process for sizing, routing, and specifying water supply and drainage systems in non-residential buildings. This includes fixture counts, pipe sizing, and layout planning to deliver reliable water distribution and drainage. A well-designed system reduces maintenance costs while supporting daily building operations.
Yes, we plan storm and sanitary drainage, roof leaders, and site servicing with proper slope, capacity, and code compliance. Our team also considers site grading and local stormwater management requirements to reduce flooding and erosion risks. We help ensure your site remains functional during heavy rain events.
For facilities like restaurants, we size and locate interceptors based on fixture units and flow to manage grease and protect sewer systems. We also coordinate cleanout access and maintenance space to keep your system working efficiently. This helps prevent costly sewer backups and code violations.
We select CPVC, copper, HDPE, or stainless steel based on code, cost, water quality, and longevity considerations. Material selection also takes into account water temperature, pressure ratings, and project-specific needs. We guide clients on the best choices to balance durability and budget.
Yes, our team follows CSA Z7396 standards and covers design, labeling, testing, and commissioning. We also coordinate with healthcare equipment providers to confirm connection points and compliance with infection control practices. Safety and redundancy planning are integrated into each system design.
We work closely with mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil teams to avoid conflicts and meet integrated performance goals. Early coordination reduces rework and helps maintain your construction schedule. We also align design with architectural plans to preserve ceiling heights and space efficiency.
We inspect existing systems, map piping, identify issues like corrosion or low pressure, and plan upgrades with minimal disruption. Our retrofits can improve water efficiency and address outdated components without major downtime. We also help secure permits and compliance documentation for these upgrades.
Yes, we can integrate low-flow fixtures, pressure-reducing valves, stormwater reuse, and metering to support sustainability goals. We can also assist in identifying rebate programs to help reduce upfront costs while saving water long-term.
Yes, our drawings and specifications meet municipal and health department requirements for quick approval. We provide clear, code-compliant documentation that simplifies the review process. This helps your project move forward without unnecessary delays.
