Capabilities

To help our clients achieve their project objectives, we've assembled a team of highly capable professionals.

We work with our clients to deliver quality and value at every stage of the project.

Who we are

We are a multi-disciplinary group of Principals and Associates comprising Qualified Professionals (QEPs), Registered Professional Biologists (RPBio), Professional Engineers (P.Eng), Professional Geoscientists (P.Geo), GIS analysts, and senior project managers. Our practitioners bring senior consulting experience from Jacobs/CH2M HILL, WSP/Golder Associates, and Stantec, and have delivered work on many of the most demanding energy, infrastructure, and environmental projects of the last three decades.
