OUR SERVICES
Our diverse areas of expertise are designed to fit the changing needs of your project
MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION
From designing to delivering revolutionary transport infrastructure, our clients’ work spans some of the most complex projects in the world. We master that complexity by combining our creative thinking with the most innovative technologies, bringing our clients’ projects to life with maximum impact.
Guiding a project from inception to completion comes with unique challenges – regardless of its size, scope or complexity. We thrive on those challenges, always striving to be a true partner to our clients; sharing the ups and downs that are part of any successful project, and delivering long-term, sustainable results that continue beyond project completion.
Combining our outstanding expertise and experience in project and construction management with the most innovative technologies and robust health and safety systems, we can take on whatever role a project – and our clients - need.
On some projects we act as project manager, joining our client’s team to advance their interests. On others, like public private partnerships (P3s), we draw on our extensive know-how to manage the entire project lifecycle—from financing and design to procurement, construction, and operations and maintenance. In Canada, we’re a recognized leader in the P3 market.
Thanks to the breadth and depth of our expertise and experience, we understand the challenges our clients face, from resource limitations to increasingly complicated capital projects. Our project managers are trusted advisors who can step in at any point to give project owners better control, and our efficient, end-to-end approach streamlines project development and delivery. That means quality projects completed on time and on budget, and the client’s ambitions realized.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
We offer comprehensive municipal infrastructure services to all levels of government, public corporations and para-governmental agencies. We understand that building and managing municipal infrastructure is complex, but our experience working in Public Private Partnerships (TIFF) and other complex business models means our processes and methodologies are adaptable to achieve success. Our goal is to work with our clients to make public spaces and infrastructure efficient to run and pleasant to use.
From parks to transportation systems to water networks — our solutions not only meet the needs of our client and their community today but for decades to come. They’re built to withstand and keep pace with changes in population size, climate and energy costs. Whether lighting up the streets at night or easing the flow of traffic during morning rush hour, we stay ahead with our intelligent systems that provide equipment reliability, cost-effective operations and maintenance.
TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAY ENGINEERING
We combine traditional engineering with state-of-the-art technologies to deliver safe and reliable transport infrastructure that connects communities and promotes sustainable living. Our end-to-end services span the entire transport ecosystem, from railways to highways and ports to airports, and we never forget that communities are at the heart of everything we do.
We support this by taking a collaborative approach to help drive efficiencies, to improve mobility for people, businesses, and organisations, and to unlock vital regional growth. By understanding that each project is different, we provide creative, smart, affordable, and sustainable solutions that are underpinned by robust funding models to ensure transportation networks serving communities deliver the maximum benefit.
WATER SEWER UTILITIES
Our clients in the water supply and quality industry not only work with one of the most complex, ever-changing resources – they work with one of the most important. Simply put, water sustains all life, which is why we’re proud to bring together the best expertise and latest innovations to meet the challenges facing our clients – and the wider world – head on.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to water. Our clients face growing populations, climate change, pollution, manufacturing, and changing lifestyles as they attempt to deliver solutions that maintain and enhance our collective wellbeing.
They trust us to partner with them in this because we’ve been designing and building water infrastructure around the world for more than a century. We pride ourselves on our ability to ensure water services are environmentally responsible because, considering the stakes, delivering ‘good enough’ simply isn’t good enough. That’s why we’re always pushing research and innovation boundaries as we look to create better solutions.
Our areas of expertise are wide-ranging — from specializing in protecting water sources and ensuring waterborne contaminants stay out of sensitive ecosystems, to meeting compliance with all regulators. We keep our clients’ needs in mind and work closely with them to make sure this always happens. Whether we’re designing a drinking water plant, figuring out how to treat and return wastewater safely to the ecosystem, or finalizing a river management and flood defence strategy, our sustainable solutions are realistic, durable, and adaptable.
PROJECT SCHEDULING
Millions of moving parts. Thousands of workers. Hundreds of sub-contractors. These are just some of the complex pieces at play over the course of major construction projects.
This is where our construction and project management experts come in. They deliver all facets of a project according to schedule and client expectations, because they are backed by one of the most powerful and versatile project management systems in the industry. This, combined with a deep knowledge of local capabilities — and the latest technological tools offering better data — means we have the extensive, effective collaboration required to meet all stakeholder expectations and complete even the most complex projects successfully.
No two projects are the same, so neither are our solutions. Our experts deliver services—using proven processes and systems—tailored to each client. Our systems completions and commissioning solution spans the entire lifecycle of a project, from design through to construction, pre-commissioning, dynamic commissioning, and start-up. It also includes the facility performance testing stages of a project, when we demonstrate that systems will perform according to the engineer’s facility design basis, the owner’s expectations, and production expectations. Everything we do is about achieving a client’s goals in the most efficient way possible.
Our multidisciplinary team provides construction and technical field services across a wide range of industries and markets, including infrastructure, oil and gas, mining, water and wastewater treatment plants, and more. We construct, commission, maintain, and enhance our client’s assets — even in complicated and hostile environments — safely and to schedule. To overcome project challenges and offer clients more flexibility, we build with our own qualified labour force when necessary.
Public Private Partnerships
We’re leaders in the development and delivery of O&M and Facilities Management (FM) services on large, complex P3 infrastructure projects. Since 1999, through our longstanding equity participation in infrastructure assets, we’ve played an active role in shaping the P3 projects landscape and looking to develop more P3 Projects in our core markets.
