Our partnership journey with you begins with an extensive analysis of the proposed project site. Many of the assessments discussed above happen at this point, including the geotechnical investigations and environmental assessments. At this point, any potential challenges need to be identified, such as soil stability and compliance issues. Once we know the potential issues, we can start developing solutions and resolving them.

Holistic Environmental Assessments for Every Stage of Your Project
Environmental Services
Once we assess the site and materials, it is time to move to the project’s environment. There are four main focus points, which include planning, design, construction and operations and maintenance. Within each one, we conduct various assessments and tests of the natural resources, air quality and habitat.

Expert Management and Certification Services for Transportation Facilities
Facilities Services
Facilities require management and certification, as various construction standards need to be met through building code inspections and third-party inspections (TPIP). We also provide structural engineering consulting and pavement asset management during this stage.

Our Approach to Transportation Projects
Design needs to be a balance between innovation and sustainability. Armed with assessments during the planning stage, we can now figure out how to turn your vision into something tangible. We integrate safety measures into the new infrastructure, along with any existing transport networks.
High quality and safety standards must be met at all stages. We establish tests, protocols and compliance checks so that the construction process runs smoothly and according to plan. Part of this involves having a clear plan. The plan must incorporate scheduling, noise and dust control measures and alternative routes for traffic, if needed.
Once construction is finished, we turn our focus to the long-term sustainability and efficiency of the transportation infrastructure. We can provide additional services such as regular inspections and preventive maintenance.
