Service Areas

Primary Service Areas

We regularly support projects in Calgary, Okotoks, Cochrane, Canmore, Airdrie, and Chestermere. Check out our Services Page to see how we can help you!

Over the years, we have built and maintained an internal database of subsurface information from past projects, including borehole records tied to GPS coordinates, which we use as much as we can to save our clients money.

Depending on the nature of your project, there is a good chance we may already have relevant information from nearby work, which can help inform the investigation scope and, in some cases, reduce project costs by relying on information we collected previously, eliminating a large portion of your cost.

Our team is also familiar with local permitting processes, municipal requirements, and geotechnical expectations across these communities, ensuring our deliverables get through permit review quickly.

Geotechnical Engineering in Calgary

Calgary is one of our primary service areas and home to our main office. We regularly support homeowners, builders, and developers with geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and construction QA/QC services for projects ranging from single-family homes and additions, slope stability assessments, retaining walls, multifamily, low-rise, to commercial, municipal, and infrastructure developments.

Our team is familiar with local soil conditions, permitting requirements, and the practical challenges that come up during construction in Calgary. Whether you’re planning a new build, dealing with an existing issue, or need support during construction, give us a shout and we’d be happy to help.

Geotechnical Engineering in Okotoks

With development around the Sheep River valley, rolling terrain, and growing residential areas, geotechnical conditions in Okotoks can vary significantly from site to site. Projects in these settings often require careful consideration of slope stability, retaining wall design, and drainage. Our team is familiar with local soil conditions, permitting requirements, and construction considerations in the area, allowing us to provide practical recommendations that help reduce risk and support efficient project delivery.

Our internal database of borehole and subsurface information across Alberta, includes projects in and around Okotoks. In some cases, this means we may already have relevant data near your site that can help guide the investigation, refine the scope of work, and potentially reduce, and sometimes even eliminate, the need for drilling, depending on the project requirements.

Our team is also familiar with local soil conditions, permitting requirements, and construction considerations in the area, allowing us to provide practical recommendations that support efficient project delivery and permitting review from the Town.

Geotechnical Engineering in Cochrane

Cochrane is a key service area for our team, where we support a range of residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. With development concentrated along the Bow River valley and surrounding slopes, geotechnical considerations such as slope stability, retaining walls, and drainage are often important early in the design process.

We also act as a geotechnical reviewer for the Town of Cochrane and have contributed to large municipal and infrastructure projects, giving us direct familiarity with local conditions, expectations, and approval processes.

Geotechnical Engineering in Airdrie

Airdrie is a growing community where we support residential and commercial development projects with geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and construction QA/QC services. Projects in the area often involve new subdivisions, commercial sites, and site grading, where understanding subsurface conditions early can help avoid issues during construction.

Groundwater conditions can also be an important consideration in parts of Airdrie, as they influence foundation design, drainage, and construction approaches. Our team is familiar with local conditions and permitting processes in Airdrie, and we provide practical recommendations to help projects move forward efficiently.

Geotechnical Engineering in Canmore

We support a wide range of projects in Canmore, including residential, commercial, and redevelopment work, with geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and construction QA/QC services. Our team has completed many projects in the area and is familiar with Canmore compliance packages, local permitting requirements, and the geotechnical considerations associated with mountain terrain, slopes, and complex site conditions.

We do not charge mobilization fees for work in Canmore, helping keep these remote projects cost-effective for our clients.

Geotechnical Engineering in Chestermere

We support residential and commercial projects in Chestermere with geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and construction QA/QC services. With ongoing development around Chestermere Lake, projects in the area often involve lakeside conditions where groundwater, drainage, and shoreline stability can be important considerations. Our team has completed numerous retaining wall and shoreline-related projects in the area and is familiar with local conditions and permitting requirements. Learn more about our geotechnical engineering services in Chestermere.

Additional Areas We Serve

If your city is not listed here, we still would like to hear from you! We pride ourselves on working with clients to provide fair pricing, even in remote locations, or where your local engineering firms may not be able to service your project.
