Our Engineering Disciplines
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering team designs and improves the infrastructure that supports everyday life. From municipal water systems and sanitary sewers to stormwater management, bridges, and erosion control, we deliver practical solutions that help communities grow safely and sustainably.
Structural Engineering
Structural engineering focuses on creating safe, durable systems capable of withstanding the forces they encounter throughout their lifespan. Our expertise includes building design, retaining structures, deep foundations, load testing, and other specialized structural solutions tailored to each project’s unique requirements.
Geostructural Sciences
Using advanced technology and data-driven analysis, our Geostructural Sciences team provides critical insights that guide engineering decisions. Services such as thermal imaging, non-destructive foundation evaluations, UAV surveys, and other investigative techniques help us assess existing conditions with accuracy while minimizing disruption.
Field Services
Our field engineers provide hands-on technical support throughout every stage of a project. From operating advanced imaging equipment and collecting site data to performing inspections, developing accurate models, and monitoring construction progress, our field services ensure informed decision-making and reliable project outcomes.
Blue Thermal
Blue Thermal™ is our advanced infrared imaging service used to detect issues that are invisible to the naked eye. By identifying moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, electrical faults, and mechanical inefficiencies without invasive testing, we help clients uncover problems early—reducing risk, improving energy performance, and minimizing costly repairs.
Our Values
Solve Problems
Engineering is about finding practical solutions and our company culture includes great enthusiasm for "figuring it out" and thinking outside the box. This tenet is fully embraced by everyone on our team.
Embrace Challenges
Our founder, Patrick Machin, has never been one to shy away from a challenge. That's why our engineers and designers are encouraged to remove the word "impossible" from their vocabularies.
Keep Learning
We take every opportunity to expand our knowledge, sharpen our skills, and become better engineers. We believe every project provides an avenue for greater knowledge.
