Why we’re differentBuildings Whether we’re partnering with clients to engineer a hospital or mixed-use development, a research facility or industrial park, an education campus or an airport, we design with community in mind because we believe in the power of places to transform lives, to meet the needs of a community today and help fulfill its potential tomorrow.

Community Development Strong communities are built specifically for the people that live and work there. They’re creatively imagined, collaboratively planned and readied to face tomorrow with optimism.

Energy & Resources We’re working together with the industry to deliver innovation for the long-term and keep our clients at the leading edge—delivering specialised expertise at a price that maintains a competitive advantage. This means creative and custom solutions that can save millions, cut waste, increase efficiency, and improve safety.

Environment We take the time to truly understand each site—learning its past, adapting to present conditions, and preparing for future shifts. So, whether we’re collaborating on a complex permit application, monitoring a site during construction, or designing a decommissioning

plan, our team help to find the smartest solution for the site and the community

it supports.

Transportation When you begin with the end in mind, you create meaningful change. This philosophy guides how we approach every transportation infrastructure project, with a consistent driver of providing people with

better and smarter mobility options.

Water We approach every water and natural resource project we

undertake—whether at the local, regional, or watershed level—thoughtfully, and execute

it with excellence. We partner with our clients to design solutions that address their communities’ unique needs throughout the water infrastructure life-cycle.
