Design & Engineering

Our unique methodologies and experienced team ensure your projects excel in quality, budget and schedule, meeting safety and national standards.

Feasibility Studies

We take a holistic approach in our comprehensive feasibility studies, using our collective experience to your benefit. Our engineers and technicians consider all phases of the project life cycle (engineering, construction, operations, maintenance and decommissioning) and delve into the technical and financial aspects, providing you with a thorough analysis of its viability, risks and outcomes. These studies empower you to make well-informed decisions, offering a clear understanding of your project’s landscape and setting the stage for success.

Our feasibility studies are typically conducted to meet AACE class estimates and include:

  • Capital cost estimates
  • Operating cost estimates
  • GANTT charts
  • High-level design documentation
  • Bill of materials
  • Opportunities/risk register
  • Safety in design reviews
  • Constructability reviews
