SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE

Transportation is a key sector within Ecora’s Engineering and Environment groups. We provide geotechnical, hydrotechnical, structural, civil and environmental support with a focus on roads, airports and railways. Our key clients in this sector consist of Provincial and Federal government in addition to Municipal Government. Private sector clients include airport authorities, railways and port authorities who value the quality services that Ecora provides.

We pride ourselves in providing boutique design services that are outside the box. Our success has come from our ability to provide our clients with innovative design ideas and solutions. We have a combination of strong numerical skills based on sound engineering principles as well as practical and pragmatic engineering abilities. 

We implement Ecora’s core values of commitment to people, relationships, community and environment in all that we do and strive to incorporate sustainable concepts from project definition through to construction. We work with our clients to understand their design criteria and develop resilient solutions that account for climate change and other key projects drivers such as seismic demands, constructability, safety, property acquisition, environmental constraints/opportunities and Indigenous relations.
