CONSTRUCTION MONITORING

Environmental Protection Plans (EPPs) and Environmental Construction Operations (ECO) Plans provide the framework for protecting environmental values during construction. We develop clear, practical, and site-specific plans that identify environmental sensitivities, outline mitigation measures, and support regulatory compliance throughout construction.

Our team understands both environmental requirements and construction realities. By working collaboratively with project owners, engineers, contractors, and Indigenous partners, we develop practical solutions that protect sensitive environments while helping projects move forward safely, efficiently, and with confidence.

Our experienced Environmental Monitors provide on-site environmental monitoring and inspection throughout construction to help projects remain compliant with regulatory approvals, permit conditions, and Environmental Protection Plans (EPPs).

Working alongside project owners, contractors, engineers, and Indigenous partners, we identify environmental risks early, provide practical solutions in the field, and document compliance activities with clear, defensible reporting. Our team understands the realities of construction and works proactively to resolve environmental issues before they become project delays.

From clearing and grading to in-stream works and reclamation, we provide responsive environmental oversight that protects environmental values while helping construction progress safely, efficiently, and with confidence.

Protecting water quality is a critical component of in-stream construction. Our environmental professionals establish baseline water quality conditions before work begins and provide ongoing monitoring throughout construction to ensure activities remain compliant with regulatory requirements.

Using site-specific background samples, we monitor turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS), compare results against applicable regulatory thresholds, and provide timely guidance if mitigation measures are required. Our practical, real-time approach helps protect aquatic environments while supporting safe, efficient construction.

Water quality monitoring during in-stream construction requires qualified professionals who understand provincial regulatory requirements and accepted monitoring protocols.

In Alberta, our Qualified Aquatic Environmental Specialists (QAES) provide water quality monitoring and regulatory oversight in accordance with provincial requirements. In British Columbia, our Qualified Environmental Professionals (QEPs) deliver water quality monitoring, environmental compliance, and technical advice to support in-stream works and protect aquatic ecosystems.

Whether monitoring turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), or other water quality parameters, our experienced professionals provide accurate data, practical guidance, and timely reporting to help projects remain compliant while keeping construction moving safely and efficiently.

In-stream construction often requires the safe capture and relocation of fish before work can begin. Our Qualified Aquatic Environmental Specialists (QAES) in Alberta and Qualified Environmental Professionals (QEPs) in British Columbia plan and lead fish salvage programs in accordance with regulatory approvals and permit requirements.

Using approved capture techniques, we safely isolate work areas, capture and relocate fish, and document salvage activities to support regulatory compliance. Our experienced fisheries team works closely with project owners and construction crews to coordinate salvage activities efficiently, helping minimize impacts to aquatic ecosystems while reducing downtime and keeping projects on schedule.

From small watercourse crossings to large-scale infrastructure projects, we provide practical fisheries expertise that supports responsible in-stream construction across Western Canada.

Protecting wildlife while maintaining construction schedules requires experience, planning, and practical decision-making. Our biologists conduct pre-construction wildlife surveys, nest sweeps, Species at Risk assessments, and wildlife monitoring to identify sensitive wildlife features before ground disturbance begins.

Working closely with construction teams, we provide practical mitigation strategies, establish appropriate buffers, support regulatory compliance, and help navigate unexpected wildlife encounters in the field. From migratory birds and amphibians to mammals, reptiles, and federally or provincially listed Species at Risk, our team delivers responsive environmental support that protects wildlife while helping projects move forward safely and responsibly.

Our wildlife professionals have extensive experience supporting pipelines, transmission lines, renewable energy, mining, transportation, and infrastructure projects across Western Canada.

Effective erosion and sediment control is essential for protecting watercourses, maintaining regulatory compliance, and preventing costly environmental incidents during construction. Our team provides erosion and sediment control inspections, monitoring, and practical recommendations to help ensure control measures remain effective throughout the life of a project.

Our Certified Professionals in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) work with project owners and construction crews to assess site conditions, identify potential risks, and recommend practical solutions that can be implemented efficiently in the field. We support the installation, inspection, maintenance, and documentation of erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with regulatory requirements, project specifications, and industry best practices.

Clear, accurate reporting is essential for demonstrating environmental compliance and maintaining project accountability. Our team prepares timely, defensible environmental reports that document monitoring activities, inspections, mitigation measures, incidents, and regulatory commitments throughout construction.

Whether reporting to project owners, regulators, or Indigenous partners, we provide concise, well-organized documentation that supports informed decision-making and creates a clear record of environmental performance. Our reporting is tailored to project requirements and delivered with the quality, consistency, and attention to detail our clients expect.

From daily monitoring records and inspection reports to regulatory reporting and environmental closeout documentation, we provide the information needed to keep projects compliant, transparent, and moving forward with confidence.
