Congratulations to our team members, our clients, and project partners for their efforts and successful demonstrations of technical excellence and teamwork in delivering projects benefiting our local communities.

Award of Excellence in the Studies, Software and Special Services category for the Coast-to-Coast Understanding Infrastructure Maintenance Needs project for Parks Canada

Associated Engineering played a transformative role in modernizing asset management for Parks Canada Agency, who oversee 18,000 assets valued at 28 billion dollars. Leveraging innovative data-driven methodologies and working closely with the agency’s Service Management branch, Associated evaluated hundreds of assets across Park’s diverse portfolio in remote and challenging areas across Canada. Associated developed a custom asset information system which integrates condition, maintenance, energy, climate risk, and code information. The results from this project provides Parks Canada with the integrated information required to better enable decision making and investment planning.

Award of Merit in the Community Outreach and In-House Initiatives category for Building Community Capacity in Duncan First Nation

Duncan First Nation's care and creative vision, through the Heavy Equipment Operator Training Program, enabled their community members to attain new skills and secure employment, all the while upgrading infrastructure and boosting morale in the community. Associated Engineering collaboratively worked along side Duncan First Nation to assist with funding applications, reports, designs, and construction support services. Together, Duncan First Nation and Associated Engineering set in motion a model that other communities can adopt and adapt to their own needs.

Award of Merit in the Project Management category for Design-Build Innovation and Collaborative Project Management of the West Calgary Ring Road

The delivery of the West Calgary Ring Road project, a vital transportation initiative in Alberta, exemplifies design-build innovation and collaborative project management. Built in two segments, the project includes eight kilometres of the new Stoney Trail, 27 bridges including four service interchanges, as well as the full reconstruction of five kilometers of the TransCanada Highway. As the Owner's Engineer, Associated Engineering’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and delivering value for money resulted in quantifiable cost savings of over 30 million dollars. Innovative project management strategies helped achieve minimal claims, exceptional safety, and on-time delivery, setting new benchmarks for excellence.
