The Government of Alberta recognized the need for additional electrical transmission infrastructure to support the growth of the oil sands in northern Alberta. The Alberta Electrical System Operator (AESO) requested competitive proposals to develop, own, and operate a 500 kV transmission line from Edmonton to Fort McMurray in northern Alberta.
Stormwater Management Functional Design
As part of its Riverbend South Development, the City of London, Ontario needed to design stormwater facilities that would ensure the protection of sensitive fish habitat in a tributary to the Thames River.
CANA Substation Soil Management and Inspection
CANA was hired by a local transmission utility company to replace a transformer and conduct upgrades to an existing substation. The utility company, who CANA was working for, had project specific environmental requirements which CANA was obligated to meet.
Subwatershed Study to Support Land Use Planning
In order to develop a new urban area, the Government of Ontario required our client, a local municipality, to complete a Conceptual Master Plan guided by the Government’s Official Plan. Our client’s Conceptual Master Plan was required to provide an understanding of the water resources and natural heritage system function and was used to develop Secondary and Master Environmental Servicing Plans.
Canmore Cougar Creek Debris Flood Retention
Heavy rains in the Bow Valley in 2013 caused a debris flood on Cougar Creek that resulted in widespread damage to municipal infrastructure, homes, property, businesses, the Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 1A, and the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Town of Canmore invested significant time and effort in evaluating different mitigation options and, as a result, proposed the construction of a debris flood retention structure.

We routinely lead characterization of stream morphology to:
- Assess fluvial erosion hazards
- Develop alternatives for erosion control in environmental assessments
- Develop management strategies as part of land use planning (subwatershed, secondary, tertiary plans and site plans)
- Assist in culvert/bridge design
- Define erosion thresholds to inform stormwater management
