What we do

One partner across software, engineering and capability

Four integrated practices, engineered to work together on your most demanding infrastructure programs.

Connected data environment

One model. Every discipline. The whole asset lifecycle.

We connect design, analysis, construction and operations data so decisions are made against a single source of engineering truth — not a folder of stale exports.

Engineering services

Explore the capability behind every engagement

Select a practice to see what our engineers actually deliver — and where it applies.

Engineering Consulting

Basic and conceptual engineering, detailed engineering, procurement support and commissioning — grounded in computational analysis and practical project experience.

Basic & Conceptual Engineering

Early-phase engineering that frames the problem, evaluates options and sets projects on a sound technical footing.

Detailed Engineering

Production-ready engineering deliverables: models, calculations, drawings and specifications.

Computational Analysis

High-performance computational services for structural, thermal and dynamic problems.

Procurement Engineering Support

Technical evaluation of vendor documents, equipment and materials against project requirements.

Structural integrity

Finite element analysis, fatigue and fitness-for-service  done by the engineers who teach it

From linear statics to advanced nonlinear FEA, our integrity team assesses pressure equipment, structures and rotating assets to API 579, ASME and CSA standards.

How we work

A delivery method built around the asset, not the invoice

Five stages that carry an asset from first assessment to a living digital twin — each one staffed by engineers who do the work themselves.

  1. Understand the asset

    We start with the engineering reality — loads, codes, condition data, delivery constraints — before any software or scope conversation.

  2. Select the right toolchain

    Discipline-matched Bentley applications, licensed the way your team actually works: perpetual, subscription or enterprise access.

  3. Analyse and verify

    Linear and nonlinear FEA, fatigue, seismic and fitness-for-service work performed to API, ASME and CSA standards.

  4. Build the capability

    Instructor-led training and mentoring so the workflow stays in-house after the engagement closes.

  5. Operate the digital twin

    Risk-based inspection, reality capture and connected data environments that keep decisions current for the asset's life.

Professional training

Software skill is a project deliverable

Instructor-led Bentley training — fundamentals through advanced workflows — delivered virtually, on-site or hybrid, across Canada. Every course available by request.

  • Courses mapped to real project workflows, not feature tours
  • Delivered by engineers who use the software in practice
  • Corporate programs and private cohorts available

Questions

Straight answers on software, services and support

The questions engineers and asset owners ask us most — answered without the sales script.

What is structural integrity analysis?

Structural integrity analysis evaluates whether a structure or component can safely carry its intended loads over its design life. It combines code compliance checks, finite element analysis, and assessments such as fatigue, fracture, seismic and vibration response to identify risk before it becomes failure.

What is risk-based inspection?

Risk-based inspection (RBI) is a methodology that prioritizes inspection activities based on the probability and consequence of equipment failure. Instead of inspecting everything on a fixed schedule, RBI directs effort toward the assets where failure would matter most, improving safety while optimizing inspection cost.

What is Bentley STAAD?

STAAD is a Bentley structural analysis and design application used to model, analyze and design steel, concrete, timber and aluminium structures. Engineers use it for buildings, industrial structures and infrastructure that must comply with international design codes.

What is Bentley SELECT?

Bentley SELECT is a subscription programme that provides access to Bentley software licences along with support, training options and portfolio flexibility. It is commonly used by organizations that want predictable annual licensing and the ability to scale usage with project demand.

What is pipe stress analysis?

Pipe stress analysis evaluates how piping systems respond to pressure, temperature, weight and dynamic loads. It confirms that piping, supports and connected equipment stay within code allowables, preventing leaks, fatigue failures and damage to pumps, turbines and vessels.

What is asset integrity management?

Asset integrity management is the structured process of keeping industrial assets safe, reliable and compliant throughout their lifecycle. It combines performance standards, verification activities, inspection planning and management of change to ensure equipment continues to perform its intended function.
