Construction season in the harsh winter climate of Canada offers exciting opportunities and complex technical challenges in the northern regions of our country.

Malcolm Shield, P.Eng. Ph.D., PMP (Energy Planning and Emissions Specialist) and Jeremy Fyke, Ph.D. (Manager, Climate Services) discuss how the private sector has an important role in delivering effective solutions to a changing climate.

Senior Environmental Planner, Richard Simpson, explains how recent changes to environmental legislation may affect a variety of projects across Canada.

Alternative delivery is increasingly being adopted in the public and private sectors. Associated Engineering has participated on projects employing various modes of alternative delivery.

Many earthquakes around the world have shown that rapid access to a functioning transportation network is among the most critical needs of a region, their businesses, and residents to respond and recover from a damaging earthquake. More work is needed in areas of high seismicity, like British Columbia, to understand seismic behaviour and any lack of resilience of our transportation infrastructure, and to conduct seismic retrofits and renewal of bridges, the key links in our transportation networks.

In the previous Climate Change Conversations, we described how we know with confidence that human activity is driving ongoing climate change, and how this change will accelerate in the future. In this edition, we will explore what this change means for climate at the local scale, how it relates to natural weather patterns, and how it can be integrated into engineering design.

In the second installment of our Climate Change Conversations, Climate Science & Modelling Specialist, Jeremy Fyke, explores what is causing current climate change, and how this change could accelerate in the future.
