About Us
 

Our People

Our engineers, geoscientists, and technologists are dedicated to finding innovative yet practical solutions to our clients' technical problems. To that end, we provide ongoing in-house training and mentoring, and encourage participation in conferences, seminars and specialty courses. By creating an environment for growth and opportunity, we have successfully attracted and retained great people, who are the cornerstone of our success.

Our Approach

For each project, we assemble a team of people with the appropriate combination of training and experience for the assignment. A senior professional heads up the team, providing technical input and assuming overall responsibility for the project. We work closely with our clients through to project completion, and are always sensitive to their needs.

Our History

In 1957, Reginald Thurber started a small consulting engineering firm in Victoria, B.C., specializing in soil mechanics and foundation engineering. Within a few years, the company expanded to mainland B.C., and into Alberta. In 1991, Thurber added a Toronto office, and currently has nine offices and more than 200 employees Canada wide.
