At Associated Engineering, we believe that as stewards of our environment, we have a responsibility to safeguard our water, land, and air resources. Our environmental engineers and scientists embrace this philosophy. Our areas of specialty include: Environmental Science & Management, solid waste management, landfill design, composting, odour control.

Associated Engineering`s environmental specialists work closely with our clients and communities to minimize the environmental impact of human activities and develop practical mitigation measures, while considering financial sustainability. We consider the impacts of projects on the surrounding environment, including creeks, rivers and water bodies, aquatic life, birds, wildlife, trees and vegetation, and habitat, as well as communities and stakeholders. Our broad scope of services includes baseline inventory, environmental assessment, mitigation design, permitting and approvals, monitoring, reclamation and restoration, environmental management systems, and policy development. Working with owners, local, provincial, and federal regulatory agencies, and stakeholders, we identify environmental impacts, develop alternatives for remediation and mitigation, and complete design and construction of mitigative measures.

Associated Engineering`s experience comprises solid waste management plans for small communities, large urban centers, and regional municipalities, in Canada and overseas. Our approach to solid waste management integrates the principles of waste reduction, reuse, recycling, recovery, with the needs of community, and the requirements of our clients. While we consider landfilling for wastes that cannot be reused, recycled or recovered, we also assess options such as composting and incineration/waste-to-energy facilities.

Our experience includes landfill siting, design, operation and filling plans, and closure plans. We have assisted clients in locating and evaluating landfill sites, and understand the need to consider public and stakeholder acceptance, access, leachate control and treatment, aesthetics, and economics.

Associated Engineering has the expertise and experience to solve today`s complex wastewater problems in an environmentally-safe and affordable manner. Our services range from liquid waste management planning to detailed design and construction management. Using state-of-the-art process design software, we can analyze and optimize existing treatment plant operation, plan economical upgrades, or design new treatment facilities. Our team of wastewater specialists is known for its ability to provide innovative solutions to unique problems, as demonstrated on the Greater Vancouver Regional District`s Secondary Treatment Project which featured the largest trickling filter/solids contact (TF/SC) plant in the world, as well as the first extended thermophilic anaerobic digesters. While we are always looking for opportunities to innovate, we also believe in traditional solutions and using the appropriate level of technology for the client.

Associated Engineering offers a wide range of services in the Water Resources field.  The strength of our water resources team results from our expertise in hydrologic and hydraulic engineering, combined with our ability to use and interpret a variety of software packages.  Our team is conversant with a number of dynamic one-dimensional software platforms including SWMM 5 (PCSWMM, XP-SWMM), MIKE FLOOD (MIKE URBAN, MIKE 11), and InfoWorks CS.  Where warranted, we use dynamic two-dimensional software including River 2D and MIKE 21.  We also have specialists that analyze complex three-dimensional dynamic problems using CFD Fluent.
