Matrix Solutions Inc. services

Matrix professionals can solve environmental planning and regulatory challenges during project development:

The intersection of watercourses by linear features such as access roads and pipelines, presents a variety of challenges for industry and project proponents. Federal and provincial legislation is  in place to protect aquatic ecosystems, fish and fish habitats; and, the consequences of impacts can be costly in terms of project delays, regulatory penalties and corporate reputation.

Matrix is a leader in pre-disturbance assessments (PDAs) and detailed conservation and reclamation (C&R) planning for in situ developments in the boreal region. We are recognized for our comprehensive client support, which is founded solidly on our: in depth and up to date understanding of  PDA/C&R regulatory requirements; expertise in assessment of soil, vegetation and hydrology conditions of the boreal forest; understanding of the safety, geology and  engineering considerations in facility layout  and route alignments; preparation of detailed conservation and reclamation plans; extensive experience in construction requirements, equipment  capability and construction supervision; and expertise in soil and vegetation management plans.

Matrix personnel can develop and implement solutions for potentially contaminated sites that comply with client and regulatory requirements:

Operations and facilities associated with impacts to an aquatic environment can become a serious liability. Aquatic risk assessment yields information to support important, cost-saving decisions. In the absence of aquatic risk assessment, an operator is too often provided with few options other than a costly remediation plan. Through understanding the nature of contamination and the aquatic habitat, it becomes possible to evaluate economically and technically feasible options for environmentally protective actions.

Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Compliance and Management System Audits are recognized and established practices for regulatory compliance management.

Matrix personnel can develop and implement customized decommissioning and restoration solutions for clients, facility operators and government regulators:

Matrix has extensive experience in developing, implementing and monitoring reclamation programs for our clients. With major offices and field support locations throughout Western Canada we are well positioned to offer core reclamation services for today`s tight market while balancing regulatory demand for a higher level of technical proficiency. Matrix employs agrologists, agriculturists, vegetation specialists, soil scientists, chemists and technical specialists who are experienced with current reclamation regulations, and can provide insight into new pending regulations.
