#McElhanney was proud to sponsor the (WCE) Women in Consulting Engineering Vancouver lawn bowling and ice cream social last week. We had a blast catching up over an evening of lawn bowling in Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park.     It was an incredible opportunity to connect with inspiring women and allies in the industry while enjoying the summer weather. We can’t wait for the next event!     A big thank you to WCE for creating such a welcoming space for us to build meaningful relationships.     Learn more about WCE here: https://wcevancouver.com/ or join us at their next event! 👋 #WomenatMcElhanney #WomeninEngineering #CommunityEvents #Engineering #Vancouver #Allyship 

🚀 At #McElhanney, innovation is at the core of what we do. That is why we are proud to be part of AIRmarket Inc.‘s Alberta Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) Traffic Management Trials. These trials aim to establish air traffic control infrastructure and technologies to unlock Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) RPAS flight opportunities. Kudos to Stefan Kischkel, Mike Morellato, Olivier Hacking, Michael Dalgleish, and Jonathon Palmer alongside the iArt Alliance for leading technological advances to create efficiencies across the transportation, energy, and resources sectors. 👏🌍 Learn more about the partnership with AIRmarket and the Alberta RPAS Traffic Management Trials➡️ https://lnkd.in/ghzggPVw Watch here for insights on how the iART Alliance will enable RPAS Traffic Management Airspace in Alberta and beyond➡️ https://lnkd.in/g-YZXFpS #Drones #DroneTechnology #Innovation #AIRmarket #AlbertaRTMTrials

At #McElhanney, improving the communities where we live, work, and play is at the core of what we do, and as experts in bridge and culvert engineering, we were proud to provide emergency design services for our client Wheatland County      Our team quickly responded to an emergency bridge-sized culvert replacement within 24 hours after a sinkhole caused by an existing culvert failure was discovered on a gravel Township road. Despite unique challenges in designing the replacement structure, our multi-disciplinary team implemented innovative control solutions, such as: - Designing freeboard to account for the watercourse’s flow being impacted by a Western Irrigation District (WID) canal  - Implementing substrate holders and heavy rock riprap to create a nature substrate throughout the new crossing, allowing for ideal fish passage conditions along the steep channel.    - Riverbank armouring to protect the upstream and downstream aprons from scour, ensuring the durability of the new structure and previously eroding riverbanks. We’re proud to share that the construction wrapped up in less than one year after the sinkhole was discovered, marking an impressive timeline achievement. 🙌  Thank you to everyone involved in making this project a success! We’re proud to help build safer and more resilient communities across Western Canada. #BridgeCulvertReplacement #EmergencyDesign #EnvironmentalStewardship #BuildingCommunities    

🚴 Earlier this month, #McElhanney’s Planet Positive Committee put together a fantastic week of Go By Bike engagement activities that encouraged the team to get out on their bikes and enjoy the fresh air.     Kudos to everyone who took part in Go By Bike week! Your dedication to biking instead of driving is fantastic. Let's keep the #GoByBike spirit alive and continue choosing sustainable transportation.    Aidan Cooper, EIT, Project Engineer from our Edmonton Branch, agrees: “This was my first-time biking to work, and it won’t be the last, that’s for sure.”    #PlanetPositive #Sustainability 

Kudos to our very own Jarrett Maier, EIT, Civil Engineer from our Grande Prairie Branch, for coordinating the The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) Science Olympics event at Northwestern Polytechnic’s Grande Prairie Campus on June 1st.     The event was a resounding success with 130 enthusiastic students. The teams of students tackled exciting problem-solving challenges prepared by volunteer APEGA members to inspire and explore topics of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).     A shout out to the six McElhanney volunteers: Nisha Hajela, Manan Shah, Maria Pina, Tahlea Perry, Jarrett Maier, and Rachel Jebb. Thank you for your passion and commitment to help empower the next generation of engineers and geoscientists.     #McElhanney was proud to sponsor the event and would like to congratulate all the students who took part in the #SciOlympics! 👏    #STEM #CommunityEngagement #McElhanney #FutureEngineer  

🎉👩🔬 Happy International Women in Engineering Day from all of us at McElhanney! 👩🔧🎉 “McElhanney recognizes the vital role that diversity of thought plays in shaping the world,” reflects our new President & CEO, Jennifer Price, and retiring President & CEO, Allan Russell. “We, along with our executive team, believe that we have the responsibility to champion and create opportunities for women in engineering.” “I know what it feels like to be the only woman in the room, especially in leadership positions,” says Jennifer. “At McElhanney, we are committed to continue developing and expanding promotion of women into senior technical roles and management, including the Board. I look forward to leading McElhanney through these exciting times.”      McElhanney’s STEM scholarships, active participation at events like the Canadian Coalition of Women in Science, Engineering, Trades and Technology (CCWESTT), and hosting of professional networking events, contributes to fostering a more inclusive and diverse engineering community.   Together, let's continue to champion diversity, equality, and empowerment in engineering, today and every day!     Thank you to McElhanney colleagues for their participation and leadership at the #CCWEST2024 event (l-r): Rob Dhillon, CRSP, Sandy Hemstock, R.P.Bio., P.Biol., Haley Waldhaus and Kennedy Rolston.  #INWED24 #WomenInEngineering #DiversityInSTEM #EmpowerHer

Congratulations to our Women at McElhanney Committee for hosting an engaging conversation on “Unlocking Your Early Career Potential.” This event brought together over 60 women across McElhanney within the first three years of their career. The virtual event touched on themes like understanding your strengths, harnessing mentorship, and fostering allyship.     A huge thank you to The Thoughtful Co., and our internal presenters Monika Sajdak, EIT, Joanne Lee, Cristina Hutchinson, P.Eng., and Karen S. for sharing your insights and experiences.   This event was especially meaningful as we head into International Women in Engineering Day. It was such a great opportunity to connect with one another.  Wishing everyone a happy #INWED this Sunday, June 23rd.     #McElhanney #WomenInEngineering #InternationalWomeninEngineeringDay #INWED2024 #WomenatMcElhanney  

We share knowledge to contribute to a better future. 🌟 McElhanney team members from our water and wastewater infrastructure division and our water resources division shared their knowledge in five different technical presentations this spring. These presentations ignited ideas, fueled conversations, and contributed to change. We’re proud to be home to these change-makers!
