Field Services
Find your Competitive Edge
At PEC, we ask questions. We rethink solutions, before they become problems. No matter the project parameters, together we’ll achieve remarkable results.
Our drive is undeterred. Nothing excites us more than tackling construction projects that pose complex logistical challenges. With expertise in transportation, mining, and power, we have the expertise to provide various construction services to support your project.
Survey
Map the Possibilities
With offices across Canada, we have the regional expertise to take on land surveys of all sizes and scope. Our local knowledge, surveying techniques, and use of today’s best technology allow us to capture data with the utmost accuracy and precision.
Through GPS and conventional systems, our survey services can support every stage of your construction project. We’re registered with the Association of Canada Lands Surveyors (ACLS), and meet all Legal Survey requirements within the ACLS jurisdiction.
Our survey services include:
- Data Collection
- Construction Layout Services
- Topographical survey
- Drone (Lidar)
- Drone inspection services
- Earthwork and volume surveys
- Watercourse surveys
Residential Field Engineering Services
The Sharpest Minds
Whether your designs are developed in-house or by PEC, we ensure the final product exceeds expectations. We follow rigorous quality assurance and control procedures and develop clear Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) to simplify the inspection process. Our experienced team is equipped to make quick, effective decisions in the field — helping to avoid delays, reduce costs, and keep your project moving forward.
The Residential Field Engineering Services provided by PEC:
- Inspection
- Verification survey
- Infrastructure testing and commissioning
Pile Driving Analysis (PDA)
Robust Technology
Pile Driving Analysis (PDA) is a powerful tool. It’s the most efficient method to determine subsurface conditions that affect pile performance, especially when limited geotechnical data is available.
Certified by the Pile Driving Contractors Association, our PDA team will supply you with detailed, real-time intelligence that assesses pile capacity. This information provides the parameters to execute construction projects safely and accurately. The result: precious savings on both construction time and material.
Our PDA solutions include:
- Determination of design drivability
- Blow count criteria estimation
- Pile driving program optimization
- Pile integrity testing
- Impact energy testing
- Hammer performance
- Bearing capacity estimation
- Determination of soil resistance distribution
- Determination of soil parameters
- Compression and uplift test simulation
Material Testing
Measure Up
From aggregates and asphalts to concrete, we’ve provided material testing services across Western and Northern Canada since 2010. Our skilled technicians perform quality control tests right from our CCIL-certified lab.
We can also perform material testing for you, directly in the field. With mobile labs, we’re equipped to perform all standard aggregate and asphalt quality control tests.
