We help clients manage their bridge, culvert and drainage infrastructure

We possess the expertise and experience to identify the most suitable maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement options, ensuring a balance between the lowest overall life cycle costs and capital expenditures.

Our specializations

We specialize in bridge and culvert engineering, including inspections, assessments, and maintenance. Our expertise extends to road design, drainage design, and hydrotechnical engineering. We manage all aspects of project delivery, from preliminary and detailed design to contract administration, construction supervision, and post-construction reporting. Throughout every phase, we are committed to delivering the highest quality standards to ensure the success and longevity of your infrastructure.

Bridge/Culvert Inspections
MPA has many provincially certified Class A and Class B Inspectors.

Level II Inspectors

Our firm offers comprehensive design, contract preparation / administration, and construction supervision services for replacement bridge culverts, various types of bridges (local road, highway, oil-field, pedestrian), and drainage projects.
