Corporate Overview

Terracon is an independent, Canadian consulting firm, wholly owned by its management staff. Established in 1978, the firm diversified and reorganized under the name Terracon Geotechnique Ltd. in 1983.   The firm primarily serves the Mining Industry and the Athabasca Oil Sands region from its administrative office in Calgary and office and soils and concrete laboratory in Fort McMurray.  Currently, Terracon employs over 200 people in the two offices and at a number of client field and office locations.

Our staff of professionals has extensive experience in the disciplines of Geotechnical, Mine, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Geology, and Hydrology. We understand project economics and have considerable experience in the support of production environments.  At Terracon we know that proper planning by experienced competent people with a common goal is the key to completing a successful cost-effective project.

Through our progressive management philosophies, Terracon remains committed to maintaining state-of-the-art technical expertise in this wide range of earth science related disciplines.  This is illustrated in Terracon’s extensive multi-disciplinary involvement in the development of Northern Alberta’s oil sand resources.   Practical current techniques in engineering design, operations and development capabilities are offered in these disciplines with supporting software services for projects in Canada and throughout the world.

Typical assignments have included training, design and project management functions in resource development, groundwater quality and supply, groundwater control, slope stability, waste disposal, instrumentation, monitoring, and environmental assessments.

Terracon has a Safety and Loss Management program, which has been developed by working closely with clients to ensure a proactive environment in all projects.  We are very proud to have held a Certificate of Recognition in Health and Safety by Alberta Human Resources and Employment for the past 8 years.

Terracon's measured growth has been fostered by staff ownership, disciplined project management, internal Quality Control and Quality Assurance programs, staff training, and peer review of projects. Terracon's achievements and growth reflect the confidence shown by our valued clients.
