The partnership between GeoVerra and TMEP runs deep, with relationships built between individual team members at all levels from Field Supervisors, Crew Chiefs, and Technical Staff up through Project Managers, Senior Party Chiefs and Directors. GeoVerra’s acute attention to detail and transfer of deliverables has been key to ensuring that project deadlines are met and client expectations are exceeded. With recent supply chain issues, attention to even the smallest details – like sourcing quality stakes and paint pens to withstand the effects of weather and harsh environments – can impact project timelines. It takes exceptional project management skills, which the GeoVerra team has in spades with many members having over 20+ years’ experience. Managing relationships with contractors and suppliers, which number in the 100s for a project of this size, is also crucial. Timely, open and straightforward communication is critical to safe, efficient, and quality operations. Coordination of resources on complex projects – both people and equipment – requires continuous communication at all levels, whether in daily site safety meetings, survey crews connecting with foremen and supervisors, or technical coordination between office teams.

The GeoVerra team working on the TMEP includes up to 40 survey crews and 50 support staff. Not only has GeoVerra supplied the personnel required to get the job done, but they are responsive in their approach, adapting to client requirements as the need for crews ebbs and flows. The credibility built through a deep knowledge of pipeline work and the partnerships fostered both with TMEP and First Nations groups were key to GeoVerra being awarded the survey work.Īs Canada’s largest geomatics firm, GeoVerra has the offices, resources, and teams to meet the needs of large, high-profile pipeline projects like the TMEP. Several of GeoVerra’s team members have been working closely with the TMEP Engineering group for over 10 years, delivering efficient, reliable results.
