Integrated. Superior. Sustainable.

On all of our projects, we strive to meet the demands of communities, positively impact their economies, and honour both the environment and the needs of future generations.

The Integrated Service Advantage

Chatwin Engineering offers Civil Engineering and Planning.

On all of our projects, we strive to meet the demands of communities, positively impact their economies, and honour both the environment and the needs of future generations.

We are able to satisfy these diverse needs by combining the talents of our civil engineers and technologists, with our planners.

Having these talented individuals in the same building, working together during the conceptual, design and construction phases of a project, avoids costly design iterations caused by a lack of understanding of the sustainable elements of a project. As a result, Chatwin’s infrastructure strategies have superior outcomes and offer superior value.

Superior, Sustainable Results

We pioneered “climate action” approaches to steep slope developments that are now used as a template for development in Nanaimo’s steep slope areas.

We consistently deliver cost effective, sustainable, and ecologically friendly solutions across the board.
