Infrastructure Design
Proven expertise and reliability in infrastructure design.
Proper infrastructure is the foundation of our communities, the hidden support system for our homes, business, and neighbourhoods. It’s what works behind the scenes when you turn on the tap, flush the toilet, or drive over a bridge.
At GM BluePlan, we believe that it’s important that infrastructure improves the quality of life across communities. Our approach to infrastructure design is focused on the full life cycle, by building systems and facilities that last and can be easily maintained. We understand that current project designs will need to serve our communities for the next 50 to 100 years, and we’re committed to doing the job right.
We offer infrastructure design for a range of projects, including linear infrastructure, water facilities, wastewater facilities, and stormwater facilities. We also provide a variety of specialized services to support these projects and complementary infrastructure renewal and construction services.
