LEARNING CENTRE
The engineers and technicians at PRI Engineering is providing their expertise and insight on all areas of geotechnical engineering. Focussed on solar foundation design and geotechnical investigations for infrastructure projects, we draw on experience from real-life projects to provide articles and more below.
Sitting Down with PRI Engineering Intern Ryan Boljkovac
Soil testing is a foundational aspect of geotechnical engineering, critical for assessing the suitability of the subsurface conditions for proposed developments, construction methodology selection, and environmental assessments.
How to Conduct Comprehensive Soil Testing: A Step-by-Step Guide
At PRI Engineering we pride ourselves on our company culture and opportunities for growth. Our internship program gives current engineering students the ability to learn from expert engineers and get hands on experience that they’ll be able to bring with them in the next steps of their careers.
PRI Engineering’s Innovative Approach to Geotechnical Challenges at Blue Jay Lane Residential Development
Sometimes the pre-construction of residential buildings can be more complex than when the team finally breaks ground.
Webinar: Dispelling Solar Racking Foundation Myths for Cold Climates: Moving Beyond a One-Fits-All Solution
Cold weather regions in North America come with unique subsurface or ground conditions challenges from a geological history with glaciation combined with environmental forces, especially frost uplift, that impacts significantly the design considerations of these lightly loaded structures.
Webinar: Reducing Solar Foundation Risk
In this webinar, we will define some of the largest risks to consider with solar foundations, how to design systems for cold climates and provide an understanding of overall frost uplift.
It’s Soil, Not Dirt: Podcast S1:E5 Hydrogeology P2 with Mike Francis, P.Geo
Mike Francis, P.Geo, Project Manager at GEMS joins PRI Engineering to speak about hydrogeology. This second episode of two covers discusses water management in the city of Toronto, Ontario, and common issues in large urban centers.
Skating on Flat Ice: Why Concrete Testing is Important for Ice Rinks (and Hockey)
When watching hockey games or skating on indoor ice, we are not typically thinking about the quality of concrete beneath the surface of the ice.
It’s Soil, Not Dirt: Podcast S1:E5 Hydrogeology P1 with Mike Francis, P.Geo
Mike Francis, P.Geo, Project Manager at GEMS joins Arash Yazdani, the Director of Engineering at PRI Engineering and Erick Thurston, also from PRI to speak about hydrogeology. This first episode of two covers the basics of hydrogeology.
Grand Opening: New Location in Calgary
We are celebrating the grand opening of our office in Calgary. As a thanks to our client and partners, we are inviting everyone to view the office, and enjoy snacks and other refreshments.
Case Study: PRI Engineering Takes on Arctic Permafrost During Solar Project
Early last year, the Canadian federal government pledged $8 million to develop eight clean energy projects in the Northwest territories.
SOIL ENGINEERS TALKING ABOUTSOIL AND OTHER STUFF.
From designing solar foundations to erosion hazard assessments, It’s Soil Not Dirt focuses on all aspects of geotechnical engineering and the topics that matter most today, with an emphasis on sustainability and renewables.
