<h1>Concentric Associates International Incorporated is registered to practice engineering in most of the Provinces and Territories in Canada. </h1> We have three full time offices in Canada: London Iqaluit and Ottawa. We are a Canadian Engineering company, providing a suite of consulting services that focus on buildings and the environment. Building Design and Rehabilitation – parallel streams in our building services group. Design expertise includes new construction, additions and alterations for most building types and occupancy groups. We develop and implement rehabilitation programs for buildings and major building systems. We successfully deliver technically and logistically demanding assignments, on time, and at or below budget. Make Concentric Engineers a part of your next building project team. We offer an extensive suite of Building Engineering Services for the building owner or manager: Engineering Assessment - We undertake multi-disciplinary inspection and assessment of buildings and specialty structures. Assessments may be for code compliance upgrades, serviceability needs, expansion, conversion, or alteration. We can provide construction cost estimates for planned works, and capital cost forecasting based on life cycle analysis. Design - Design capability includes new construction, additions, upgrades, and alterations for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial occupancies. We offer both traditional design and Design-Build options, using innovative design techniques, in accordance with current building codes and standards. Rehabilitation - Our Building Rehabilitation services encompass restoration and/or upgrade to all major building systems and components. We have the capability to take on technically and logistically challenging assignments, which are demanding in terms of public safety, scheduling, cost control, and minimizing disruption. We are also adept at coordinating multi-disciplinary engineering projects requiring broad spectrum expertise Building Science - Building envelope assessment, maintenance, and upgrade are necessary tasks that owners and managers face if they are to preserve their asset. We help to coordinate and prioritize repairs and upgrades as the building stock ages. We offer: Building Envelope Assessment, Design, Upgrade & Retrofit Invasive and Non-Invasive Testing & Reporting Roofing Assessment, Management Plans, Design & Replacement Programs Forensic Services - Forensic Engineering services apply to system failure, catastrophic damage, premature deterioration, and performance issues. Weather effects, mechanical damage, fatigue, corrosion, and overloading are a few of the more common effects that, alone, or in combination, can cause facility problems. Following a review of relevant data, an analysis based on pre-existing conditions, and consideration of all likely internal and external factors, we provide a formal report on cause and reparation, with capital cost implications. <h1>ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS </h1> A small business owner needs an Environmental Site Assessment to obtain financing to purchase a vacant property; a property management group needs to monitor exposure levels of various potentially hazardous substances on one of their renovation projects and advise demolition workers on the appropriate personal protective equipment; an insurance company needs to represent the interests of a homeowner whose neighbour has had an extensive fuel oil leak. Every circumstance requiring environmental consulting is unique. Some situations are driven by financing requirements, some purely by local, provincial and/or federal legislation. Regardless of the impetus for an environmental consultant, one premise factors into every case: risk. At Concentric, we use a proven planning-based approach to mitigate environmental risk wherever possible. If there is an inherent environmental risk that cannot be fully mitigated, we make sense of the issues, communicate them in logical way and develop appropriate recommendations to manage the risk. Our experience and diversified team of Engineers, Scientists and Technologists can provide a wide range of environmental engineering solutions tailored to suit the diverse needs of both public and private clients. We take pride in providing timely, knowledgeable, and cost-effective environmental consulting solutions. The following are some of the environmental consulting services we provide: Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I, II, III) Contaminated Site Clean-Up Hazardous/Designated Substance Surveys and Abatement Soil, Waste and Water sampling Environmental Compliance Audits Storage Tank Compliance Audits Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), and in particular, mold, has become a significant or major common concern in commercial, residential and public buildings. Molds are fungal micro-organisms that are found virtually everywhere and can grow on any organic substance. Molds play a vital role in nature by breaking down organic matter however, in the indoor environment molds have the potential to adversely affect indoor air quality, produce odours, and may result in significant health problems.A quick overview of just a few of our mold and IAQ related services: Inspection of building finishes, mechanical systems, ducting, and building envelope for potential mold presence and propagation Verification of mold presence and species through laboratory testing Risk assessment of potential problems associated with identified mold species Investigation of worker complaints with respect to indoor air quality Sampling and assessment of common indoor air quality indicators such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, temperature and humidity The development of mold remedial specifications, abatement and prevention strategies in accordance with established protocols On-site supervision and monitoring during abatement projects Our team of experienced inspectors is adept in the investigation of the building envelope and mechanical systems, paying special attention to windows, doors, siding, drains and other areas where water typically enters buildings, as well as ductwork, filters, and mechanical equipment.
