BGC engineers have undertaken geological and geotechnical investigations in a wide variety of settings, from permafrost to tropical residual soil; and from Canadian Shield bedrock to soil-like clay shales. The scale of investigations range from regional to structure specific details, including:

Airphoto interpretation, terrain analysis, analysis of satellite imagery.
Regional seismicity and tectonics.
Regional bedrock and overburden geology mapping, hydrogeology.
Transmission line and tunnel route selection, structures reconnaissance.
Reservoir integrity.
