CBCL Limited
The company is now one of the largest multidisciplinary
consulting practices in Atlantic Canada.
The broad spectrum of engineering and architectural services has
been enhanced by the use of in-house computer expertise. We
maintain 'state-of-the-art' level through the use of
custom-designed and special programs created here and abroad,
and by inhouse modifications.
We have had considerable experience in the team approach to
project execution. The firm has successfully completed projects
in association with other engineering firms, as well as with
inter-disciplinary groups such as planners, economists, and
architects.
We have worked for a variety of clients in the role of both prime
consultant, with contractual responsibility, using the services
of other firms, as well as in the role of supporting consultant.
Recently, the company has become increasingly active in
Public/Private Partnership and Design/Build projects. These
projects have expanded our experience and skill working on inter-
disciplinary projects.
CBCL Limited continues to expand its expertise in order to meet
new demands placed upon the private and public sectors in an ever
changing environment.
The total staff available in January 2003 at all of our Atlantic
Canada offices is over 200. The Head Office, at Halifax, is the
largest office and over 150 staff are located in The Brewery on
Hollis Street. This includes engineers, scientists,
technologists, architects and support staff.

Company Description:
CBCL Limited was established as a partnership in 1952 under the name Canadian British Engineering Consultants. Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia since 1955, the firm has developed into one of the largest multi-discipline engineering firms in Atlantic Canada.
According to project needs, CBCL provides the multidiscipline expertise required to see an assignment through from concept to completion. This expertise includes liaison with regulatory agencies, planning, scheduling, cost estimating and budgeting, detailed design, procurement, contract administration, construction inspection, operational training and documentation.
CBCL provides studies and detailed design on collection, handling, treatment, storage and disposal of solid wastes and hazardous material. The firm has specialists in landfill projects from site selection, hydrogeological investigation, design, monitoring, and operational permitting through to closure planning, including finish grading and landscaping. CBCL has written the Nova Scotia Landfill Guidelines.
CBCL has also undertaken projects in wastewater collection, treatment, and discharge for over 30 communities throughout Atlantic Canada. Waste treatment designs range form simple stabilization ponds to complex plants incorporating primary, secondary and tertiary treatment.
CBCL is able to provide complete services for water systems, from surface and groundwater resource analysis through water treatment, storage and distribution of new communities, fish plants, pulp mills, subdivision, industrial parks and expansions to major systems.
As well, CBCL designs drainage systems which include local storm sewers, collectors, tunnels, and outfalls. Studies determine inflow / infiltration and control methods, impact of urban development on quantity and characteristic of storm water flow, as well as erosion control.
Some recent corporate initiatives or ventures which have been undertaken by CBCL include public-private partnerships (schools, highways, buildings); building science; system controls and data acquisition (SCADA); performance contracting and design build.
CBCL's offices are found in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Sidney, Nova Scotia; Saint John New Brunswick, and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Certified under ISO 9001 quality standards.

Environmental Products And Services
Access Platforms And Enclosures.
Access platforms and enclosures were designed to encapsulate the specific work area. The exposed structures are analyzed structurally to ensure they remain stable under the additional wind loading caused by the designed enclosures.
Pre-design And Design Of Water Supply/Distribution Systems.
The planning and design of potable water systems have been carried out for communities with a population of up to 300,000. A wide variety of treatment processes are used, including high rate flocculation and dissolved air flotation (DAF) to reduce the presence of colour, turbidity, odour, taste, unwanted mineral and control hardness and aggressiveness.
Environmentally Sustainable Architecture.
The concept of sustainability is an important underlying principle of good architectural design. A new generation of facilities has emerged that incorporates this new paradigm throughout the design approach, as well as within the actual fabric of the building. Materials used in construction and in furnishing interiors often come from depleted resources.
Often they require manufacturing processes notorious for air and water pollution, or energy usage. The new architectural paradigm is based on ecologically sensitive and environmentally sustainable principals, and becomes an integral part of the entire design process.
