March Engineers and Designers bring a wealth of expertise and experience across industrial, commercial, and municipal sectors. Our track record includes successfully delivering diverse projects, from replacing structural components to constructing state-of-the-art processing plants and everything in between.
In Structural Engineering, we excel in asset integrity, thin-walled shell structure design (silos and tanks), computational mechanics, 3D modeling, maintenance, inspections, structural health monitoring, and lifting devices.
For Civil Engineering, our expertise encompasses pond design, civil works, below ground infrastructure, and water treatment systems (waste and potable).
