there is still the sense of being part of
a family. “We strive to maintain that
as we move forward while continuing
to keep safety, one of our core values,
top-of-mind.”
At GeoVerra, safety really does
come first. It’s recognized as a group
effort and a lifestyle that works to the
benefit of everyone. To that end, the
company uses eCompliance, a webbased
safety management platform
that provides visibility into safety
performance in real-time. This platform
allows two-way communication
between on-site employees and
in-office management, thus strengthening
engagement in safety at
all levels of the organization. At
GeoVerra, safety truly is a way of life,
enhanced by technology as is every
other aspect of the company.
Another defining factor of GeoVerra
lies in its mandate to look for innovative
approaches to the work they do,
always. One example is an environmental
sustainability initiative the
company is currently working on: a
technology called ExACT Emissions
Monitoring – a patented greenhouse
gas emissions monitoring technology.
Ettinger takes pride in the entrepreneurial
spirit and strong work ethic of
the company’s teams as they develop
customized solutions for clients in
diverse industries.
“Piling contractors are more and
more moving to machine control, but
may not have the knowledge or technical
403-569-6986 RSFoundations.ca
background to use the equipment to
its full capability. We can provide support
for that technology, complete the
calculations, provide quality control,
communicate with the design engineer
to resolve potential issues, download the
required information to the machines
and have site control established so the
piling contractors can run the piling
machine themselves. This is where we
can build mutually beneficial partnerships
and really have a control and
quality assurance process.”
Cutting-edge technical expertise
and the extensive experience and scope
of its team mean GeoVerra offers its
clients a wide variety of geomatics services.
With offices in 28 cities and towns
across Western Canada and Ontario,
the company can take on large, complex
work, yet its extensive network allows it
to be competitive for smaller projects at
the local level.
“If there’s a piling contractor out
there working in Western Canada or
Ontario, we’re going to have an office
close by,” said Ettinger. “At the same
time, a multinational piling company
could partner with us and have us on
site for every project they work on.
“It’s an interesting time right now as
we integrate our teams. The people we
have, the technology … it’s amazing.
And we’ve launched through a pandemic,
which is no easy feat, but the
work ethic and resilience of this group
have made it a success.
“We’re a professional company
with engineers and commissioned
land surveyors. Piling contractors can
be assured they are working with the
best in the industry – professionals
with incredibly high standards and
certainly no worries about liability
insurance. When piling contractors
contact us, they know they’re going to
get reliable results.”
The vision statement of GeoVerra is:
To be the most trusted and respected
geomatics company, consistently
delivering reliable, forward-thinking
solutions and unparalleled service.
This concept is what brought
together two seasoned geomatics teams
to work as one, developing and providing
industry-leading solutions and
world-class service to the Canadian
geomatics landscape now and into
the future.
