McElhanney is helping advance infrastructure planning and project delivery in Prince Rupert, supporting long-term growth across the region.

Recently featured in The Northern View, Division Manager Sean Carlson highlighted how a data-driven, collaborative approach is helping clients reduce risk and move projects forward with confidence.

“Being asked to contribute to The Northern View feature reflects McElhanney’s ongoing commitment to Prince Rupert,” says Carlson. “Our team lives and works in the community, and we’re proud to support the infrastructure that helps it grow and thrive, and that we use every day.”

What this looks like in practice

  • Reducing uncertainty early
    Drone surveys and ground data on the CANXPORT project provided real-time insight into construction progress.
  • Delivering integrated solutions
    At the new Prince Rupert Middle School, a single McElhanney team delivered surveying, environmental services, and sewer design.
  • Supporting smarter investment
    Infrastructure studies, like the Outfall I Catchment Study, help the City prioritize upgrades and plan for future demand.

Why it matters

Prince Rupert’s growth depends on infrastructure that is:

  • Reliable and cost-effective
  • Informed by good data
  • Built to perform over time

McElhanney combines local knowledge, multidisciplinary expertise, and strong partnerships to help communities plan with confidence and deliver long-term value.
