100% ENGINEERED DELIVERABLES
Single Point of Accountability
No finger-pointing between separate design firms and field crews. We own project delivery from start to finish.
Practical Constructability
Our field teams review plans alongside registered engineers from day one, preventing over-designed, unbuildable fixes.
Accelerated Timelines
Concurrent engineering sign-offs and site preparation cut weeks off traditional project schedules.
Our Design Build Process
Geotechnical Evaluation: Site Assessment & Scope.
We evaluate site ground conditions, slope stability, and site constraints to establish accurate project scope and constructability metrics.Stamped Engineering Designs: Partnered PE/P.Eng Sign-Off.
We collaborate with leading licensed professional engineering firms to produce stamped, fully compliant structural and geotechnical designs tailored to your site.Precision Execution: Specialized Field Operations.
Our specialized drill fleet, rope-access technicians, and field crews execute the engineered design safely, on budget, and on schedule.
Specialized Geotechnical & Structural Services
Our custom slope retention systems address active landslide movement, embankment failures, and unstable rock slopes. By pairing high-capacity ground anchors and soil nails with structural shotcrete facings or high-tensile wire mesh, we provide durable, long-term stability for critical transport corridors, commercial developments, and industrial sites.
Case Studies
Stabilizing the Abbot Hut
When Canada’s highest permanent structure was at risk of collapsing, we provided slope stabilization to secure this historic, heli-access-only public recreation site.
High-Angle Utility Support – Carpenter Lake Power Infrastructure
Project Overview Location: Carpenter Lake, British Columbia Sector: Utility / Power Distribution Timeline: 2024 (Completed) Scope: Remote Foundation Preparation, Rigging, and Specialized Rescue Standby Maintaining power infrastructure in the rugged terrain surrounding Carpenter Lake requires more than standard utility equipment. BC Hydro partnered with Global Rock Works (GRW) to
Frequently Asked Questions
How early in the project planning stage should we engage your design-build team?
As early as possible once a slope, shoring, or foundation hazard is identified. Early involvement allows our engineering and field teams to evaluate access, staging, and site constraints before design parameters are locked in, saving time and preventing over-engineered or unbuildable fixes.
Who assumes legal liability and holds the stamped engineering deliverables?
All geotechnical and structural engineering deliverables are designed and stamped by licensed Professional Engineers (PE/P.Eng). Under our single-contract delivery, we take complete responsibility for both design compliance and field execution, eliminating finger-pointing between separate firms.
How do you handle unforeseen or differing ground conditions discovered during drilling?
Because our design and field teams work under one roof, we adapt quickly to variable rock or soil conditions. When subsurface anomalies occur, our field engineers document the changes immediately, issue modified engineering sign-offs, and adjust field operations without causing major project downtime.
Can your team mobilize rapidly for emergency slope or rockfall failures?
Yes. We provide emergency response to stabilize active slope movements, scale loose rock, and secure critical infrastructure immediately after severe weather, seismic events, or landslides, transitioning quickly from initial stabilization to permanent engineered solutions.
