DMC Engineering Inc.​

Oil and Gas

What & How

DMC provides specialized geotechnical and geohazard consulting services to support upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas developments across Western Canada. Our team works with operators, EPCM firms, and regulators to address the unique ground, terrain, and seismic challenges associated with pipelines, facilities, access roads, compressor stations, and LNG infrastructure in remote and environmentally sensitive environments.
We support projects from early routing and site selection through detailed design, construction, and operations. Our engineers bring deep experience in weak and variable soils, permafrost and frost-susceptible ground, steep terrain, and seismically active regions, delivering practical solutions that manage geotechnical risk, ensure constructability, and protect long-term asset integrity.
From slope stability and landslide mitigation along pipeline corridors to foundation and earthworks design for major facilities, DMC combines strong field capability, advanced analytical tools, and regulatory insight to support safe, resilient energy infrastructure throughout its full lifecycle.

Our Services Include:

  • Geotechnical site investigations for facilities, pipelines, and access roads
  • Pipeline route selection support and geohazard screening
  • Terrain stability and landslide hazard assessments
  • Slope stability analyses and stabilization design
  • Foundation design for compressor stations, pump stations, LNG facilities, and process plants
  • Shallow and deep foundation design in soft and permafrost-affected soils
  • Seismic site response and liquefaction assessment
  • Ground improvement and soil stabilization
  • Frost heave analysis
  • Trench stability and pipe–soil interaction assessment
  • Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and trenchless crossing geotechnical support
  • Ground anchor and soil nail wall design (using CIRIA C637 or FHWA Circular No. 4 and 7)
  • Erosion, scour, and slope protection design
  • Construction geotechnical services and EOR support
  • Instrumentation and performance monitoring
  • Integrity management and forensic investigation of ground-related failures
