DMC provides geotechnical and hydrotechnical solutions that support the backbone of British Columbia’s infrastructure and resource
economy.
Our work spans a diverse range of sectors, each with its own technical demands, regulatory frameworks, and environmental sensitivities.
Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering focused on understanding the behavior of soil, rock, and groundwater beneath the Earth’s surface.
A geotechnical desktop study is a preliminary review of existing information to understand subsurface conditions before any fieldwork begins
Geotechnical drilling in British Columbia demands versatility. From glacial till and fractured bedrock to soft marine clays and variable fill, the province’s terrain is as diverse as its climate zones. Our drilling programs are tailored to meet these challenges, whether we’re working in remote alpine regions or dense urban corridors.
Foundation design is the process of determining how a structure will safely transfer its loads to the ground
Slope stability assessments are a core part of geotechnical engineering, especially in regions like British Columbia where terrain varies from steep coastal bluffs to glacial valleys and urban embankments.
Settlement analysis is the process of estimating how much and how quickly the ground beneath a structure will compress under load.
Seismic design is a critical component of geotechnical engineering, especially in seismically active regions like British Columbia.
Retaining walls are engineered structures that resist lateral earth pressures and maintain differences in ground elevation
Embankment design involves constructing raised earth structures—typically for roads, railways, flood protection, or site grading that safely support loads and resist deformation over time.
Rock mechanics is the study of how rock masses behave under stress—essential for designing safe excavations in tunnels, slopes, foundations, and underground structures.
Geohazards are natural or human-influenced geological processes that pose risks to infrastructure, ecosystems, and public safety.

At DMC Engineering Inc., our environmental services are built on a deep respect for land, water, and community — especially in the context of climate change and Indigenous collaboration. We provide practical, science-based solutions that help clients navigate regulatory requirements, protect sensitive ecosystems, and plan for long-term resilience.
At DMC Engineering Inc., safety isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a core value embedded in every phase of our geotechnical operations. Whether we’re conducting subsurface investigations, managing remote site logistics, or overseeing construction activities, we recognize the inherent risks involved in drilling, excavation, and working in unpredictable environments.
At DMC Engineering Inc., we’re looking for engineers, scientists, and technologists who thrive in complexity and care about impact.
