BGC Engineering is an international consulting firm that provides professional services in applied earth sciences. The practice was established in 1990 based on a specialized appreciation of the impacts of geology on engineered structures. BGC provides specialized engineering and geoscience services for all phases of clients’ projects, from pre-feasibility and design, to construction, operation, and closure.
Over 800 professional engineers, geoscientists, technicians, and support staff operate from more than 16 offices across North and South America, Australia, and the Caribbean. BGC’s projects range from pre-feasibility-level studies and routing evaluations to detailed design, construction inspection, and independent third-party review. The company also provides services supporting and coordinating environmental impact studies, permitting, and financial agency review. BGC operates a soil and rock testing laboratory, offering advanced geotechnical testing services to clients.
Founded by Dr. Iain Bruce and Dr. Wayne Savigny, BGC is a private, employee-owned company with Canadian roots. The company works as one integrated team across offices, coordinating staff and integrating technical disciplines to assemble the best team for each project regardless of location, with commitment to one-to-one communication between staff and clients.
