WE ARE HAL

Field-tested since 2018

HAL Group is a Vaughan-based structural engineering firm. We have surveyed and investigated structures for MTO, Metrolinx, the TTC, GTAA and the City of Toronto, working directly for owners and as a sub-consultant to firms including WSP, AECOM and Stantec.​

 

We do the fieldwork ourselves, overnight under live rail or on a lift beneath a century-old bridge, and turn it into clear recommendations: what needs attention now, what can wait, and what it will take to fix.

 

EXPERTISE AND ACCREDITATION

​

HAL has been approved under the Bridge Engineering - Condition Surveys and Biennial Inspections Specialty Categories in the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Registry Appraisal and Qualification System (RAQS).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Building for longer service life

We plan fieldwork to keep lane closures, coring and repeat site visits to a minimum. Where the engineering supports it, our recommendations favour repairing and extending the life of existing structures over replacing them.
