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).
CORE VALUES
Client focus · Quality · Integrity · Safety · Practical innovation.

Leadership is central to our ethos, driving excellence, innovation, and ethical conduct across all facets of our operations.

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.
