A Calgary engineering company since 2010
CHR is a Canadian project management and specialist engineering firm in Calgary, Alberta. We give energy industry clients technical advice they can build on, from the first study to a running facility.
How we work
-
Planned around known equipment
Each project is built on equipment we have bought and run before, and on vendors we have worked with for years, so the specifications can be built.
-
Teams sized to the job
We bring in subject matter experts from our network as the work needs them: more than 80 people on one recent multi-project program in Canada.
-
One process to start-up
The same project management process runs from the first study through procurement and construction to a running facility.
Where we have worked
Engineered and managed from Calgary, delivered from Western Canada to the North Slope, Europe, Kazakhstan and Australia.
