Services

MEK provides consultancy services in the water resources and environmental sectors to clients domestically and abroad. In western Canada, our services are mainly in the areas of water resources development and management as well as in environmental protection. Internationally, the company provides services in sub-Sahara Africa, the Caribbean states, and the Asia Pacific region, where the demand for potable water and environmental protection has been rising steadily. A major component of our service delivery is transferring current technology and skillsets to our beneficiaries through capacity enhancement programs. Additionally, the firm offers retailing services in the supply of water and environmental equipment to customers abroad.

Specifically, our areas of service delivery include geospatial studies, hydrogeological studies, water resources modelling, geotechnical investigations, groundwater geophysics, environmental site assessments and impact studies, and the development of water resources and environmental monitoring systems and software.

We are interested in strategic alliance opportunities with other consulting firms and institutions (universities, research institutions, etc.), non-governmental organizations, and individuals with mutual business and professional interests.

Health and Safety

The health and safety of our employees and the public is a paramount consideration in all that we do. As such, applicable codes, guidelines and standards, and essential legislative requirements are incorporated into our project design and implementation. This includes ensuring that all staff acquire the relevant knowledge and skillsets in health, safety, and environmental practices and are able to identify potential hazards in a timely fashion and eliminate them from the workplace. In line with this, MEK ensures that all staff members participate in all mandated regulatory health and safety courses and training programs. Additionally, MEK provides regular refresher courses and disseminate all new occupational health and safety information to our staff.

Further, our staff are provided with the personal protective equipment required for each job, and MEK ensures that this equipment is always worn properly at each site and used for the intended purpose.

Regular sessions are held with our staff to discuss “near miss” incidents and to formulate steps to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. This entails accessing the impacts of our activities, refining our procedures, and providing additional training when required.
