is proud to announce that the Site C Clean Energy Project has been recognized in the EGBC Innovation Summer 2026 project highlights. As the prime design consultants, in partnership with AtkinsRéalis and our client BC Hydro, we had the privilege of contributing to one of Canada’s most transformative clean energy projects.

Site C is designed to provide approximately 1,100 MW of renewable power, generating enough electricity to supply the equivalent of 450,000 homes. This project represents a significant investment in energy security, economic growth, and a lower-carbon future. It embodies our commitment to Sustaining the Future by delivering reliable, renewable energy that will support communities and businesses for generations to come.

In 2025, the Site C project was honored with several prestigious awards, including the CCE Award of Excellence in Water Resources, the CDA Constructed Project Award of Excellence, the ACEC-BC Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Engineering Excellence, and the Award of Excellence in Energy & Industry. This project is the culmination of decades of dedication, innovation, and collaboration among the many professionals who played a role in bringing it to life. We are truly honored to have been part of a project that exemplifies what can be achieved when Passion, Integrity, Excellence, and a long-term vision come together.

In April, volunteers from our Calgary office came together to support the Calgary Reads Big Book Sale, helping prepare thousands of donated books for one of Canada’s largest literacy-focused fundraising events.

Our team spent their time receiving and sorting book donations, assessing book quality, and organizing thousands of books to help prepare for the annual sale. Their efforts helped create a welcoming and well-organized experience for the community while supporting an important cause.

The Big Book Sale raised an incredible $584,000, with proceeds helping Calgary Reads provide children with the literacy support they need to build strong reading skills and a brighter future.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for giving back to the community and demonstrating KCB’s values of Passion, Integrity, and Excellence in action.

Recently, volunteers from our Saskatoon office participated in the Meewasin Valley Authority’s 46th Annual Cleanup Campaign.

On June 4, our team spent the afternoon cleaning the banks of the South Saskatchewan River between Meewasin Park and the Weir. Together, they collected approximately seven bags of garbage, along with scrap metal, a deconstructed bicycle, and even a shopping trolley.

Giving back to the communities where we live and work is an important part of who we are, and we were proud to support this initiative to help keep Saskatoon’s river valley clean and enjoyable for everyone.

A big thank you to the Meewasin Valley Authority for organizing another successful cleanup event.

Today at Geohazards 9, KCB will be sharing several presentations focused on rockfall risk management, slope monitoring and geohazard mitigation.

Geotechnical Engineer Amelia Kulmatyski will present Informing Rockfall Risk Management Through Parametric Analysis Modelling and Validation with Alberta Geohazard Site Data as part of Rapid Fire Session 3: Regional Differences in Risk Management.

Senior Geotechnical Engineer Chris Duncan will present A Case Study of the C018 Rock Slope: Implementation of 3 Mobile Rockfall Barriers. The C018 rock slope has displayed several failure modes, including wedge failure of intact bedrock, rockfall of large and small rock particles, frozen debris falls, and earthflows of saturated weathered bedrock.

The site has been extensively studied over the past six years through a joint research program between Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC), the University of Alberta and KCB. This presentation will discuss the conceptual risk assessment completed for the site, along with the design and implementation of a mobile rockfall barrier system to reduce the risk of rockfalls reaching the highway. Construction of the barrier was completed in spring 2025, and the presentation will also highlight its performance and the ongoing efforts to manage residual risk for highway users.

As part of the Innovation in Geohazard Monitoring and Investigation session, Civil/Geotechnical Engineer Jacques Berier will present Advancing Landslide Monitoring with GNSS-Based Geocube Technology: Results from the SH016 Little Smoky Site. This presentation will share final GNSS monitoring results, compare them with historical monitoring methods including InSAR and manual survey data, and discuss implications for future landslide monitoring strategies in geotechnically sensitive transportation corridors. The findings highlight the value of long-term, high-frequency GNSS monitoring in understanding complex slope movement and supporting future mitigation efforts.

will be attending the Future of Mining Australia Conference, taking place June 16–17 in Perth.

Bringing together mining leaders, innovators and decision-makers, the conference focuses on how the industry is navigating a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by digital transformation, sustainability expectations and the global energy transition. With a strong emphasis on “mining smarter and mining better,” the program explores practical solutions to today’s most pressing challenges, from adopting cleaner technologies and advancing automation to addressing workforce gaps, safety and operational resilience.

Connect with KCB team members to learn how we support mining projects across their full lifecycle, delivering integrated geotechnical, environmental and water management solutions that help manage risk, improve performance and support our purpose of Sustaining the Future.

Today at Geohazards 9 ’s Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Jorge Rodriguez, will be presenting on Arduino-based GNSS Receivers for Monitoring Landslide Movement: A Pit Slope Case Study.

As part of an innovation initiative in partnership with the Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors, KCB developed two low-cost prototypes of GNSS receivers using Arduino Uno boards and Ublox GNSS modules to collect continuous ground deformation data.

These receivers record the geospatial coordinates of each unit every minute to within tens of centimetres of accuracy. In 2022, KCB began a long-term field test of the GNSS receiver at an active landslide on a coal mine pit slope in Alberta.

This paper will share the characteristics of the prototypes, a comparison to other commercially available GNSS systems, and the initial field test results from the deployment of the GNSS Arduino system.
