Annual Report 2017

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE REVIEWS In our second 2017 pilot project, we tested a new approach to proactively reviewing the practices of APEGA permit holders. With the cooperation of six permit holders of varying sizes and across many industries, APEGA conducted collegial and collaborative reviews. These focused on improving the practices of engineering and geoscience in Alberta. The pilot program was a successful stress test of the new process and tools. The result is a comprehensive, fair, and transparent review process, benefitting permit holders and Albertans. Based on the pilot project, we initiated a further 26 practice reviews in 2017 for completion in 2018. Critical to the pilot’s success was the cooperation of the six permit holders, along with the participation and cooperation of their Responsible Members, other licenced professionals, members-in-training, and other staff members.

The participating permit holders are: • CH2M HILL Energy Canada Ltd. • Insituform Technologies Ltd. • Nexen Energy ULC

• Rally Engineering Inc. • Supreme Steel LP • Tetra Tech Canada Inc.
