What does our engineering team do?

Our engineering team has delivered thousands of small dams across the country over the last 85 years. So much so that we now own over 6,000 water retaining structures responsible for the creation of over 1.2 million acres of wetland. This makes DUC the largest single dam owner in Canada in terms of sheer numbers.

The real strength of our talented group of highly qualified engineering professionals comes from their ability to function as a well-coordinated team that brings a combined wealth of diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives.
