Our highly skilled team of engineers, scientists, and technical specialists deliver technical expertise and results across a broad range of water resource disciplines.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain committed to the independent culture that has shaped our consulting practice over the past 50 years. Today, NHC offers more than 250 dedicated employees based out of 14 offices in Canada, the US, Asia, and South America. Our physical hydraulic modelling operations are the largest in western North America and remain instrumental in our ability to test and refine location-specific approaches to every solution we design.
