Engineering for Complex, High-Stakes Industrial applications

Our engineering team offers decades of expertise across industrial, energy, and agriculture sectors. From pioneering greenfield projects to seamless retrofits on active sites, FWS engineers create robust designs that meet demanding requirements. Supported by proven project management, each design integrates with FWS’s construction and procurement teams for rapid, effective solutions.

Comprehensive Design & Engineering

From designing high-integrity grain storage and liquid and gas handling systems to constructing robust steel and concrete frameworks, we ensure every component is tailored for seamless, high-capacity operations. With expertise in essential utilities and balance of plant systems—HVAC, water treatment, piping, electrical and controls—we guarantee that all ancillary systems effectively support primary operations, achieving peak efficiency across even the most complex facilities.

Our Specialty: Mission-Critical Facilities

From pioneering greenfield sites to vital brownfield retrofits, we excel in projects where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Our teams thrive at tackling complex projects in active facilities—keeping systems online while driving exceptional outcomes.

Our Integrated Approach

At FWS, engineering is part of a seamlessly integrated approach that connects design, construction, and project management under one roof. This cross-department synergy translates to accelerated timelines, reduced costs, and adaptable solutions, especially on complex retrofits where real-time updates are crucial. When changes are needed in the field, our team can rapidly adjust designs to meet new requirements, ensuring uninterrupted progress.

Proudly CanBIM Certified

FWS is one of select companies in Canada to hold the esteemed CanBIM certification by Building Transformations. This achievement showcases our commitment to Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) standards, ensuring every project benefits from advanced digital collaboration, precision, and efficiency from start to finish.
