  • MPE Engineering Ltd. Has Developed Strong and Lasting Relationships with a Wide Range of First Nation Clients Throughout Alberta
    MPE Engineering Ltd. has developed strong and lasting relationships with a wide range of First Nation clients throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba over the past 35+ years. These relationships are based on mutual respect, understanding and positive collaboration, along with our proven track record for delivering unique solutions to the diverse projects undertaken by First Nation communities. By working with the local administrative groups, MPE seeks to fully understand the unique needs of each community we work in. Our staff has extensive experience working with INAC and other federal and provincial governments and agencies. We are diligent to keep abreast of the various grants and funding programs that become available. Our goal is to ensure each First Nation community we work with is aware of these programs, and we will work on behalf of our clients to apply for the available and appropriate funds so the Nation is better able to address the various needs within their community. Being a full-service engineering company allows MPE to accommodate virtually all of our clients’ engineering needs in- house. Our services include municipal works, civil projects, structural, electrical, mechanical, water and wastewater treatment, controls and instrumentation, surveys and testing services. MPE also provides Master Servicing Agreements, Community Development Plans, Floodplain Mapping, Drainage Studies and other various reports on which the community is able to make informed decisions on growth.
