SUPPORTING TECHNICAL TRAINING
WATER & ENVIRONMENT

Stormwater and onsite wastewater

StormwaterONE advanced SWPPP preparation and stormwater compliance inspection training. BCOSSA coursework in wastewater, installation, planning and drawing, and soils.

BCOSSA coursework is training, not ROWP registration.

CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY

Estimating and digital workflows

VRCA construction estimating, Bluebeam course completions and Viewpoint/Spectrum training support quantity takeoffs, document review, project records and coordination.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Defined responsibility.
Appropriate expertise.

ALDER’s practice framework addresses scope acceptance, competence, documented checking, technical records and field-review planning. Qualified specialists are engaged where the assignment requires additional expertise.

Legal boundary surveying is referred to a BC Land Surveyor. Stand-alone structural and geotechnical engineering are outside ALDER’s initial service scope.
