Dave finds opportunity in every challenge. As a principal in Edmonton¡¯s water group, he sees opportunities¡ªeven in the most difficult projects¡ªto create solutions that have a lasting effect on the communities where we live.
One of the most rewarding projects he has led was the Lendrum Place dry pond in Edmonton. He took a devastating situation in which 15% of the homes were damaged by flooding and turned it into a positive one. Working with various stakeholders, he came up with a design that protects, and also improved, the community.
Dave is well known in the water community for his more than 40 years of experience and his Ãë²¥ in tunneling and trenchless technology. He is a past director for the Canada Pacific region of the North American Society of Trenchless Technology and the recipient of the 2015 NASTT Chair Award for Lifetime Service. When Dave isn¡¯t driving his 1990 Miata or playing hockey, he¡¯s working with his team to apply intelligent infrastructure designs for clients.
