In a bold fusion of modern engineering and environmental stewardship, GeoMetrix Engineering is transforming infrastructure along Hwy 33 north of Swan Hills, Alberta, with their groundbreaking work on the Jerry Creek project. Tasked with restoring fish passage and enhancing hydraulic capacity in a delicate ecosystem, the firm has developed a well-conceived threemetre diameter culvert solution that addresses critical ecological and operational challenges. This pioneering project, executed under tight environmental constraints, showcases GeoMetrix’s commitment to innovation, precision, and sustainability—setting a new benchmark in transportation infrastructure design. Wayne Stewart, principal at GeoMetrix, explains that the firm’s deep-rooted expertise in structural engineering and local knowledge of the area made them a great candidate to deliver that project. In general, he says, having both the expertise and the desire to listen and learn from others is what sets them apart and what enables GeoMetrix to work across multiple sectors. “At GeoMetrix, our goal is to blend innovative design with practical, cost-effective solutions,” Wayne says. “Whether it’s a complex building project or an infrastructure challenge on a government contract, we apply the same level of rigor and creativity.” This philosophy is evident in their work with major industry players like PCL, a relationship that has grown through successful collaborations on projects that demand precision, reliability, and an eye toward the future. The Jerry Creek project—which is valued at approximately $6.4 million—is a prime example of how GeoMetrix leverages their structural engineering expertise to create sustainable, APRIL 2025
