Peng Wang

I'm a geotechnical engineer with over ten years of experience on numerous projects in Northern BC and Alberta. I previously worked as a geotechnical consultant for Golder Associates for approximately eight years, followed by Field Engineer positions for RST Instrument and BC Hydro at Site C. I'm experienced with project management, project coordination, site investigations, foundation designs, slope stability analysis, construction monitoring (both QA and QC), data analysis, and reporting.
