**About P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd.**

In 1977, Paul Machibroda, who was recognized as a Geotechnical Pioneer by the Canadian Geotechnical Society, started offering geotechnical engineering services from his garage because he saw the need for a cost-effective, locally owned geotechnical engineering company.

Our multidisciplinary and talented team includes engineers, geoscientists, technologists and technicians, drillers and support staff. We are eager and ready to use our wealth of knowledge and experience to provide quality service to our clients. And we’re not done yet, we want to continue working with our clients to offer new services as their needs arise.

Paul always believed the cornerstone of great service was to provide honest, ethical and timely service with a personal touch. For over 45 years our mission at P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd. has been to provide practical and timely engineering solutions and quality technical services in an environment that supports the health and safety of our team.

We are proud of our history and our valued clients return to and recommend us time and again because of the value we add to their projects. Today this amazing team continues to build on the lessons learned from Paul to drive your project’s success.
