We are proud to announce that Vallee will be the Engineer of Record on the installation of traffic control devices at St John’s Road intersections of Cockshutt Road and Blueline Road, as awarded by Norfolk County. Increased safety at these busy intersections is the primary objective of this project and Norfolk County Council will evaluate the options of traffic signals versus roundabouts, with construction anticipated to commence in early 2025.

After a competitive request-for-proposal process, we are pleased to share that City of St. Catharines has awarded Vallee the contract for the Replacement Design and Contract Administration Services of Fire Station No. 3, located at 285 Pelham Road. This will be our second such project with the City, as our architectural and engineering work continues on Fire Station No. 2, which is progressing toward completion in late 2024. We’re honoured by the opportunity to continue building on our growing partnership with the City and thank all those involved in the selection process.

We are proud to announce that the Elgin County has selected Vallee to provide our structural engineering services on the replacement of the King Bridge in the Township of Malahide. This is Vallee’s second bridge project for the County in as many years and with construction set to begin later this year, we look forward to another successful collaboration.

It’s been a long time coming but construction on the Waterford Skate Park is set to break ground in the spring of 2024. Vallee is proud to be part of this exciting project that will provide a space for kids and adults alike to stay active, build their skills, and create an amazing community of support. As an avid BMX rider and Civil Engineering Technologist, Vallee’s Matt Alderson has developed the grading plan and site layout, as well as assisted with the design as an in-kind contribution. Read more about the project, including comments from Matt, here.

What’s better than one P.Eng. designation announcement? TWO!

Please join us in congratulating Natalie Biesinger, P.Eng. and Braden Ongena, P.Eng. on their newly minted professional designations from Professional Engineers Ontario – four-plus years of education and hard work has culminated in this milestone. We’re proud to have you both on the Vallee team and look forward to seeing your continued growth and achievements.

As part of our mission to build better communities, we were honoured to present our annual donation to the The Salvation Army Simcoe Community Church’s Christmas Hamper program this morning. This invaluable program partners with community-based organizations, service groups, and churches to ensure individuals and families throughout Norfolk County are supplied with the food needed to prepare a festive Christmas meal. Thank you to the volunteers, staff, and everyone involved with the Christmas Hamper program who help to build a better community!

We are proud to announce that Vallee has been selected by the City of Brantford to provide our consulting services on the demolition and reconstruction of the maintenance shop at Walter Gretzky Golf Course. Our work will include conceptual design, site plan approval, design development, and construction contract administration, and we’re honoured to be entrusted with this project to make a great local golf course even better.

Norfolk County council approved a bylaw change and amendments to the Official Plan, making way for a mixed-use development on Queensway West. Read more from the Simcoe Reformer here.

It’s official!

We are proud to announce that Andrew Vallee has received his designation from Professional Engineers Ontario and is now a fully licensed Professional Engineer. As many others who have gone through the process themselves can attest, this is no small feat and requires an incredible amount of dedication and drive, which are two qualities Andrew unequivocally possesses and demonstrates on a daily basis in his work.

Congratulations, Andrew!

Vallee would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Scott Puillandre on his recent designation as a Registered Professional Planner from Ontario Professional Planners Institute. It was a long but worthwhile process and we’re both proud and grateful for the hard work he put in to reach this achievement.

Congratulations, Scott!
