Pragmatic and reliable engineering and environmental solutions tailored to withstand local environments.
One-Stop Shop
Our Earth Sciences Team works closely with other practice teams, reliably delivering the services our clients need, where and when they need them.
Constructible Solutions for Challenging Environments
With more than 45 years of experience in Canada and select international locations, we skillfully develop constructible solutions that can withstand extreme climates and difficult environments.
Geology Matters
At Clifton, we know that every region has its own unique geologic history resulting in site-specific stratigraphy, hydrogeology, and soil properties that evolve over time. This is why we take the time to thoroughly understand an area in order to develop truly functional and sustainable engineering solutions.

Earth Sciences Technical Experts
I see all geotechnical projects as unique. The natural processes that create soil and groundwater conditions can be highly variable from site to site, and so each site must be considered individually. By avoiding the boilerplate approach to geotechnical investigations and reporting, we provide our clients with recommendations and designs that best suit their project needs.
