Construction Inspection
Supporting successful construction with skilled and methodical inspection services.
SHM Canada provides resident construction inspection services for marine and heavy civil infrastructure projects. With a team of qualified and experienced inspectors across Nova Scotia, we are able to respond quickly when our clients need our personnel at projects across the province and beyond. These inspectors help to ensure that construction work is carried out in accordance with drawings and specifications, that material quantities are recorded accurately, and that best practices for health and safety are followed on site.
Our construction inspection services are managed by a team of SHM Canada engineers based at our office in Halifax. By deploying well-established procedures for reviewing and submitting daily reports, we support our clients in monitoring project status and in maintaining clear and comprehensive project records.
We have provided construction inspection services to PSPC for a wide range of marine projects in Nova Scotia.
