“Joining forces with Omega significantly enhances two of Ecora’s core lines of business and will provide enhanced support for Ecora’s existing clients and partners in the area,” stated Kelly Sherman, president of Ecora in a company release.

Originally founded in 1978, Omega has provided engineering services, including detailed structural and civil engineering design, project management, surveying and construction inspections on projects throughout the Lower Mainland of B.C.

The firm’s team of 30 will boost Ecora’s total headcount to 180.
