About Our Company

History

From where we started to where we are headed, our vision is to be viewed as a generous, community-minded company that is the first choice for Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental consulting services.

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. Paul was an entrepreneur and his tenacity, passion and dedication to the industry were instrumental in creating and growing his one-person operation to an employee-owned company with over 50 employees. 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 your project. And we’re not done yet, we want to continue working with you to offer new services as your 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 quality, practical engineering solutions in a safe, timely and cost-efficient manner.

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.

commitment to safety

At P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd., hazardous work is a part of
everyday life.

To manage the risks posed by this hazardous work, we have designed and implemented a dynamic Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) management system. Our goal of zero injuries and zero accidents is achieved by adopting a management led proactive approach that involves team members at all levels of the company. Working in a spirit of consultation with our team is a fundamental part of our safety program and the input and feedback they provide is invaluable. In response, we provide a solid framework and quality training for our team so they can work safely and efficiently every day.

In an effort to constantly improve our HSE system and to ensure compliance, our full-time safety officer and field supervisors regularly conduct safety inspections and investigate all incidents. Any corrective actions resulting from these inspections and investigations are implemented in a timely manner and communicated to our team. Our HSE system is also subject to annual audits to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations, legislation, and COR requirements.

At P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd. we believe that working safely is everyone’s responsibility. Through effective training, communication, and leadership, we have created a culture where everyone takes responsibility for their individual safety as well as the safety of their co-workers and the environment.

Machibroda has always been responsive and provides service in a timely manner. They understand the needs of a contractor as well as an owner. Graham looks forward to many more years of working with the Machibroda team.”
