WHAT IS CEP?

CEP represents over 40 years of history in forensic engineering. It’s tens of thousands of projects in every discipline from fire to civil engineering to collision reconstruction. But above all, it’s a large and diverse team motivated by a common goal: finding the right answer, every time.

But our job isn’t over when we find the cause of a loss. As experts in Forensic Engineering, our role is also to help our clients navigate the variety of issues that can arise from their potentially litigious circumstances.

COMPANY HISTORY

In 1972, three engineers got together to found Consultants Electro-Protection. At the time the field of Forensic Engineering was still in its infancy.

The company grew rapidly in the following years, opening five offices and increasing its workforce to 75 employees. CEP expanded its range of services to meet the growing demands of insurance providers. After Electrical Engineering and Fire and Explosion came Civil, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering.

2017 marked a turning point, when CEP united with the talent and expertise of Sintra Engineering. The nine offices and 115 employees resulting from this merger allow us to serve all Canadians from east to west.

With the acquisition of Baker Materials Engineering in 2019, the CEP team is enhanced by talent and technical resources in the Vancouver region, thus consolidating its position in the insurance industry.
