CEP’s journey
Vancouver to Moncton, and everywhere in between
Established in 1972 by a trio of visionary engineers, Consultants Electro-Protection was a trailblazer in the budding field of Forensic Engineering.
Our growth trajectory saw us rapidly expand, establishing five offices and growing our team to 75 dedicated members. With the evolving demands of the insurance sector, CEP’s services diversified into Civil, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science, Metallurgy, and Materials Engineering.
2017 was a pivotal year for us. CEP merged with Sintra Engineering, augmenting our capabilities and expanding our footprint across Canada with ten offices and a combined force of more than 115 professionals.
Further strengthening our position, the acquisition of Baker Materials Engineering in 2019 brought additional expertise and resources in the Vancouver region. In 2022, we merged with LRI Engineering, combining our expertise to provide complementary engineering services.
