As LRL Engineering celebrates four decades of success in the field of engineering, their journey stands as a testament to the essence of longevity in business.
Founded in Vankleek Hill and Clarence-Rockland, the company’s humble beginnings laid the foundation for a remarkable evolution into a multidisciplinary powerhouse with offices now spanning across Ottawa, Moncton, and Pembroke.
In its early years, LRL Engineering carved its niche in Civil Engineering focussing on land development, driven by a passion and pursuit of mastering local design guidelines and delivering top-notch solutions to the community.
This dedication quickly earned them a reputation for reliability and excellence, setting the stage for their future successes.
Diversification while upholding core values
However, the secret to their longevity lies not only in their ability to adapt but also in their commitment to diversification.
Recognizing the evolving landscape of engineering, LRL expanded its services to encompass a spectrum of disciplines including Environmental, Geotechnical, Materials Testing, Mechanical, Electrical, and Structural Engineering.
This strategic move not only broadened their service portfolio but also allowed them to offer comprehensive solutions under one roof, ensuring efficiency and seamlessness in project execution.
While diversifying its services was crucial for growth, LRL Engineering has always remained steadfast in its commitment to their core values.
These values have served as guiding principles throughout the company’s journey, shaping its approach to business and relationships: We see things through and always deliver on our promises. You can depend on us to be with you from start to finish.
Being good isn’t good enough – we go above and beyond in everything we do. A commitment made is a commitment kept. We never wait around for things to happen – each team member takes initiative to deliver a quality product and service.
We care deeply about our team, clients, and partners as human beings. A reliable and trusted friend, LRL has your back.
Nurturing existing relationships
The company’s journey wasn’t confined to geographical boundaries. With an ever-growing reputation and a passion for nurturing client relationships, LRL Engineering expanded its footprint across Canada.
The establishment of an office in Moncton, New Brunswick was an easy decision as President, Christian Robichaud called this area home for many years, and the Ottawa office was already supporting many New Brunswick-based projects.
The recent addition of a Pembroke, Ontario office in 2023 was driven by the desire to contribute to a local community that Virginia Johnson, Civil Engineer Manager and Associate, and others from their team, grew up in.
“I grew up here. I’m watching new development take place, eyeing up some great re-development opportunities and am passionate about the success of our surrounding communities,” said Virginia Johnson, civil engineer manager and associate with LRL Engineering.
“We felt that by officially opening our doors in the Valley, we would be able to offer the best engineering service providing guidance from design concept to on-the-ground completion of various types of projects,” she added. “We are excited to be able to be a small part in the bright future the Ottawa valley has.”
These additions were not merely about geographical expansion but a testament to their commitment to serving communities that team members are closely connected to and fostering growth.
Embracing the future, together
As LRL Engineering commemorates four decades of achievements, they reflect on the myriad of projects that have shaped their journey. From intricate structural designs to environmental stewardship, each project has been a testament to their commitment to quality and solution-based engineering.
Yet, amidst the celebration of past successes, LRL remains steadfast in their commitment to the future.
With a multidisciplinary approach, a forward-thinking mindset, and a team of dedicated professionals, they stand poised at the forefront of engineering excellence, ready to continue to provide top quality customer service with innovative solutions.
As they raise a toast to 40 years of engineering excellence, LRL extends their gratitude to clients, partners, and communities for their trust and collaboration.
To their remarkable team, they acknowledge the indispensable role each member has played in their success.
As the journey continues, LRL Engineering looks forward to shaping the future together, transforming ideas into reality, and leaving a positive mark on the world of engineering for years to come.
