This futuristic solar panel is pretty like a flower, and even acts like one. The petals of the Smartflower spread out when it's sunny, and fold back in when it's windy or rainy. This would look good in the yard while providing energy to the whole household! #Engineering #RenewableEnergy #ScoutenEngineering #PrinceGeorgeBC

Since 2013, Kordyban Lodge has provided an essential service for the cancer patients and their families in Northern BC. The design of this building is exceptional. It features many cool wooden details: Western red cedar, robust timber entrance canopy constructed of glue-laminated timber (glulam) columns and beams, purlins and exposed wood decking. The hybrid-timber structure is framed with engineered Douglas Fir light-wood-frame prefabricated wall panels and engineered wood ...trusses. Scouten Engineering was happy to be part of this project, and provided structural inspections on behalf of Krahn Engineering. #StructuralEngineering #EngineeredWood #ScoutenEngineering #PrinceGeorgeBC

Save room on your calendar November 28th for Go ENG Girl event! This free event is open to girls grades 7-10 and will begin at 10am. Thank you University of Northern British Columbia and UNBC Active Minds for making this event possible again this year. #GoEngGirl #ScoutenEngineering #UNBC #PrinceGeorgeBC

Throwback to last year, when we helped one of the community projects in Blackburn area. Blackburn REMAX All Wheels Adventure Park was finished around this time last year, and was used a lot this past summer by the Blackburn community. The park was made possible by many local contractors, suppliers, and volunteers. Scouten Engineering was happy to donate our design of the concrete slab alongside other local companies like L&M Engineering Limited. #Engineering #ScoutenEngineering #PrinceGeorgeBC #Community

A lot happened in 1995. Scouten Engineering was founded by Dave Scouten, and in the same year, a small website called Ebay launched. Did you know that a Canadian, Mark Fraser, purchased the first item that eBay founder Pierre Omidyar listed on the site. It was a broken laser pointer. We're proud to celebrate 25 years in business. ... #Scouten25Years #Engineering #ScoutenEngineering #Throwback #PrinceGeorgeBC

A couple of years ago, Scouten's engineering team worked on the West Fraser Centre Beautification project in Quesnel. The project included new benches, lighting, trees, and a timber trellis to create a cohesive look throughout the plaza and the downtown area. The overall plan was created by Urban Systems Ltd., and Scouten's team provided the structural engineering for the trellis. The 60,000 sq.ft. West Fraser Centre is located in the city centre, and serves the community for their ice programming needs, as well as a venue for bigger events. The citizens of Quesnel can now enjoy the services that the arena offers, as well as the outdoor space.

Due to their unforeseen closure in March, The Exploration Place is looking for extra community support this year. They're currently renovating the space and making some changes to their programming to offer us an even better experience in the future. The Exploration Place is taking part in #GivingTuesday on December 1st, and 'tis the season to give back. Visit their Giving Tuesday Canada page to find out more: https://bit.ly/3kxTSfP

We're based in Prince George and know our region inside and out, but our engineers have been lucky to work all over Canada. About five years ago, our teams travelled to the Keeyask Hydroelectric project, an electricity generating station and one of the largest construction projects ever in Manitoba. On this design build project, Scouten Engineering worked with Metric Modular (previously called Britco LP). Our engineers provided the civil design, drafting, and other engineeri...ng services during construction of the 2,500 person accommodation area. We're proud to celebrate 25 years in business. #Scouten25Years #Engineering #ScoutenEngineering #Throwback #PrinceGeorgeBC

The holiday season is fast approaching. Here's a rolling pin that would encourage even our engineers to bake! Photo Credit: Etsy... #MayTheForceBeWithYou #StarWars #ScoutenEngineering #PrinceGeorgeBC

A game of Jenga with the family is always great fun and creates a bit of excitement. This heavy equipment game requires a whole other type of precision and skill level. And these operators have it! Watch this fascinating game, below. #CatTrials #Jenga #ScoutenEngineering #PrinceGeorgeBC

In the theme of looking back at Scouten's 25 year history, we think it's always fascinating to learn about #engineering history across the globe. After all, civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines in the world. Have a look at the amazing engineering in India and Pakistan, where stepwells, some up to 13 stories deep, were built for water storage and to help locals cope with seasonal fluctuations in the water supply. Although not in use any more, many of these structures still exist for us to be amazed. #Scouten25Years #Stepwell #CivilEngineering #ScoutenEngineering

One of our favourite projects for the complexity of calculations and design turning into a rather beautiful shape at Brilliant Dam expansion project in Castlegar BC. This angle portrays it as almost like the Nautilus shell spiral. As we celebrate 25 years of Scouten Engineering, we are looking back at some of our favourite projects. But we are also looking forward with renewed passion and pursuit of excellence. If you have a project requiring innovative solutions to challeng...ing situation, talk to us today. https://bit.ly/2TIUWCB #ScoutenEngineering #Engineering #BrilliantDam #CastlegarBC #Scouten25Years

Today, we remember the sacrifice of all the Canadian veterans. Our office is closed today in honour of Remembrance Day. #LestWeForget
