For us, #Teamwork isn't just about developing professional relationships within the WATT team. It also means that we value supportive and collegial relationships with the consultants and service providers who help us do good work for our clients. Transoft - Civil and Transportation recently published a case study reflecting on the successes of using TORUS to develop solutions for a problematic intersection in #FoothillsCounty: "The project focused on Pine Creek Road, one of f...ive roads intersecting Dunbow Road in Foothills County. This rural municipality just south of Calgary is one of the province’s fastest growing districts. Increased traffic along Dunbow Road was resulting in long queues and impacting emergency vehicle access. Ongoing development in the area meant both short and long-term traffic management solutions were needed." How did we do it?

Proud of our team for their quick response to this crisis.

"We hold ourselves to the highest professional and ethical standards. We are accountable for our performance to each other, our clients, and the public. We hold paramount our responsibility in health and safety as well as the protection of the environment." This week, we are taking a moment to recognize the efforts of our Health and Safety committee and WATT's field crew personnel. They have gone above and beyond these past few weeks to quickly respond to recommendations by h...ealth officials so that WATT can continue to serve our clients and keep everyone safe at the same time. Some measures we are taking to ensure the health and safety of ourselves, our clients, and the public: - We are working alone whenever possible - We have set up mobile handwashing stations - We clean shared tools after each use - We are conducting regular Health + Safety meetings to keep ourselves informed and accountable.

We're so proud of our team for seamlessly switching over to a work-from-home model last week. Biggest change so far? The commute of course! Art by: https://www.instagram.com/keratill/

On Monday morning WATT leadership met to address the needs of our clients and our team, their families, and our communities at large in the current wake of COVID-19. WATT is choosing to commit to the health and safety of our community by practicing social distancing and implementing a work-from-home model. We are also committed to following the formal recommendations outlined by Federal, Provincial and local Governments to do our part in limiting the spread of COVID-19. From ...wherever we are, we will continue to collaborate on client projects in a professional, efficient manner. We will make the most of modern technology to maintain and grow relationships with our clients, and with each other. As we move into our new work-from-home model, we need to remember: cloud-based computing and collaborative platforms are only tools. Our ability to do good work for our clients across regions, political borders, disciplines and circumstances is something that comes from each one of us. It’s that simple.
