EXP Selected to Deliver Engineering Services for Shepard Logistics Centre

The Prairie Economic Gateway is part of a larger initiative to strengthen infrastructure across Calgary. SDC recently reached the milestone of conceptual scheme and land use approval and awarded EXP the contract through a qualifications-based selection.

The Shepard Logistics Centre development is a jointly planned collaboration between SDC, the City of Calgary and Rocky View County (RVC), and will result in a nearly 1,300-acre rail-serviced industrial hub. The project, EXP says, will support the manufacture, storage and distribution of commercial products. With more than 20 million square feet available for future industrial development, this inland port is strategically located near the TransCanada Highway, CANAMEX Trade Corridor and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) main line “to maximize efficiency of transportation between the U.S., Mexico, Canada and global markets.”

EXP will provide civil engineering design both onsite and offsite, landscape architecture services, oil and gas main/well decommissioning and infrastructure asset coordination. The company will also support SDC in their communication with stakeholders and surrounding jurisdictions, to advance Phase 1’s 480 acres. Through detailed engineering design and professional services, EXP will assist SDC with scheduling and cost predictability.

Servicing is expected to proceed through 2029.
