Practical Engineering for Industrial, Food & Beverage
We work with industrial contractors, facility owners, operators, and equipment suppliers on projects involving mechanical systems, process piping, equipment installations, structural modifications, and electrical, instrumentation, and controls integration.
Airy Point Engineering provides multidisciplinary engineering services supporting the design, modification, and improvement of industrial facilities and infrastructure.
Our experience includes brownfield facility upgrades, equipment replacements, piping system modifications, and engineering support for construction and installation activities.
We understand that industrial projects frequently involve working around existing infrastructure, maintaining facility operations, and resolving technical challenges that are not always apparent in the original project scope.
Our approach emphasizes practical engineering solutions, clear communication, and coordinated design deliverables that support efficient fabrication, construction, and project execution.

The University of British Columbia Energy and Water Services (UBCEWS) operates the Bioenergy Research and Demonstration Facility (BRDF) on UBC’s Vancouver campus. Airy Point Engineering was engaged to complete a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study to evaluate and mitigate dust generation in the fuel storage and truck unloader area.
Scope of Work:
- Site Assessment: Reviewed existing conditions, operational challenges, and safety considerations within the fuel storage and unloading areas.
- Dust Mitigation Evaluation: Investigated suitable dust collection technologies and identified feasible equipment locations, including maintenance access requirements.
- Engineering Design Development: Prepared multidisciplinary FEED inputs, including mechanical, electrical, and civil considerations with preliminary construction layout sketches.
- Cost and Phasing Analysis: Developed a Class D cost estimate, preliminary bill of materials, and project execution phasing plan.
Airy Point Engineering provided UBCEWS with a clear technical path forward to improve operational safety and support future detailed design, budgeting and construction planning.

Gygax Engineering Associates Ltd. (GEA) operates in Vancouver, British Columbia, providing structural engineering services. Airy Point Engineering was engaged to develop a hydraulic system performance specification for BC Ferries (BCF) port upgrades on the Crofton to Vesuvius route.
Scope of Work:
- Hydraulic System Performance Specification: Prepared a comprehensive specification to ensure upgrades met industry and BCF standards.
- Site Layout Drawings: Development of site layout drawings for Crofton and Vesuvius Berths, ensuring compliance with provided standards and examples.
- HPU-PLC Enclosure Review: Review and update the system HPU enclosure and provided a simple hydraulic piping plan.
Unfortunately following the detailed review and provision of a hydraulic performance specification, this project was paused by BC Ferries. Airy Point Engineering hopes to continue detailed engineering support to GEA, if and when BC Ferries reactivates this initiative.
