JR Paine is a leader in geotechnical engineering, design, and materials testing for the Transportation industry in Western Canada. We have been involved on hundreds of highway construction projects for Alberta Transportation ranging from new roads and twinning projects to road rehabilitation.
We have worked extensively on the Canamex Highway corridor linking the Alaska Highway to our southern border. We also have extensive experience on the Alaska Highway through norther BC and the Yukon.
J.R. Paine has worked extensively with pavement recycling methods and is an industry leader in full depth reclamation and foamed asphalt applications. Our firm has also been involved with numerous airport runway rehabilitation projects throughout western Canada. We have also expanded our services into the railroad sector on projects related to spur line construction in industrial parks and trans loading facilities serving oil and gas, grain handling, and manufacturing. J.R. Paine and Associates Ltd. owns and operates a falling weight deflectometer (FWD) for state of the art nondestructive pavement structure analysis, providing deflection testing on roads, highways, and airports across Western Canada.
JR Paine provides a broad scope of geotechnical services for highways and secondary roads, level and overpass crossings, bridges and culverts, drainage structures, slope and retaining structures, and ancillary projects.
JR Paine is nearing 700 total projects.
Geotechnical investigations and soil surveys for new roads and upgrading of existing roads.
Geotechnical investigations for railway facilities, and utility crossings
