Rafael Moreno

P.Eng. Civil Engineer

I have worked for more than 10 years in Canada on civil projects using Civil 3D and AutoCAD. As a Civil Designer, I have dealt with surveyors, created civil engineering drawings, and helped design storm sewers, parking lots, and roads using geometric standards and CAD software. In my career I have been working for major Mining and Oil and Gas projects, offering solutions either individually or as a part of a team. At Fraser Valley, I found a company that really commit with its clients completing projects within timeframe and budget.
