The Bercha Group is a service and consulting engineering organization based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, specializing in risk analysis, engineering, and geomatics. The Bercha Group has successfully completed hundreds of projects for industrial and government clients in Canada and worldwide since its initiation in 1975. In 1975, the Bercha Group founder and President, Frank G Bercha, PEng, already had over 10 years’ experience in pipeline and structural engineering design and research including Arctic offshore, petroleum, and probabilistic design applications. Since its formation in 1975, the Bercha Group has provided specialized expertise in risk analysis, design and probabilistic engineering, and geomatics including remote sensing airborne data acquisition and interpretation. The Group in the last few years has concentrated on Canadian projects in its unique area of expertise, Risk Analysis.

The Bercha Group's clients range from industrial and private to government, both in Canada and world-wide. We have provided consulting services to our clients since the Group's beginning in 1975. We are pleased to continue to work with many of these and many new clients into the 21st Century. The Group is proud to have served, and to continue to serve, a wide variety of private and public sectors. In the last 25 years, many of our projects have focused on risk based land use planning for, or as required, by municipal, provincial, and federal government agencies. We have carried out over 50 projects in Alberta, with the majority in the Edmonton area, including the major Cumulative Risk Assessment of the east industrial area of the City of Edmonton in 2000, consisting of the drafting of risk based land use guidelines, technical and public consultations, and development and presentation of the guidelines including aerial photography maps with  risk based setback contours for all significant hazardous facilities, road and train transportation routes, and other hazard sources in the City. The guidelines developed form a significant part of the current risk assessment requirements of the City’s Planning and Development. A similar project was carried out for the City of Regina in Saskatchewan in 2005 and for the city of Hermosa Beach in California in 2002 and for Santa Barbara in 2000. The Group has conducted projects not only in Alberta, and Canada, but also world-wide, in the USA in Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, and California locations, the Russian Arctic., Southeast Asia including Malaysia and Indonesia, Australia, South America, and Europe. The majority of the projects in Asia were motivated by airborne remote sensing using the Gulfstream G-159 airborne SLAR system it owned and operated since 1980, but decommissioned in 1995 as satellites became the main and most economical source of air and space-borne radar data. However, because the Group had offices and representatives in the Asian regions, it also carried out risk and reliability projects in these areas since during its tenure of airborne remote sensing systems.
