CIMA+, one of Canada’s largest private consulting engineering firms, and Keywest Projects Ltd., a Calgary-based engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) firm known for its innovation in energy project execution, are announcing a strategic partnership. This new alliance will accelerate sustainable energy solutions across Western Canada and beyond.
It brings together two highly respected, employee-owned firms with complementary strengths. By combining technical expertise, resources and innovation, the partnership is poised to make a significant impact on both shared and independent clients, with the energy industry standing to benefit most. This partnership will enable end-to-end project delivery through the combined expertise of both firms.
CIMA+ offers extensive engineering capabilities across energy and resources, infrastructure, buildings, transportation, digital systems and environmental services, while Keywest Projects has delivered over 2,500 energy-sector projects, with specialized expertise in brownfield and greenfield execution, natural gas processing, carbon capture, hydrogen, biofuels, waste heat recovery and control systems.
“Our partnership is a direct response to the evolving needs of the energy sector, especially in Western Canada where innovation and efficiency are critical,” said Daniel J. Matthews, Regional Executive Vice President at CIMA+. “By joining our forces and expertise with Keywest in major projects, we are equipped to support our clients from concept through commissioning—combining technical depth with execution excellence.”
“This is more than a business alignment, it’s a strategic move to lead innovation in one of Canada’s most vital industries. Clients will benefit from expanded capabilities, faster delivery and deeper insight—whether they’re based in Alberta, British Columbia or anywhere across Canada.” added Stewart Nichols, Chief Technology Officer at Keywest Projects.
This partnership enables expanded service delivery in high-demand areas including natural gas infrastructure, carbon capture, hydrogen, electrification, biofuels and advanced control systems. By combining Keywest Projects’ strength in EPCM project delivery with CIMA+’s multidisciplinary engineering expertise, we can offer fully integrated project execution.
This partnership is effective since July 2025.
