BIL works extensively in the private and public sector. Burnside has worked on several remote sensing projects for mining companies that helped to define geologic structure and thereby reduce costs and improve exploration efforts. We have worked with a vast number of Indigenous communities in Canada and have also assisted the Peruvian Indigenous people with institutional capacity building and economic development projects.
Within the public sector, Burnsides has worked with international development banks (World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank), national and provincial governments (Barbados, Benguela in Angola, Bolivia, Canadian government agencies including the Canadian Space Agency, Environment Canada and CIDA).
Burnside is always interested in discussing collaboration (joint ventures, strategic alliances) with other organizations, including other consulting firms, non-profit organizations (NGO's, universities, research institutes, etc.) and individuals.

Environmental Products And Services
Water Supply And Sewage Treatment Specialists Able To Provide On-site Water And Wastewater Solutions That Meet High Quality Environmental Standards.
Burnside provides water and wastewater consulting and design services to municipalities, private,
industrial and First Nations sectors. We have a unique team of specialists who use advanced
tools such as remote sensing data from satellite to help find water supplies and offer cost effective
treatment solutions to provide clean potable water supplies.
Burnside's on-site treatment and disposal group have extensive experience in the design,
installation, operation and maintenance of on-site wastewater treatment and disposal
technologies. Our systems have been designed to handle wastewater generated from facilities as
small as a single home to large systems capable of servicing small communities. Recently,
technologies typically used for domestic wastewater treatment have been applied with great
success to the treatment of more specialized waste streams such as industrial and landfill
leachate.
Integration Of Satellite Imagery With Geological, Geophysical And Hydrogeological Data That Can Locate Groundwater Resources.
As surface water resources and easily accessible overburden aquifers become polluted or exhausted, the demand for potable water continues to increase, especially in the arid regions of the world. Locating and developing the groundwater resources hosted within the geological structures of bedrock requires a sophisticated approach in order to increase the success rate of a well drilling program. Burnside has the capability, by integrating a variety of data sets and utilizing leading edge technology, potential water bearing structural aquifers can be identified and water well sites selected.
Once structural aquifers have been identified, the quantification and sustainability of the water supply must be evaluated so that there is understanding of where the water originates and the mechanism of movement. In some cases, bedrock structures can act as a conduit to bring water from beyond a particular drainage basin. As with any resource, protecting its source from impacts such as pollution is part of the integrated approach to resource management.
