Kassian Dyck & Associates

What Kassian Dyck & Associates does

Kassian Dyck & Associates (KDA) is a privately held structural engineering and detailing consultancy headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, founded in 1994. The firm specializes in precast and prestressed concrete engineering, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design Construction (VDC), and specialty industrial structural engineering for complex facilities and offshore structures. KDA serves general contractors, developers, architects, institutional building owners (universities, hospitals), industrial and energy-sector clients, data center developers, and sports venue operators, with a project portfolio spanning more than 2,500 completed engagements across Canada, the United States, South America, the Middle East, and the North Sea.

KDA's core technology stack is built on Tekla Structures, Revit, and Trimble Connect, used to produce fabrication-ready 3D digital twins that integrate structural analysis (including finite element analysis and lateral load analysis) with Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles. The firm pairs this digital capability with deep domain expertise in precast concrete — recognized through Partner Wayne Kassian's roles on CPCI, PCI, and FIB technical committees — and offers adjacent services in facade and glazing detailing, adaptive reuse and Design for Disassembly, Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) design, concrete sustainability and lifecycle analysis, and independent auditing for the Canadian Precast Concrete Quality Assurance (CPCQA) Plant Certification Program.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with revenue generated through direct engagement with clients on individual construction projects. Pricing is scope- and complexity-specific; no standard rate cards or subscription tiers are published. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no resellers or channel partners. Senior Partners are involved on projects alongside Associates, Senior Managers, Project Delivery Managers, and Lead Project Engineers, and the firm also provides BIM implementation support, training, and operational audits to precast manufacturers seeking to integrate digital workflows into their operations. The company is partner-owned, with no disclosed external investment, M&A activity, or subsidiary structure.
