What Vista Does Vista Projects is an integrated industrial engineering firm that helps clients navigate the digital transformation of their projects and operations.
Our proven project execution process is based on a “single source of truth” model that eliminates the potential for inefficient engineering designs, cost overruns and project completion delays.
Why We Do It We believe the world needs industrial projects and that intelligent engineering data can increase the likelihood of innovative solutions getting to market.
Over the years, our multi-discipline teams have conceptualized and designed some of the most challenging and successful industrial processing projects in the North American energy sector.
Vista has established itself as a trusted industrial engineering partner for all types of projects, from conceptual studies and pilots to large-scale commercial expansions.
Where We Work The benefits of our approach apply to new asset developments and brownfield optimization projects across several industrial markets.
This includes biofuels and produced water treatment to natural gas and petrochemical processing.
We are headquartered in Calgary and maintain a satellite office in Houston.
