Tetra Tech provides a full range of expert ice engineering services for our clients in cold weather regions.

Tetra Tech has more than 20 years of experience providing comprehensive ice engineering and winter road services in North America. Ice is a reliable and economical means of supporting loads for construction, transportation, and resource exploration. When built and operated safely, ice covers provide an efficient option for working in cold weather regions.

Tetra Tech has served in various roles for high-profile projects requiring ice engineering and ice risk management skills.
