AquaTerra Environmental – Consultant of Choice for Highway Projects

The AquaTerra Team recently reviewed our involvement with Highway widening improvement, widening and interchange projects since 2008. We were amazed how many highway projects we have been involved with in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley (i.e., excludes work on Highway 3 and Highway 5). Specifically, we have been involved with the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement project leading up to the 2010 Olympics, the Port-Mann Highway 1 widening project, two (2) highway improvement projects along Lougheed Highway (Highway 7), and the Highway 1 widening projects (3 sections) between Langley and Abbotsford. We are also currently working on the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project. Our valued clients recognize the value and experience we offer at an economical price point relating to water quality testing, bird and wildlife surveys, sweeps and checks, fish salvages, and environmental monitoring and reporting to meet Ministry requirements.

Basic Taxonomies

Categories and Tags

desktop

If you write about a variety of subjects, categories can help your readers find the posts that are most relevant to them. For instance, if you run a consulting business, you may want some of your posts to reflect work you’ve done with previous clients, while having other posts act as informational resources. In this particular case, you can set up 2 categories: one labeled Projects and another labeled Resources. You’d then place your posts in their respective categories.

Categories are accessible from the post editor. There you can create new categories and assign them to your posts.

Tags, on the other hand, allow you to label your posts with relevant topics. For instance, within one of your resource posts you may choose to write about a set of project management tools. While you can certainly create a new category called “Project Management Tools,” you may not plan to write about the topic often enough to justify giving it a dedicated category. Instead, you may want to tag your post with several topics that exists within the post; e.g. project management tools, communication, time tracking, etc.

What’s great about tags is that they are searchable and provide your users another way to find content on your site. Anyone searching for “project management tools” will be able to locate any posts you’ve tagged with those words!
