About Alderstone
Alderstone Consulting Inc. is an independent engineering assurance firm based in Toronto, Ontario. We specialize in hazard identification, risk assessment, system safety, and security assurance for complex infrastructure and transit environments.
Our work is built on a single principle: that safety-critical decisions must be traceable, defensible, and grounded in recognized engineering standards. We help project teams, operators, and procuring authorities achieve exactly that.
As a boutique firm, we bring focused expertise to every engagement — no generalist staffing, no overhead. What you get is disciplined, evidence-based assurance work delivered with the rigor that safety-critical environments demand.

What We Deliver
Alderstone provides focused, high-quality consulting engagements across three core practice areas. Each service is tailored to your project's complexity, regulatory context, and schedule — with deliverables that are clear, traceable, and ready for regulatory or client review.
Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment
Systematic identification and analysis of hazards in safety-critical environments. We develop hazard logs, perform risk-informed prioritization, and propose practical, standards-aligned mitigation measures — suitable for regulatory submission or internal governance.
System Safety & Assurance
Independent assurance activities to confirm that system designs, documentation, and processes meet applicable safety standards. We develop and review safety cases, support RAMS compliance, and provide technical oversight across project lifecycle stages.
Security Risk & Threat Assessment
Structured assessment of security threats and vulnerabilities for infrastructure and transit systems. We produce defensible threat and risk assessments (TRAs), aligned with government and industry frameworks, suitable for procurement or regulatory contexts.
Independent Technical Review
Third-party review of engineering documentation, safety plans, and compliance submissions. We provide structured, evidence-based assessments for owners, operators, and procuring authorities who require an independent technical voice.
Risk-Informed Project Advisory
Strategic advisory support for project teams navigating safety-critical decisions. We translate complex technical and regulatory requirements into structured frameworks that multidisciplinary teams and senior stakeholders can act on with confidence.
