ASDR Fabrication

What ASDR Fabrication does

ASDR Canada Inc. (operating as ASDR Fabrication) is a Quebec-based privately held engineering and industrial services firm founded in 2006, headquartered in Malartic with 300+ employees across 7 offices and 4 manufacturing workshops in Canada and Morocco. The company delivers four integrated service lines — engineering and project management (EPC/EPCM), water treatment, manufacturing and fabrication, and dredging — primarily to enterprise mining customers (Agnico Eagle, Glencore, IAMGOLD, Osisko Mining, Sayona), with secondary exposure to industrial, municipal, and forestry/pulp & paper clients.

The company's technology base combines in-house proprietary systems with licensed brands: the ECOMUD/ECOMUDMC system for treating water and sludge from mining drilling and tunneling, modular plug-and-play water treatment units, the IoT-based SNEC/DCSM digital confined space monitoring platform, and licensed Arcoplate wear-resistant alloy plates and Geotube geosynthetics. Through its wholly owned ECO Technologies subsidiary (acquired 2022) and Acadian Dredging Ltd. (acquired February 2026), ASDR operates one of the largest dredging fleets in Eastern Canada, with specialized amphibious excavators used for ice breaking and environmental remediation. The firm is ISO 9001:2015 certified for engineering and project management.

ASDR generates revenue primarily through EPC/EPCM contracts, long-term on-site service agreements, turnkey water treatment plant construction, custom fabrication, dredging services, and OHS/staff augmentation for mine shutdowns. Pricing is project-based, typically lump-sum or cost-plus on multi-year scopes. The company pursues enterprise field sales through direct relationships with major mining operators, supplemented by industry events and a modest organic social presence. Owner-operator Stephen Authier has led the company since founding; growth has been funded through operational earnings and small government development contributions rather than external venture or private equity capital.
