EcoMetrix

What EcoMetrix does

EcoMetrix Inc. is a Canadian environmental consulting firm headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, with a secondary office in Cambridge, Ontario. Founded in 2004 by 14 former Beak International employees, the firm delivers specialized environmental services to the mining, nuclear, property development, and government sectors, with projects delivered across Canada, the United States, Peru, Argentina, Romania, Pakistan, Zambia, Mongolia, and Australia. Service offerings span environmental impact assessments, geochemistry, hydrogeology, water resources engineering, tailings management, eDNA biomonitoring, and reactive transport modeling, anchored by a proprietary methodology branded as Environmental Intelligence (TASC: Thought, Application, Solution, Communication).

The firm's competitive technology layer consists of three core software products: IMPACT, an environmental pathways and exposure modeling tool used for radiation dose and Derived Release Limit calculations in the nuclear sector; MineMod, a mine lifecycle simulation tool that combines water balance, water quality prediction, and Monte Carlo simulation across three access modes; and EMMA, an environmental monitoring data management application. These tools are deployed in client engagements and have been built into regulatory submissions, including Ontario Power Generation's nuclear work and the Marathon Palladium Project environmental assessment.

EcoMetrix operates a professional services, project-based revenue model with fees determined by scope and complexity, and a sales-led go-to-market focused on long-term client relationships. The firm was employee-owned from 2004 until its acquisition by Egis in September 2024, with the company continuing to operate under its brand identity. Calder Engineering was merged into the firm in 2021 to add water resources engineering depth. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified by NSF International and holds registered trademarks for IMPACT, MineMod, EMMA, and Environmental Intelligence.

Core offering

EcoMetrix is an environmental consulting firm that provides knowledge-based services to industry, government, and professional services firms across the nuclear, mining, property development, and government sectors. The firm delivers environmental assessments, regulatory compliance support, water quality management, mine closure planning, biomonitoring, and geochemical modeling across the full project lifecycle from feasibility through operations and closure. Service delivery is supported by three proprietary software tools — MineMod™, IMPACT™, and EMMA — and a formalized Environmental Intelligence™ methodology grounded in TASC principles.

Product overview

EcoMetrix is an environmental consulting firm offering a portfolio of proprietary software tools and specialized services. The core software suite includes MineMod™ (mine lifecycle simulation), IMPACT™ (environmental pathways and exposure modelling for radiation/dose calculations), and EMMA (environmental data management). These tools are supported by specialized services including Integrated Water Services, eDNA biomonitoring, and reactive transport modelling. The company's methodology is anchored in its proprietary Environmental Intelligence™ approach using TASC principles (Thought, Application, Solution, Communication). The software portfolio enables clients to model mine operations, predict contaminant fate and transport, manage environmental monitoring data, and assess radiological and ecological risks across mining, nuclear, and brownfield development sectors.

Products and services

• MineMod™ Mine simulation software that helps mine managers plan the entire lifecycle of a mine without breaking ground. It features an interactive graphic interface for visual site representation and combines water balance, water quality prediction, and Monte Carlo simulations with probabilistic inputs to support decision-making from feasibility through closure.
• IMPACT™ Environmental pathways and exposure modelling tool for radiation dose and Derived Release Limit (DRL) calculations. It assesses fate and transport of contaminants through user-defined environments, predicting concentrations in environmental media and quantifying exposure and risk to human and ecological receptors. Industry-standard tool used by Ontario Power Generation, CNSC, and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories.
• EMMA (Environmental Monitoring Modeling Application) Software solution for storing, managing, validating, and reporting environmental monitoring data. Features map-based sampling location management, data quality assurance checks, and customizable report generation for the nuclear and mining sectors.
• Environmental Intelligence™ Consulting Services EcoMetrix's proprietary methodology and approach to environmental consulting that integrates expertise through four principles: Thought, Application, Solution, and Communication (TASC). Guides project management processes and decision-making throughout project lifecycles across nuclear, mining, property development, and government engagements.
• Integrated Water Services Comprehensive consulting approach addressing all aspects of water in the natural environment including source, nature, quantity, and quality. Combines expertise in geochemistry, hydrogeology, water resources engineering, aquatic biology, and water quality modelling to deliver holistic water management solutions.
• eDNA Biomonitoring Services Environmental DNA biomonitoring services using molecular biology techniques to detect and identify organisms without disturbing habitats. Includes targeted assay development, metabarcoding, and species monitoring for conservation, invasive species detection, and environmental impact assessments.
• Reactive Transport Modelling Services Advanced geochemical modelling service that simulates physical and geochemical processes between minerals, water, gas, and organics. Used for testing conceptual models and predicting mine waste facility behavior decades or centuries into the future.
