What White Water Management does
White Water Management Ltd. is a privately held, Alberta-based water management and industrial fluids services company founded in 2008. The company provides a comprehensive suite of services including dewatering (wellpoint, deep well, construction, mining), high-volume water transfer, fluid storage and disposal, industrial pumping, sewer bypass, industrial tank cleaning, water treatment (filtration, dissolved air flotation, hydrocarbon removal), river/creek diversion, and 24/7 emergency response for flood, fire, and fluid-spill events. Its operations are anchored by what it describes as one of the largest owned equipment fleets in the Western Canadian water management space, including submersible pumps, diesel/electric pumps up to 600 HP, hoses, generators, light towers, and ancillary equipment, complemented by patent-protected CN Mixer jet-mixing technology for tank cleaning and an exclusive Western Canadian distribution arrangement for EDDY Pump high-solids pumping equipment.
Whitewater serves enterprise clients in oil and gas (hydraulic fracturing water sourcing, frac water heating, pipeline hydrotesting), mining (open pit and shaft dewatering, tailings water management), construction (excavation dewatering, tunneling dewatering), municipalities (sewer bypass and infrastructure maintenance), and emergency response scenarios. Notable disclosed customers include Yangarra, Murphy, Tourmaline, Kelt, Delphi, NuVusta, Chevron, Nal, Seven Gen, and Black Swan. The company is COR-certified in Alberta and British Columbia, and is a member of ISNetworld and ComplyWorks contractor management platforms, supporting pre-qualification with major energy and resource operators.
The business operates on a project-based, quote-driven commercial model with three core revenue streams: full-service water management contracts (on-site technicians with 24/7 monitoring), equipment rental of owned assets, and equipment/hardware sales. In November 2019, Whitewater acquired Catalyst Production Systems, adding specialty production chemicals (corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, paraffin inhibitors, demulsifiers, H2S scavengers, hydrate inhibitors, foamers, biocides, and methanol) as a recurring input into its service offerings. The company operates from four offices — Calgary (headquarters), Grande Prairie (operational hub), Fort McMurray, and Chilliwack — and has indicated pursuit of international projects beyond Western Canada.
