Avizo Experts-Conseils

What Avizo Experts-Conseils does

Avizo Experts-Conseils Inc. is a privately held Quebec-based consulting engineering firm specializing in the urban water cycle — encompassing sewer network flow measurement, hydrological and hydraulic modeling, environmental site assessment, shoreline and watercourse rehabilitation, stormwater management, and infrastructure design and supervision. The firm serves municipal governments, large industrial companies, SMEs, provincial government institutions, and land developers across Quebec, delivering six integrated service lines: Urban Water, Natural Environments and Watercourses, Urban Infrastructure and Transport, Gauging and Calibration of Measurement Equipment, Permits and Authorization, and Soils Rehabilitation and Recovery. Its client base is anchored by municipal mandates — Ville de Québec, Ville de Montréal, Ville de Laval, Ville de Longueuil, RAEBL, and MTMD — as well as industrial players such as Énergir's Urban Heating and Cooling division.

The firm differentiates through a multidisciplinary team of approximately 90 professionals (engineers, hydrogeomorphologists, biologists, environmental scientists, and field technicians) supported by proprietary field measurement technologies: Doppler area-velocity flowmeters, non-contact radar-velocity systems for silted pipes, sonar sludge measurement, infrared photoelectric sludge probes, portable weir techniques, and remote data acquisition systems for urban sewer collectors. Operations are organized across six Quebec offices (Sherbrooke HQ, Montréal, Québec, Laval, Drummondville, Granby), with the Sherbrooke office serving as the central hub. The firm holds ISO 9001 certification, ISN and Alcumus SafeContractor accreditations, and is licensed to navigate Quebec's regulatory environment (MELCCFP, ROMAEU, SQEEP, LQE, RESAEU).

Avizo operates a project-based professional services revenue model, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through fixed-fee engineering and environmental consulting contracts, typically structured as multi-year mandates (e.g., triennial flow measurement campaigns). Customer acquisition runs through a sales-led motion: a website "Demande de soumission" (Request a Quote) form, direct enterprise field sales, referrals, industry associations (AFG, ACQ), and thought leadership content (articles, webinars, case studies). Notable recent contract wins include the RAEBL sewer flow measurement campaign — described as the largest sewer flow measurement contract in Quebec in 2024 (82+ measurement points, 10 rain gauges, 5 municipalities) — and a 12-month Énergir CCU mandate for wastewater heat recovery feasibility. The firm has executed two acquisitions (Nordikeau in February 2017, Axio environnement in March 2021) to broaden capabilities.
