Aqua Mesure

What Aqua Mesure does

Aqua Mesure is a French independent environmental measurement bureau founded in 2008 and headquartered in Lisses (Essonne, Île-de-France). The firm delivers self-checks, spot checks, and continuous monitoring of wastewater, drinking water, surface water, and groundwater for industrial operators, municipal water and sanitation utilities, and environmental engineering consultancies across France, with an operational concentration in the Île-de-France region.

The company operates a fleet of more than 500 measurement chains (flowmeters, automatic samplers, and physico-chemical probes), supported by a 12-vehicle logistics base, 250 simultaneous measurement points, and a 0-20 bar calibration bench linked to international metrological standards. Field teams hold CATEC, SST, and electrical certifications enabling work in confined spaces, and data is delivered to clients through a secure FTP portal managed with QGIS/Qfield planning and rendering tools.

Aqua Mesure monetizes primarily through professional measurement services (diagnostic studies, regulatory compliance monitoring, sanitation master plans) sold via direct, quote-based, multi-year contracts. It complements this revenue with equipment sales and rental — acting as the official French representative for Mainstream flow measurement hardware — and with calibration services tied to its in-house metrological bench. The firm is privately held, employs roughly 15 professionals (10 field, 5 administrative), and shows no evidence of external investment, acquisitions, or public listing.
