Descriptiontext

Velocity Group is a privately held Canadian geomatics and surveying services firm headquartered in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Founded in 2013, the company provides surveying and civil engineering services to customers in the oil and gas sector, operating with a headcount in the 11-50 range. Its operating posture is that of a small, regionally embedded field-services contractor focused on upstream and midstream energy infrastructure in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

The firm's service offering centers on geomatics (the discipline of geographic information capture, measurement, and mapping) and conventional surveying delivered into oil and gas projects, including work that supports pipeline, lease, right-of-way, and broader civil engineering scopes. The underlying technology stack is conventional for a small Canadian surveying services firm — survey instrumentation, GIS/CAD-based processing, and field-data capture workflows — with no proprietary platform, patents, or AI/ML components surfaced in the available source material. Pricing, contract structure, and project economics are not disclosed.

Velocity Group operates under a founder-led structure, with Chris Chiasson serving as Founder & President since inception. The company does not appear to have raised external growth capital, executed M&A, or undergone documented leadership transitions based on the available data. Its commercial model is project-based services revenue, with revenue magnitude, customer mix, and contract terms undisclosed, leaving meaningful uncertainty around scale, customer concentration, and growth trajectory.
