What Tr3e Experts-conseils Inc. does

Tr3e Experts-conseils Inc. is a Quebec-based multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm headquartered in Rimouski, with a second office in Baie-Comeau. Founded in 2013 by engineer Pierre-Claude Gagnon, the firm delivers structural, civil, electromechanical, and environmental engineering services to public-sector clients (notably Hydro-Québec, the ministère des Transports du Québec, and SÉPAQ) and to industrial operators in mining, forestry, aluminum, and maritime sectors (including IOC, Wabush Mines, Tembec, and Aluminerie Alouette). Its service portfolio spans buildings, bridges, general-contractor support, maritime and port infrastructure, industrial facilities, hydroelectric installations, wind energy, telecommunications towers, environmental studies, and applied R&D in materials and structural engineering.

The firm's core deliverable is fee-for-service engineering: design, analysis, inspection, feasibility, and technical advisory on capital projects, typically billed on hourly or fixed-fee project terms. Its competitive position rests on a senior-heavy bench led by the founder's 30+ years of structural engineering experience, and on regional proximity to Lower St. Lawrence and North Shore industrial clients that are less efficiently served by larger Montreal-based competitors. The firm is private and founder-owned, with no disclosed outside funding.

Tr3e generates revenue primarily through project-based mandates awarded via public procurement and direct industrial contracts. Geographic reach extends beyond Quebec into other Canadian provinces and internationally, though the bulk of work appears anchored in the Quebec market. The firm has expanded service lines over time into renewable energy (wind), telecommunications, and environmental studies, signaling an attempt to broaden the revenue base beyond traditional structural and civil mandates.
