We offer aerial and underwater surveys in order to kick off Pre-Construction, Feasibility Study or Site Investigation studies.

We conduct Statutory Inspections required by Quebec laws as well as Asset Reliability studies focusing on reinforced concrete structures, infrastructure (dams, bridges, viaducs) and Environmental studies.

We can conduct Surface Water Velocity Studies that help with evaluating sediment transportation, erosion protection or fish spawning habitat reviews, as well as Bathymetric Surveys to help design temporary cofferdams.

Our trusted partners have extensive experience with various Evironmental Surveys, EMPs and Timing Windows, as well as Waste Management Plans, and trust us to Integrate these into our service offerings.

Equinox is a full-stack project coordinator and brings on the biologist and environmental scientists when specialized assessments are required, then carries this information into an Early Contractor Involvement process.

With the Constructor present during the site assessement and review phase, this ensures that the design iterations are reduced and creates a more efficient project for the Developer.

Our partner Engineers (OIQ, PEO) carry out concrete rehabilitation design, drawings and models, while Equinox executes the construction work through our various RBQ licenses, Bond Facility and comprehensive insurance policies.

We take on projects and the General Contractor or Prime and execute the Rehabilitation, Safety Around Dams, and Equipment Upgrade projects through a Turn-Key contract model.

Building on our Aeriel and Underwater Survey capacity, we carry out an Early Contractor Involvement process in order to begin the design of the temporary work during the Site Assessment and Pre-Construction phases.

We develop Surface Water Velocity Studies, along with Bathymetric Studies, that then help our Engineers (OIQ, PEO) to design backfill, bag or structural cofferdams.

We then execute the Temporary Works ourselves through our specialized partners, leading to a seamless transition between all phases.

One of the components of our Safety Around Dams sector is the design, supply and installation of Debris Booms, Safety Booms and Safety Buoys. We coordinate with our preferred and industry-leading suppliers that work on dams accross the world, and install the in-water anchors, shore anchors, buoys and booms, no matter the site constraints.

Working with barges, pontoon boats or flexible work platforms, we can help with a wide range of dam environments, flow conditions and depth constraints.

In order to design and execute the work effectively, our Bathymetric Survey service is crucial and allows informed decision and work methods.

Project involving Turbine Replacement, Embedded Parts, Water Control Gates and Stoplogs, Lifting Structures and Equipment, as well as all types of equipement repairs, maintenance and upkeep, all require a range of stakeholders to carry them out.

As a specialized Project Integrator, Equinox assembles the designers, suppliers and technicians in order to effectively reach the projects' objective.

When these projects require Civil Work, Dewatering Work, Environmental Reviews or any other discipline, Equinox brings on the specialized suppliers under our Turn-Key approach, thereby lessening the load on the Client and ensuring an effective execution of the work.

The majority of our infrastructure require constant small-scale repairs, upkeep and maintenance tasks. On top of that, Safety Measures and Fall Restraint systems are crucial to the safe operation and use of our assets.

Through various contract models (Turn-Key, Lump sum, Cost Plus), we carry out these small-scale repair projects including design, supply and installation.

We can rely on our various teams, suppliers and partners to carry out every aspect of your project.

Structual and Geotechnical Analyses, required for Dam Safety Reviews and Detailed Design reports, are critical and required specialized consulting firms.

These firms then require on-site support, inspections, specialized data and often Early Contractor Involvement in order to qualify their assumptions and designs.

Through our Integrated approach, we assemble our partner Consulting Firms and provide the properly validated reviews, analyses and reports.

Investments in Water Control Measures, Water Regulation Equipment and various automation equipment will be required in order to deal with new hydrological conditions based on Climate Change, as well as personnel shortage.

Automated Water Regulation Equipment ensures a safer operation of the water control structure (dam) and requires specialized installation.

Through our Integrated Turn-Key Approach, we bring on the designer, supplier and fabricator, then install the equipment ourselves, all while taking care of the dewatering, demolition, and commissionning work ourselves.

Our changing hydrological landscape requires new surveys, data collection and reviews. These conditions impact our provincial and national dam infrastructure but also our bridges, embankments and waterways.

Erosion protection, shoreline restauration and erosion protection work are only some of the efforts that will require more attention over the coming years, involve Data Collection Teams through to Contractor Early Involvement.

As part of our Energy Transition efforts we help clients develop Sustainable Development Plans that identify different sources of cost savings, energy efficiency measures, renewable power generation and a list of other recommendations, backed by suppliers' AI-powered audit models.

While new power sources add Energy Resilience, they should be prioritized only once power savings measures have been put in place and optimized.

Whether its Feasibility Studies, Early Contractor Involvement, Site Assessment or Construction and Commissionning, we cover various types of renewable energy such as Hydroelectric (micro, small and medium scale installations), Hydrokinetic and Wave Power, Photovoltaïque (solar) and a range of mix-use scenarios.

We are involved in various calls for power in Ontario and Quebec, and help developers starting in the submission phase and going right through to long-term operation.

A critical component of any Renewable Energy Project (REP) is the preparation of an Indigenous Participation Plan (IPP) that involves the local First Nations.

Ensuring that traditional land owners are consulted, involved and made a part of any new development is incredibly important and requires specialized services offered by few firms.

When we are working on this type of mandate we bring on First-Nation Owned consulting compagnies that can carry out these consultations while we integrate their concerns and suggestions to the overall Project Plan.
