The GENIVAR Income Fund has acquired two consulting engineering firms: Montreal-based WSA Trenchless Consultants Inc. and Sherbrooke-based Envirotel 3000 Inc. WSA specializes in municipal infrastructure, while Envirotel specializes in environmental services.
WSA has expertise in trenchless technologies used to install, replace, test and stop leaks in water and wastewater systems. “This technique will enable us to rebuild aging infrastructure using less intrusive methods, thereby reducing the amount of ground-level excavation and minimizing the impact on local residents,” said François Perreault, VP, Western Quebec, GENIVAR.
WSA has carried out projects in several Canadian provinces; its clients include the City of Montreal, the City of Ottawa, the City of Cornwall, the City of Calgary and the Halifax Regional Water Commission.
