The company is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario and has a history of more than 50 years in the environmental sector.
BluMetric describes itself as an engineering WaterTech and full-service environmental consulting firm. Its WaterTech business includes the design and manufacture of systems used for potable water and wastewater treatment. Examples disclosed in recent contracts include seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination systems, membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater treatment systems, and modular potable water treatment plants. These systems are deployed for applications such as supplying drinking water and treating wastewater for clients in locations including mining sites and island communities.
On the services side, BluMetric operates a Professional Services division that provides environmental engineering and consulting work. Public information highlights activities such as geotechnical and environmental investigations, design enhancements for mining rehabilitation projects, and broader environmental engineering services. The company notes that its team includes industry experts across professional and trade disciplines and technologies, which allows it to support projects from design through to delivery.
BluMetric reports that it serves a range of client groups, specifically Commercial and Industrial, Government, Military, and Mining clients. In mining, the company has disclosed contracts for WaterTech systems and environmental engineering work with multinational mining operators in Ontario, including potable water treatment plants for gold mining sites and investigations at inactive mines. In the Military market, BluMetric has referenced production for contracts with defence sector partners and water purification solutions related to naval projects, as well as a focus on mission-ready water technologies.
The company also emphasizes its geographic and operational footprint. In multiple public statements, BluMetric reports being supported by more than 230 employees across 11 offices and 3 manufacturing facilities, and in a more recent description references more than 385 employees across 15 offices and 3 manufacturing facilities. While staffing and locations can evolve, these disclosures indicate a multi-office, multi-facility platform built to support both technology manufacturing and consulting services.
Water technology and environmental engineering focus
BluMetric’s WaterTech activities, as described in its announcements, include systems designed for seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and modular potable water production. For example, the company has disclosed a contract to supply a SWRO and MBR system for a private island in the Exumas, Bahamas, providing potable water and treating wastewater. It has also referenced Mission Ready Water modular potable water treatment plants designed to remove contaminants such as total suspended solids, iron, manganese, and arsenic and to operate across a wide range of ambient temperatures.
In addition to hardware and system delivery, BluMetric has highlighted operations and maintenance (O&M) services tied to its WaterTech installations. A disclosed O&M agreement for a desalination plant in St. Kitts and Nevis illustrates the company’s effort to build recurring service arrangements alongside system deployments.
Environmental consulting and professional services
The company’s Professional Services business provides environmental engineering and related consulting services. Publicly described workloads include geotechnical and environmental investigations, design enhancements, and environmental engineering work for mining rehabilitation projects. BluMetric has indicated that it aims to leverage its presence in Ontario, supported by multiple regional offices, to participate in opportunities related to abandoned mine sites and associated environmental and safety risks.
Beyond mining, BluMetric’s disclosures note that its professional and technical teams support Government and Military clients. The company has announced a memorandum of understanding with an Indigenous community-owned defence enterprise to collaborate on water technologies and environmental engineering and consulting for Canada’s defence and environmental needs, including water purification solutions for submarine projects.
Client segments and markets
Across its communications, BluMetric consistently identifies four primary client segments: Commercial and Industrial, Government, Military, and Mining. In Commercial and Industrial markets, its water technology and environmental engineering capabilities are positioned to address environmental and water-related challenges. In Government and Military markets, the company highlights its mission-ready water technologies, environmental expertise, and participation in defence-related projects and industry events. In Mining, BluMetric has disclosed contracts for both WaterTech systems and Professional Services, including potable water treatment plants for mine expansions and environmental investigations at inactive mines.

It has also completed a brokered offering of common shares to raise capital, with disclosed uses including funding the cash portion of an acquisition and general corporate purposes.
The company has announced acquisitions to expand its capabilities. For example, BluMetric disclosed the acquisition of DS Consultants Ltd., an engineering consulting firm providing services in geotechnical engineering, environmental services, hydrogeology, materials inspection and testing, instrumentation and monitoring, and building science. BluMetric has described DS Consultants’ services as covering the land development and building construction cycle, from pre-purchase due diligence and design and approvals support through construction-stage review.
