BluMetric Environmental, an Ottawa-based cleantech company, announced that it has been awarded a new contract, exceeding USD 2.6M in the first year of a possible five-year span, to provide environmental engineering services to Vale Canada, a subsidiary of Vale. The contract provisions allow for the future addition of similar services and for future contracts over the five years.
As part of the project, BluMetric will undertake drilling, monitoring, and pumping of wells, aquifer tests and groundwater and surface-water sampling. Data collected during the project will be incorporated into the existing GIS-based Environmental Information System developed by BluMetric for Vale.
“This new contract emphasises not only the stability of our long-time client relationships but the effectiveness of our expanding technology reach and service offering”, said Nell van Walsum, president of BluMetric’s Professional Services group. “Our focus on strategic corporate growth strategies is rewarded by this type of contract”, said Roger Woeller, CEO of BluMetric Environmental. “This contract demonstrates the strength of this approach and it will remain an essential component of our overall strategy and our base for growth.”
