Maven Water & Environment Joins Integrated Sustainability
A Shared Vision for Water Management Innovation
Calgary, AB, January 2025 — In an exciting step forward for sustainable water management, Maven Water and Environment has officially joined Integrated Sustainability as of January 1, 2025. After working closely on innovative water treatment projects for several years, this new phase of collaboration unites two industry leaders driven by innovation, excellence, and a shared commitment to customer success.
Founded in 2019, Maven Water and Environment quickly established itself as a pioneer in passive and biological water treatment technologies. Maven’s innovations inherently reduce the need for chemical and energy-intensive active water management methods in certain areas of the treatment train, offering potential low-carbon benefits that complement sustainable water management goals. From the development of mBio gravel bed bioreactors (GBBR) and mGrow constructed wetland treatment systems (CWTS), which have been deployed to enhance wetland biodiversity and improve water quality, to the revolutionary mSource in situ water treatment designed to address complex contaminants such as ammonia, cyanide, and metals in tailings ponds and pit lakes, Maven has set the bar for innovative, sustainable water solutions.
“This partnership is about more than just aligning technologies; it’s about bringing together people who are passionate about making a difference,” said Dr. Monique Simair, Founder of Maven Water and Environment. “At Maven, our philosophy has always been about being a trusted expert—a maven—and empowering our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. Joining Integrated Sustainability allows us to scale that philosophy with an expanded team of water management thought-leaders, delivering even greater value to our clients while advancing the frontiers of sustainable water management.”
Integrated Sustainability, known for its end-to-end approach to water, waste, and energy challenges, sees this partnership as an opportunity to deepen its impact across industries. From mining and renewable energy to agri-food and municipal systems, the combined expertise of these two teams unlocks new opportunities to deliver tailored solutions that meet diverse challenges and raise environmental standards.
“The strength of this partnership lies not only in adding bench strength capabilities to our science and innovation teams, but also in the alignment of our values,” said Stuart Torr, CEO and President, Integrated Sustainability. “Maven’s focus on innovation, integrity, and relationships mirrors our own approach to business. Together, we’re amplifying our attention to client advocacy by building a stronger technical foundation for sustainable development.”
Projects will benefit from enhanced technical expertise, with solutions tailored to dynamic environmental conditions and supported by cutting-edge environmental technologies. With Maven’s state-of-the-art laboratory and pilot facilities in Saskatoon and Integrated Sustainability’s multidisciplinary expertise, clients can expect increased confidence in environmental technology to support operational outcomes.
At its heart, this partnership is about people—bringing together teams with the intellect, passion, and ethics to deliver transformative solutions. Clients can trust that their needs will remain at the center, supported by transparent communication, collaborative problem‑solving, and a commitment to long-term success.
