In addition to the in-depth knowledge of the laws, rules and codes governing the underwater and aquatic industry, we also have ISO 9001 (2000) certification. All the equipment used by our divers, as well as the work procedures we follow during our activities, are in accordance with the standards stipulated by the Québec Saftey Board (CSST) and the Canadian Standard Association (CSA).

In order to keep full control over the constraints characterizing work on or underwater, members of our team make sure they always have the latest knowledge and certifications required for the projects. As well, SPG Hydro annually receives qualification from Lloyd's Register, Germanischer Lloyd and Det Norske Veritas for ship inspection (in-water survey).

Our will to attain high standards of quality is first reflected by our adhesion to the "Québec Charter of Total Quality".

In this context, we pledge:

• to listen to our clients
• to constantly strive to improve our services
• to ascertain our services fulfill the needs to our clients
• to favour creativity and development of our human resources
• to choose suppliers and associates who adhere to the same principles.

These commitments are translated more concretely by:

• technical supervision at each step of the contract
• coordination of the project in order to respect deadlines, by examination of the progression of the activities
• coordination of the project in order to respect costs
• verification of each design and sketch by immediate supervisor
• reading of reports by a third party in order to verify syntax and orthography.

Furthermore, internal rules and regulations have been put into place in order to insure an effective management procedure at every stage of our projects.

SPG Hydro International Inc. is accredited ISO 9001 (2000).
