Tensio by Canam is a Canadian IoT company that specializes in smart building monitoring solutions, focusing on roof maintenance and structural integrity. Founded in 2019, Tensio emerged in response to roof collapses in Quebec caused by snow accumulation. The company provides real-time structural monitoring to prevent damage from snow loads, water infiltration, and drainage issues, emphasizing preventive maintenance to reduce costs and preserve asset value.
Tensio offers roof monitoring systems that include structural load sensors to track snow and ice weight, as well as drain sensors to detect blockages. Their data-driven maintenance approach utilizes predictive analytics to optimize intervention timing and remote monitoring via mobile apps to minimize the need for manual inspections. Tensio serves organizations in commercial real estate, industrial facilities, and public institutions, focusing on infrastructure resilience and autonomous asset management solutions. Acquired by Groupe Canam in December 2024, Tensio combines its IoT innovation with Canam’s engineering expertise to promote sustainable infrastructure management.
