In winter 2019, Canada experienced a large number of building roof collapses due to snow and ice accumulation.

Tensio was founded in this context, 5 winters ago, to offer a solution that directly addresses the issues related to snow-covered roofs.

Today, Tensio is the only system on the market that can monitor the behavior of building structures, in real time, and according to the actual capacity that each zone of a roof can support.

Our solution was designed by structural engineers to simplify the day-to-day work of winter preventive maintenance.

Recognized Expertise in Civil Engineering in North America

Tensio is a Can-Explore company, a recognized leader in infrastructure and building engineering across Canada for its innovative approach and ambition in developing technological innovations for the engineering sector.

"At Can-Explore, many of our customers asked us whether they should clear snow from the roofs of their buildings, based solely on their own impressions.

They didn't want to clear the snow excessively and unnecessarily, because clearing snow from a building roof represents thousands of dollars each time, not to mention all the complexity involved!

On the other hand, overloading the roof entails high safety risks for the users
