Denis Drolet founded Préven-Tech in 1989 in the Saguenay, starting with vibration analysis. Today it's a second-generation family firm with 35+ years behind it and clients like Rio Tinto Alcan, ArcelorMittal and Niobec. What hasn't changed: a people-first approach, complete independence, and a deep commitment to health and safety.
Neither engineering nor construction, so we can't bid on projects. Your interests come first, always.
Hands-on know-how, tested on some of the country's biggest industrial sites.
Our people are our greatest asset. Full stop.
Family-owned. Second generation.
Preventive beats reactive. Every time.
From maintenance to audit.
Integrated into every mandate.
We're neither an engineering firm nor a construction company. That means we can't bid on your projects, and that's exactly why every decision we make is 100% in your interest.
No ties to engineering firms, contractors, or suppliers. When we recommend something, it's because it's the right call for you, not because someone's getting a commission.
Need an engineer and a technician but can't justify the full-time cost? Share them with other companies. You get all the expertise without the overhead. It's been our model since day one.
Safety isn't a separate line item. It's baked into every mandate from kickoff to final delivery. Our site monitors are experienced engineering technicians who know the best practices cold.
The questions our clients ask most often. Straight answers, no jargon.
Six core services: preventive maintenance, project management, site monitoring, inventory management, procurement, and audit-consulting. That covers everything from keeping your equipment running to making sure your next capital project comes in on budget. Clients include Rio Tinto Alcan, ArcelorMittal, Niobec, Resolute Forest Products, General Cable, Port Saguenay and the CIUSSS du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.
Four ways to work with us, depending on what you need:
Here's the thing. We can't bid on the projects we manage. We're neither an engineering firm nor a contractor, so there's no conflict of interest, ever. From planning to tendering, cost estimation to schedule management, we're on your side 100%, with every supplier.
Same goes for procurement. No supplier partnerships, no preferred vendors. Our managers run your bidding processes with one goal: the best result for you.
We go through every component of your equipment and build a maintenance plan that fits. By catching defects before they become failures, you're looking at 40 to 60% lower maintenance costs. Our planners dig into your technical records, order the right parts at the right time, and write precise work orders. Unplanned shutdowns become the exception, not the norm.
Plenty of companies have real technical needs but can't justify hiring specialists full-time. That's where shared services come in: multiple companies share the same engineer and technician, getting the full depth of their expertise at a fraction of the cost. We've been doing this since 1989. It's what we were built for.
Zero accidents. That's the only target that makes sense, and it has to be built into everything, not bolted on at the end. We push health, safety and environmental standards from day one of a mandate, through execution, all the way to final delivery. Our site monitors are seasoned engineering technicians who know what good practice looks like on the ground.
