SPI Utilities Solutions

In 2019 Elton Hunter and I came together to form SPI Inspections Inc. and along with a very talented group of experts, we focused on providing specialized utility system and infrastructure inspections throughout the power industry. Our founders have over 120 years of combined experience with extensive knowledge in design, construction, operation, and inspection of utility systems.

The idea was to fill a niche in the industry by thinking outside the box and employing cutting edge technologies from around the world to solve problems in new ways. Quickly we realized that our expertise positioned us well with companies such as ABB in China on their LNG project, ATCO Electric providing ultrasonic, ultraviolet and infrared imaging on their biggest 500 kV substations and lines, Teledyne FLIR as a beta tester for their newest technologies and various projects throughout Alberta, Canada with EPCOR, ENMAX, Red Deer Light and Power.

Working with our engineering team and researchers we were able to innovate and solve problems in new and environmentally responsible ways. This resulted in patenting new technologies and developing a line of products for cleaning energized high voltage electrical equipment, and SPI Utilities Solutions Inc. was born.

The sole supplier of dry ice high voltage cleaning equipment in the world, which allows our clients to maintain their critical infrastructure without turning the power off, saving them millions of dollars each year. We have distribution right across Canada, and expanded internationally in 2022.
