Our Plant

Entirely manufactured at our partially automated plant in Victoriaville, Canada, Water-Gate barriers meet and exceed even the highest industry standards. Our employees and suppliers are dedicated to ensuring the consistent quality of our products, which contributes to MegaSecur's solid reputation worldwide.

From the cutting of the Velcro to the automated cutting and marking of all product component parts, each barrier is thoroughly inspected throughout the manufacturing process. Certain manufacturing information and production process controls are verified by our employees using digital tablets. A "Quality Conforming" seal and a unique identification number are then affixed to each product to ensure conformity and traceability.

MegaSecur A history of passion and innovation
1998

Water-Gate barrier creation

Daniel Déry trained as an industrial designer and started his own business and created his first company, which he named MegaSecur.

Marked by images of the flooding caused by the overflow of the Red River in Manitoba, he imagined a much faster and more effective solution than piling up sandbags to block the threatening waters: the Water-Gate water barrier.

1999

MegaSecur's beginnings

MegaSecur opened an office in Victoriaville and began the process of finding partners to subcontract the production of Water-Gate barriers.

After the sale of a first water barrier to the SOPFEU, the company hired a sales representative, and proceeded with product marketing and the establishment of a distribution network.

2006

Optimization and diversification of the Water-Gate line

MegaSecur worked to significantly improve the Water-Gate flood barrier and thus surpass the best products on the market. At the same time, different cofferdam models were also developed.

The City of Montreal acquired a Water-Gate water barrier (WL-0630), becoming the very first Canadian city to equip itself with flood protection proudly made in Quebec.

2008

Inauguration of the manufacturing plant in Victoriaville

The Industrie Vitex manufacturing plant, a subsidiary of MegaSecur, moved to Pierre-Roux Boulevard East in Victoriaville.
