FlowWorks Inc.

The FlowWorks web platform has its origins in Kerr Wood Leidal Associate’s flow monitoring and analysis work dating back to the 1980s. KWL is a Canadian consulting engineering firm established in 1975 to provide municipal infrastructure and resource management services to government, industry and First Nations clients. KWL built its name on its staff of flow monitoring engineers and other experts in data collection, measurement and analysis. As early as 1987, KWL engineers were performing QA/QC and data summary calculations on primitive VisiCalc spreadsheets. By 1995, the KWL engineering team had developed numerous in-house tools using sophisticated spreadsheets and Visual Basic programs to automate large portions of flow monitoring analysis. The FlowWorks technology was sold to a Washington State corporation in the spring of 2010, a move that would spur rapid adoption of the platform worldwide.
