Company

An instrumentation and monitoring company for infrastructure that cannot be allowed to fail.

Instrumentation, and the understanding that comes after it

TestoGauge was founded in Ontario in 2024 to close a gap its founders had spent their careers watching widen: monitoring projects that produce thousands of readings, and owners who still cannot say quickly what happened, where, why it matters, or what to do next.

We work with the owners of dams, tunnels, bridges, ports, rail corridors, energy assets, deep foundations, pipelines and mines. We supply the sensors, install and calibrate them, and run the platform that turns what they report into something a person can act on.

Our clients rarely lack data. Closing the gap between data and decision is the whole of our business.

Leadership

Three engineers, one conviction: monitoring is only worth what the decision at the end of it is worth.

Rashin Sharifi

Rashin Sharifi M.Sc., EIT

Chief Executive Officer

Rashin leads the company. An Engineer-in-Training with a master's in electrical engineering and control and a diploma in computer programming from Seneca Polytechnic, she works across both halves of what we do — instrumentation practice on one side, the software that turns a reading into a decision on the other. She is currently pursuing P.Eng. licensure in Canada.

Ali Mirza Asgari M.Sc., B.Eng.

Co-Founder & Managing Director

Ali leads the company's engineering direction and its client partnerships. He works directly with asset owners to translate a monitoring objective — dam safety, tunnel convergence, port structure integrity — into an instrumentation scheme that answers it, and is responsible for the standards our field and calibration work is held to.

Co-Founder & Technical Director

Omid leads the monitoring platform and the data engineering behind it: sensor integration, connectivity across remote sites, and the analytics that turn continuous readings into a clear picture of an asset. The digital-twin approach behind our product philosophy is his work.

Why owners work with us

Engineers, not resellers

Both founders are practising engineers. The person who specifies your instrumentation is the person who will stand behind the readings it produces.

One accountable partner

Sensors, installation, connectivity, calibration and the analytics platform come from a single team — no gap between who supplied the hardware and who explains the data.

Built for Canadian conditions

Freeze-thaw cycling, spring melt loading and remote sites with no power or coverage are the normal case for us, not an exception to design around.

Vendor-neutral instrumentation

We are not tied to one sensor manufacturer, so the instrument we propose is the one that suits the structure, the environment and the budget.

A platform, not a dashboard

Readings are organised around the asset with location, history and thresholds in one view, so a situation is understood in seconds rather than reconstructed from spreadsheets.

Young company, experienced team

Founded in 2024 on decades of combined project experience — recent enough to build on current technology, established enough to know what fails in the field.

What we hold to

Clarity over volume

We do not sell more data. Every feature has to make a decision easier to reach.

Context is the product

A reading only means something in place and over time — we organise around the asset.

Speed where it counts

We compete on the time between an event happening and someone understanding it.

Accountable engineering

Traceable calibration, documented installation, named engineers behind every interpretation.
