Our solutions

Having an in-depth understanding of the local geology is crucial for developing projects in the maritime sector (energy production, mineral resources, storage, infrastructure layout). It provides fundamental information for determining the choice of location, the type and size of the infrastructures that can be installed, and thus the technical and economic viability of a project. Drawing on its extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of marine geology, BRGM can provide you with support to help ensure the success of your projects by identifying the geological context and related risks.

BRGM offers you its expertise in mineral resource mapping and predictive assessment. In order to target the zones where deposits of the minerals you require are likely to be found, BRGM offers its expertise in mapping and predictive assessment.

If you wish to identify and evaluate underground resources for your raw material supplies, BRGM offers you its airborne geophysical services to facilitate prospecting for favourable deposits.

BRGM is offering its support to project developers by providing tailored solutions for controlled rainwater infiltration beneath former industrial sites and contaminated wasteland to prevent groundwater degradation.

You are a quarry operator, a developer or a public works contractor and you are not sure how to manage and recycle your excavated earth? The BRGM can provide support, from sampling to characterisation and treatment of these excavated soils.

Do you wish to easily use data produced or disseminated by BRGM? You can tailor these data to meet the needs of web developers, consultancy firms, public services, companies and other re-users by developing customised APIs.

Does your industrial activity emit less than 150,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and do you want to decarbonise your activities? It may be possible to capture and store your CO2 emissions in the subsurface of your site, while producing heat, thanks to an innovative technology developed at BRGM.

BRGM can help you identify the origin of your mineral raw materials, as well as with product quality control.

BRGM makes various kinds of geoscientific data available to the general public in different formats through its web portals. It also provides its public and private partners with standard or tailor-made training courses to help them exploit the data to the full.

Are you an infrastructure or works manager, or a transport network operator, and wondering how prepared you are to manage an earthquake occurring near your sites? BRGM can provide you with a service for the transmission and personalised management of rapid notifications to meet your prevention, security and business continuity requirements for your facilities and structures.

BRGM helps you rank the vulnerability of the environment around your industrial assets in order to control the risks to surface and ground water in the event of a spill of hazardous products.
