#Our solutions

Are you a Ministry of Mines or an institution responsible for developing the mining sector? BRGM supports you in creating an attractive, secure, and transparent environment. We design geological and mining information systems that maximize the use of your data and socio-economic benefits, positioning your country as a top destination for mining investments.

The exploitation of subsurface resources requires access to precise and comprehensive knowledge of basements as well as controlled information governance. BRGM, with a library containing over 200,000 documents (archives, maps, and reports), provides the proven open-source document management solution it uses. It offers customized services to reconstruct, preserve, manage, and disseminate documentary heritage.

Ministries and institutions responsible for national information, prevention, and risk adaptation policies, you are seeking solutions to implement a national strategy aligned with the Sendai Framework for effective and sustainable risk management. BRGM has developed the French State’s risk portal. For 10 years, our digital experts have been collecting, processing, and managing data to disseminate multi-risk information and provide services adapted to diverse audiences: interactive maps, customized reports, thematic files, and ready-to-use raw data.

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.

In a context of global climate change (sea level rise, coastal area dynamics), BRGM is actively involved in risk prevention and sustainable planning for coastal areas. We propose innovative approaches and tools and participate in coastal monitoring networks.

Do you want to recover certain low-grade metals from mining or electronic waste? BRGM offers you its innovative bioleaching solutions, based on 30 years of experience.

Are you seeking to carry out large-scale (regional or national) prospecting in industrial minerals and construction materials for a sector or group of sectors? BRGM can deploy its experts for a reconnaissance campaign with sampling and analysis, in order to target the areas with the greatest potential.

If you wish to assess the quality and quantity of industrial materials or minerals on a site or a quarry extension, BRGM can deploy its experts in a geological reconnaissance campaign including drilling, sampling, analysis, 3D modelling and resource estimation.

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.

Would you like to be able to characterise and qualify the raw materials in your cosmetic and pharmaceutical products? Find out more about their origins, crystallochemistry, morphology and stability? Remove all traces of foreign bodies that might come from the production lines? Analyse any packaging defects?

As a project owner or contractor, you might need to know whether the rocks and soil in a given area are likely to contain asbestos fibres. BRGM can provide support at every stage of your project, from the preliminary study through to the creation of detailed maps, including field surveys, sample collection and laboratory analysis.

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.
