SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING ATTENTIVE TO SOILS and ecosystems
risks related to soil, subsoil and water. Founded in 1976, ERG (Études et Recherches Géologiques) specialised in geotechnics. Then, in the early 1990s, when soil pollution and water management began to hamper land use, ERG drew on its expertise in soil investigation techniques, geology and hydrogeology to provide solutions to our clients, who were increasingly demanding in terms of environmental issues. This marked the birth of ERG Environnement alongside ERG Géotechnique. A subsidiary of ABO GROUP France since 1999, ABO ERG Environnement is now one of the major players in this market at the national level.
ABO ERG Environnement is structured around two main areas of expertise, bringing together perfectly complementary skills and services.
Polluted sites and soils:
