What GéoPlusEnvironnement does

GéoPlusEnvironnement (also known as ABO-GEO+) is a French environmental and geological engineering consulting firm (bureau d'études) founded in 2000 and headquartered in Gardouch, France. The company specializes in regulatory compliance and environmental studies for the mineral industry — including mines, quarries, aggregates producers, cement and asphalt plants, and brick factories — as well as industrial operators and local authorities. Its core service domains are quarry (Carrières) and mine (Mines) studies, water/hydraulics (Eaux), and environment (Environnement), spanning ICPE and Code Minier regulatory dossier preparation, environmental impact and danger studies, hydrogeological and geological assessments, ecological surveys, mine closure studies, and ongoing environmental monitoring.

The firm's flagship technology asset is Géo+Vision, a proprietary web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) for environmental and safety management on quarries, mines, and industrial sites, providing data centralization, cartographic visualization, automated environmental reporting, and regulatory deadline alerts. Supporting the GIS layer, the company uses CORALIS for 3D modeling of quarry and mine exploitation plans, CadnaA for noise modeling, ADMS4 for air dispersion modeling, AutoCAD for cartographic output, and in-house drone telepiloting for aerial site surveys. The firm employs a team of specialized geologists, hydrogeologists, ecologists, and environmental engineers, with credentials from leading French institutions including ENSG Nancy, BRGM Campus Orléans, ENSIL, UniLaSalle, and AgroParisTech.

GéoPlusEnvironnement operates a professional services business model, generating project-based revenue through custom-engineered consulting engagements priced on a quote basis. It serves enterprise B2B clients directly through 5 regional agencies covering all of metropolitan France (Gardouch/South HQ, Chécy/Centre & North, Remiremont/East, Champtocé-sur-Loire/West, and Alixan/South-East). Since January 2021, the company has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ABO Group France, which employs 700+ people across France, the Netherlands, and Belgium, with GéoPlusEnvironnement functioning as the core entity for quarry and mining environmental studies within the broader multidisciplinary engineering group.

Direct peers

• Antea Group France: Environmental and geotechnical consulting firm offering ICPE permitting, hydrogeology, polluted sites and water resources work for industrial and mining clients across France — a direct competitor on the same regulatory dossiers and with a comparable multi-regional agency model.
• Burgeap: French environmental engineering consultancy (Egis subsidiary) providing ICPE dossiers, environmental impact studies and water/pollution assessments for industrial, mining and infrastructure clients — directly overlapping with GéoPlusEnvironnement's core offering but with significantly larger headcount and international reach.
• Géodéris: Joint venture between BRGM and INERIS specializing in post-mining risk management, after-mine studies and safety/environmental assessments of mining concessions — directly comparable to GéoPlusEnvironnement's Code Minier and mine closure work for the same French regulatory perimeter.
• FONDASOL: French geotechnical and environmental engineering firm providing soil, water and environmental studies for construction, quarry and industrial projects — competes with GéoPlusEnvironnement on geotechnical, hydrogeological and ICPE work for the same operator base.
• ICF Environnement: Independent French environmental consultancy delivering ICPE dossiers, environmental impact studies, ecological diagnostics and waste/pollution assessments to industrial, mining and public-sector clients — a head-to-head peer for quarry and industrial environmental mandates.

Others

• BRGM (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières): France's public geological survey, providing subsurface expertise, mineral resource studies and environmental monitoring referenced by French mining and quarry operators. Not a direct competitor for ICPE dossiers but a key ecosystem reference and source of technical authority (and the parent of Géodéris).

Broad incumbents

• GINGER Groupe (GINGER CEBTP, GINGER BURGEAP): Major French geotechnical, environmental and materials engineering group offering ICPE studies, hydrogeology, geotechnics and environmental monitoring — directly comparable service portfolio to GéoPlusEnvironnement with significantly broader national and international coverage.
• Egis Environnement: Environmental and engineering business line of the Egis Group, delivering impact studies, water management and environmental permitting across infrastructure, energy and mining — overlapping with GéoPlusEnvironnement's environmental and water (Eaux) practices at a much broader portfolio scale.
• WSP France (Golder): Global environmental and geotechnical consulting major (including legacy Golder Associates) with a strong French practice serving mining, quarrying and industrial clients on permitting, impact studies and site rehabilitation — competes for the same large mining and environmental mandates with substantially greater resources.
• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): Global pure-play environmental, health and safety consultancy with deep mining sector expertise (ESIA, permitting, mine closure). Competes with GéoPlusEnvironnement for larger international and French mining clients, particularly where multinational operator standards apply.
